Title: Alright, theres no reason for this....
Post by: Suno_Regin on October 28, 2005, 04:04:37 am

In Hydlaa, near the tavern, I used to lag, and run on about 6 FPS until I came down the stairs and to the Harnquist area...Now, I am completely frozen there, as soon as I stepped near the tavern, I froze, relogged, and now I can\'t even load the game because I freeze right away...

Theres simply NO NEED for this lag, nothing is causing it, and my FPS should not lower in this area without some real reason...

EDIT: Also, this little freeze seems to be screwing a few things up for me when I view laanx.fragnetics, look at a few things in what it says...

Player Hours XML error: no element found at line 1

-----------------------------------------------------

I don\'t know -exactly- whats wrong, but the XML error and the \"0X46\" thing don\'t look normal

I agree with this one...

The lag appears in an area that runs in a line level to Kada-El`s.  The wierd thing is, if you go up stairs It returns to normal???.

The ping is also highly erratic, usaly resulting in the server restarting then all the NPC`s become immune to attacks.

And all after the update.

I have every confindence in the dev`s ability to sort this but are they aware of this level of problems?.

[EDIT: Just to add I cannot even see the stats page, it seems to halt when loading and looks half complete]

After waiting 20 minutes, I managed to get ingame and surpass the lag, now there appears to be server lag, so the chat is screwed up, combat, everything...Tahiel made a move to fix it, by moving players to random locations, and I got moved to my most unfavorite spot, sector outer...Where I crash due to my sound being on, so now I can\'t login at all... >.<

Apperantly the move didn\'t work either :/

Title: FPS
Post by: Stronith on October 28, 2005, 06:08:04 am

I played for 2 hours this morning and had to restart the client 6 or 7 times because my FPS progressivly went down to less than 2.  If I let it get below 1, my whole game would freeze.  

My time was spent mainly in the arena where I noticed it more there today than yesterday, but it happened  in town near the stairs to the tavern as well.

There has been a patch (I would prefer calling it *BIG* workaround) committed to CVS. It doesn\'t solve the problem, but it lets you play.

Anyway, we know that there is also this problem :\\

We measure netversion in hex:
#define PS_NETVERSION   0x0046

At first I thought it was just a huge item stack hidden away near the tavern that caused the lag :P

Well there is the two floating mugs near the tavern that one requires 120 lock pick skill and the other requires 20 lock pick skill to open, I have no idea if they are still there though.

Err...Lockpicking isn\'t implimented yet, at least I don\'t think...

it is :)

*had a 200 lockpick chest full of longswords worth a total of 500k tria, but the idiot sold the chest for 150 tria xD*

the laanx.fragnetics no server xml wajjamacallit does that often, just wait a while and osmeone kicks it in the cyber goolies and its fine.

I too get heavy fps drop on approach to the plaza area from any direction, once i get to the actually plaza it is fine, odd, it may be something that was changed inthe update

And where the hell do I even pick a lock...>.>
