Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: Running psclient on ATI Catalyst 8.5
« on: July 27, 2008, 09:09:51 pm »
Unode, I think you have found something usefull there, if I hadn't read that I might have given up!

I was using Catalyst 8.4 which worked for me up until the last update ((22nd july?) where upon the PClient crashed every time, 75% into loading the world.
I tried: Sound off, Antialias = 0, Fullscreen, VBO off unchecked all pre-loads etc and various combinations to no avail.

I've tried various drivers: 8.7, 8.6, 8.3, 7.12, 7.11, and third party Omega driver 48442, all of which gave me the standard "This program has found a problem and will now close" error.
edit: 7.11 may have worked with the PClient but I could not install them, I'll recheck this at some point.

By turning hardware acceleration off I managed to load (albeit unplayable) so this is obviously a 3D/driver related problem.

Anyway the point is I now have it working using the original Catalyst 4.6 drivers supplied on cd with the card  \\o// so if that's any help to anyone with a similar problem.

edit: and even better, it works with all the fancy options (sound/vbo/AntiA/etc) enabled!

General Discussion / NPC interaction improvement
« on: July 21, 2008, 11:23:13 pm »
As a new player, getting used to the NPC interaction is awkward at times but is an interesting departure from the norm.

I'd like only one change: NPC's should be able to repeat quest information if you ask them.

E.g. On one of my first quests (take item) to person and tell them message) I did not know at the time I could make notes in the quest box,and after a crash I lost the NPC dialog history so I could not complete the quest. Nor could I delete it or restart or get a replacement item. Since my character was new I just deleted and started again this time noting the quest info.

Perhaps the NPC could respond to querys such as "What was your message to person?" or "What was the quest for item again?" or better yet, since OOC is not such a problem talking to an NPC, maybe just "repeat quest title info"?
