Arrow attack crash and animation glitch

[LARAGORN]

Is anyone else experiencing this ?

I cast the arrow spell twice and always crash. I have done is a few times and the result is always the same.


Edit: Look down for the animation glitch.   

[chazarus]

i cant cast it outside at all on BDRoad or OJARoad
I also crash with weakness.

[Tarel]

The crashes, when using magic are known and confirmed since yesterday.
Many people had the problem and the devs are working on the problem, together with all other problems, that accured since yesterday.

[LARAGORN]

Thats good to hear Tarel thanks

[AryHann]

I confirm what Tarel says. It is a common problem, if you have a dump, please check the proper thread (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=26465.0) to see if there are updates on known crashes.

I have this problem also, how will these things be fixed?

Will we update the client?

[AryHann]

At the moment, you have to just bring on patience and avoid casting missile or going to bd if you have encountered the problem earlier.

[LARAGORN]

Thanks AryHann

I have an ATI card, not a Nvidia as listed in the 'Crashes and Dumps' thread, so I suspect it isnt a card specific bug.
I will try to get a Dump file sent to the Email posted in the Crashes thread.

That's a great news for helping us understanding the problem!

lol the question was how will it be fixed lol.

Will i just update my client?

[AryHann]

Ah, sorry :-)

* AryHann is too tired to think clearly

I suppose that should be enough

Instead of starting a new thread I thought i would add to this one.

I have noticed a new animation glitch while i was moving around Harnquists. my character would 'jump' for a split second, it is too fast to get a screenshot.
when moving forward or backward, it seems the legs come up to waist hight and out to the side. It is as i said very fast maybe a 10th of a second or faster.

I will try to get a screenie of it, but 45 tries yesterday couldnt capture it.

I can confirm the "Jump-and-stick-out-leg-in-a-strange-angle" problem.

It happened to me yesterday, but in Ojaveda. I could not figure out exactly what triggers it,
but it seemms to be related to a change in animation and/or moving direction. Example: I turn and then start to walk
without pausing first. (not sure about that, as Laragorn mentioned, it is extremely fast)

Dunno if thats important, but character model is female Enkidukai.

Me too i made a motion like "singing in the rain".... and it did it at Harnquist, in the wild and in Ojaveda.
For the magic i have crashed many times when casting summon missile on the carkaras in the DR but Flame Burst works (but without the animation so i can't impress girls  ).

about arrow attack, this is what i have found:
Friends with linux versions have no trouble casting the spell so it seems to affect only the windows version.
You dont need to cast anything for the client to crash, if you are seeing somebody casting it, it crashes too! just happened to me right now.
Seems that the animation for the spell is wrong, not for the casting, the spell, it does not show the arrow but an increasing bright white light, AFAIR this animation belongs to another spell.

Hope that helps locating the problem.
