VERSION 0.3.020 - WHAT IS NOT WORKING FOR YOU?

[sgtkwol]

Haven't been able to mine a thing, since the update.  Just says that you don't see a good place to dig.  Happens with all mines, I did some digging all over the place, nothing.

[Siteri Kidachi]

the release just happened the mirrors are never updated the same day. give it a few days

Rats. Then I'm not playing for those "few days" because BitTorrent won't work for me... ARGH! Even being on Windows doesn't save me from not being able to play when everyone else can!

with regards to laag, I am running duel AMD 64 3800, have 3gb ram, 2x 7600GT Nvidia cards... and it is still laaaaagy and slow loading on maps. and the detail is nothing compared to say - Guildwars which it runs on full detail spec with ease???

And detail lowering on camera makes no difference at all.

[Piker]

Just tried to walk around Harnquists, it was like walking in quicksand. Almost unbearable.....

I'm running a p4 3.2ghz, 2gb ram and an Nvidia 6800GT gfx card. Even with everything turned to minumum, it's still unplayable.

I assume the new grass is the problem, is it possible to turn it off somehow? Otherwise i can see me avoiding Hydlaa at all costs.

[Velh Krome]

hm cant see that lag-problem as described. even harns is still smooth, even with two clients running that spot.

what sort of unpleased me is, that some of my alts, that i used to play for quite some time (trained a bit, quested a bit as well), had to start off in the tutorial area.

my specs are:
asus a8js, intel duo core 2x2ghz, 2gb ram, nv 7700 go (512mb), os Debain/Unstable (Sidux)

Hello,

I would like to add my disagreement with the new duel system as Akashani and Stylee said with more technical arguments.

Thanks for your attention,

Best regards!

There is no new dueling system. As Stylee already said, there was a change to prevent you from claiming an NPC from far away. As a side effect (or the choice of allowed distance), I can see that dueling is less fun. You will just have to wait for some devs to:
1. notice that this is a bad side effect (as is the fact that you probably can no longer attack the mercenary behind the fence in the arena)
2. find a way to fix this
3. find the time to fix it
With all the other problems that you all noticed, the last one may be the most difficult

Oh and about the lag: I have an intel graphics chip, and it is not unbearable at all. Actually, in most cases things run better for me (I did timing comparisons between old and new maps). THe lag seems caused by looking in directions with many polygons, such as the city. Grass does not help, but is by no means a cause of the 'unbearable' speed. As ThomPhoenix already said, these things are known, but may also be related to Crystal Space. It will just take some time to find the cause and a solution.

Heya

i have a AMD 64x2 duel core, 5200+, 2 gb Ram, Nvidea Geforce 8600 GT with 256MB ram, OS Ubuntu 7.04
What Internet Connection do you have? My Internet Connection is dsl 16000kBit/s

And i have no problems with loading the Maps or lags, except for they are lots of ppl's around me. Maybe it's the Internet connection?

Regards Akashani

Don't whine, I did all tutorial quests twice today, and then respawned .... in the tutorial map!! I seriously wondered if this was Nilayas Curse of Death
Serious again, there are some bugs there. A report should have been added by now (I hope), because not only does every new character go through, but if they die, they go to DR. And that after the magic trainer suggesting to jump of cliffs, just to see what happens

i also am having problems with the new update the problems i am having are..

1. Mouse Movement.. this is strange i was able to right click on the ground and my character would move there(before the update.. now i cant i click and nothing happens..)

2. Cursor Movement lags... the mouse movement is allot slower than before and it is choppy .. it seems the cursor cant keep up with the mouse.

3. All the Tall Grass.. all of the tall grass everywhere in hydlaa.. i think it looks great but.. I think it might be the cause of allot of the laggy behavior..(is there a way some one could tell me how to load the old map or at least delete the trees.. or is it hopeless)

i was able to raise my speed and reduce some lag. i removed the 4 chat bubble files and the 1 shadow file from the.. planeshift\data\effects\misc\ .. and i moved those 5 files to a temp folder and this helped by removing the chat bubbles and the shadows from the game

[Laefyll]

 I just need to know what i do, after i install .020.

[Durwyn]

I just need to know what i do, after i install .020.

run psclient in your planeshift folder

[Laefyll]

I get a access violation error.

[Nikodemus]

there is option in setup to preload all models. If it is off, PS crash. If i leave it on, i almost run out of memory after the map is loaded.
I didn't load Hydlaa plaza yet, but it is highly possible i run out of memory in the process.
Because of that the game lags like hell in places where i considered it playable, smooth.

The mouse cursor lags. it was completly ok before, even if below 1FPS.

[Suno_Regin]

I'm, off and on, getting terrible lag spikes. It'll happen about once every 5 minutes, all at once I just spike to the point where the game's unplayable for about a minute. If I'm running when that spike happens, my stamina completely drains and I barely move an inch.

[Laefyll]

Ehh.. No clue how to even get the game to work.  Ill just wait a week or so til updater is working i guess.
