    On the EL downloads page, you need to right click the link and "save as".  This downloads the file to you machine which you then you can run to install.

     

    As well as the Ubuntu/Debian packages, there is also a Flatpak package that is available in the Flatpac store; this is my recommended install method.  Though if you are on Ubuntu, they have unhelpfully disabled Flatpac by default.

    The message is just informational, and similar to the "Skip!." message for sound; it just indicates that the client is not keeping up with actors changes.  This can be because your machine is running a bit slow.  Also, a few releases ago (i.e many years), the client was modified to reduce the frame rate when the window is hidden or minimised.  This reduces the load on your machine when you are not interacting with or viewing client.  That change can increase the times you see the Resync and Skip messages, depending on where you are.  For example in a busy place with lots of actors, you may see more messages.  If you are AFK when this happens, was your client window minimised or hidden?  Were you in a different location than usual, with more activity going on around you?

     

    My preference would be to just remove the messages.

    One problem that would be nice if it could be fixed, I know I mentioned it on @6 the other week, I don't know if anyone saw it, is that if I am standing close enough to the store NPC to open the storage I should be close enough to use the storage. I'm not talking about moving once it's open, just when I am standing still, click the NPC to open the window and then can't use it without moving closer.

    I think that can only be fixed on the server.

    with the mac client an old problem i had and is present on the new test version is when taking items out of the storage in the magic section, some of the items would change places as you remove stuff, i have a screen recording of this and will try to upload it here either from my mac or via a youtube link

    its more an annoyance than a must fix, not sure if other mac users have same problem?

    Do you have item_uid set to 1?  Use the command "#item_uid" until it says " Send Item UIDs 1`.  Does that help?

    I see, I did load the second version right after u fixed it, but for some reason it did not wrote the new content on top of the old one. How should i do it? Anyway, its good, that it has been fixed:) And my tablet warned me of loading the file...

     

    Just download the .apk file. Your browser should prompt you to install the app once its downloaded.  You likely have to give the browser permissions install apps, which you can and should undo afterward.  You can also install the app from your file manager once its downloaded.  The install process should prompt you yo "update" if you already have the app installed.  You do not need to uninstall the previous version, nor clear cache or data.

    Im playing with android, new test version, using pointing pen, and have also still problems to open sto, bots and haidir etc, even if i loaded the fixed version of the 1.9.7 test

    I could see the issue on the first build and its fixed in the second; it was an obvious regression.  Just to make sure you have the correct version loaded, can you give the version number the client gives for "#ver".

    Yes, filter is active.

     

    And after switching between the old and new client a few times now, F1 key works now as expected, same with the spell bar and amount bar in inventory window >.<

    Were you able to restore the old files from backup to check if they worked?  If you were actually on the 1.9.6 release rather than the 1.9.6p1 release, you may have still been using the old format, binary files.

    The spell bar and the inventory are completely unchanged in this version.  The quantities are stored in the client_state.json file that contain many other settings such as window positions, indicators, inventory settings and the flag that says if you are a new install (hence to present the language selection and rules).  If none of that has changed then your client_state.json was read OK.  The quick spells are stored in the spells_<player>.json file.  Its very basic.  The json library we use has been updated but I did not experience any issues when I did that.  Do you have backups of the old files?  It would be interesting to see if the error is repeatable.

     

    The graphic problems are similarly weird.  Nothing has change in that code either.  Have you tried switch between the new and old shaders (unchanged since 1.9.6.1)?  Have you tired enabling/disabling the animation program setting?  You will need to restart if you change the animation program setting.  I also have custom cloths enabled.

     

    What version of the old client are you using?  Does that have the graphic issues?

    I do not know the specifics of mac installs but the data directory is shown in the console with the text "The location of the data files in use is ".  You need to unzip the zip file into there so you end up with a "sound" directory with all the sound files, and if using the music, a "music" directory with all the music files.
