    I have noticed the lagged in Playonlinux - wine - with 1.94

    I have used wine as syncing the linux ver and the windows version problematic..

     

    EL 1.93 ran very well using wine...actually better than windows... not so with 1.94..

    Havent tried 1.94 linux.. Having problems setting data directory... I use PCLinuxOS..

     

    EL 1.94 says data directory invalid... although I changed el.ini... no problems with 1.93...

    Good Point...

    then the teh God has quite a range...

    that would explain the drastic changes in rates.. at times...

     

    and if one was set the ratios in a manner to control this, there would be no need for the global release check..

    Ok makes sense.... is just ur statement about Radu and the decrease rate that had me confused

     

    Enjoyed the discussion... now to play.... later..

    Thanks Raz.....

     

    As I stated.. there has to be balance in the game.... ie.. a general quota period.....

     

    "as you near the quota, the chances decrease" then by logic, if the quota is not being reached, the chances are increase...

     

    There are many smart people playing this game... and coders... playing for 7 years... I am sure many have deducted the approximate algorithm...

    "And they ain't telling".... I wouldn't either... They giggling as they read this right now.....

     

    Peace...enjoy the game.... help others if u can....

    You can also lower the over fps to 30.... that is really all that is needed for EL... does help quite a bit..

    Can be reduced to 25 if necessary..

     

    I use on my small 11.5 laptop with PClinuxOS.. AMD 1.6 mhz dual core..turn off all shadows, poor man setting.. 25 fps..

    Is very playable...

    I gotten EFE at 11000 and some at less then 5000...

    Many have stated getting no ELE for 8000 and then 4 ELE in 5000 mixes..

    so there is a factor to be considered..

     

    The reason for the global factor... there has to be a balance to keep the market stable.. to keep people playing n happy.. also radu does sell the items..

    There has to be a rate of release of period... I have no idea what that maybe... a week, a month., two months.. or how the figure is assessed..

     

    Ok, lets say just for example 20 EFE per month and the quota is behind..so algorithm increases the rate... this would explain sudden higher rate people have at times, especially when many people are performing the same action.. harvesting or mixing... and also the dry periods when u get nothing even with a good astro..

     

    Just my observation... I am no expert at all... Did not make my living writing code... I have an understanding of the mechanics of it... I in my fifties... took some programming classes in the eighties... guess what language... for the geeks... "Fortran" haha....

     

    Eternal Lands is the only MMORPG I have ever played... I cant type well... And I suck at this.. but been playing for three years...

    I have skeptic... I notice the luck factor when harvesting... Sometimes many random events occur..

     

    I made adjustments due to my use of Harv Med... with skeptic I will remove the harvester med for 10 minutes and the cycle appears to change and I will use the Harv Med again.. when astro was in play, I would have to wait to the start of a new day to see any real change as not to destroy the Harv Med..

     

    The idea that Enriched, Special items, harv stones is set globally makes sense.. So the more people harvesting or mixing the chance of you creating a enriched or special item should increase....

    Alright... it may have given ur games a problem... but the point was does the computer stop crashing...???

    __________________________________________________________

     

    OK... I use to do the "got to have the latest driver" thing myself....

     

    anyway, I personally had a problem with random crashes and after 10 months of frustration and anger, discovered

    that it was the new and updated nvidia drivers..... aaaghhhh... the new driver broke the power management...

    every driver update the crashes got worse..... and never fix it...

     

    yep...now the laptop still uses two year old driver... runs great still..... plays all games....never, never crashes........................

     

    Good Luck .................... D

    laptop boards are very perculiar as to drivers.. especially nvidia, but also ati chipsets..

    have u had problems with any other games..

     

    the updates I checked.. there is not much game specific updates.. mostly Sli and 3D vision tweaks..

     

    You can uninstall the latest and reinstall the Lenovo drivers from website easily... And if there is no effect go back to the latest drivers..

     

    Thought that might help ... One important thing never let Microsoft update your drivers... Many, many people have had troubles with updates..

    Install from Nvidia website..

     

    Good Luck...

    Go to your laptop manufacturer and get the nvidia drivers they have for that model..

    The latest drivers from Nvidia can cause a problem at times especially with laptops..

     

    Make sure you have "New Selection" checked under troubleshoot tab in the settings.

    In the video tab "limit fps" set to 30 as that is all EL really needs..

    This will allow smoother game play under Win7.

     

    Good Luck, D

    I haved used Sir Odie's updates for several months now. No problems..

     

    Since u can not change the marker, this update actually makes the x thicker and more noticable on the maps.

     

    I personally use them just for the more visible marker myself.

    Alright, lets just clarify because it appears there has been some confusion.. About two weeks ago I had about 180k kgcs in storage and I forget how much in inventory. I decided to start getting in on invances and invasions. To prepare I decided to purchase good armor and NMT cape. I started selling rosto every couple of days. I finally got to over 300kgcs inventory from sales and with the 180kgcs sto would leave me give me enough to buy NMT cape. I go to sto to get the gcs and as I transfer, what only 18kgcs transfered.

     

    Now let me say this as I am in my fifties, I do question myself sometimes. HOLD ON, did I not have 180kgcs in there? Well I just asking for the Admin to check for me as to whether I have had 180kgcs in sto in the last few days.. I have not left portland sto since.

     

    Listen when u get older sometimes u mentally screw up?

     

    I was sure I had it in there but then again I am an old fart who just plays for fun...!!!

     

    I know u Admins are busy with the people who get sneaky and try to get over on the game, but if u could spare a few minutes I would be forever in ur debt...

    I was saving up for the NMT cape. I was sure I had 180k gcs in sto. When I went there to retrieve the gcs, some how it transfer just 18k gcs. I would just like someone to check the logs. Did I or did I not have 180k gcs in sto?

     

    I was portland sto. I have to admit could I have been mistaken, yes? So appreciate the checking for me. Could have sworn there was 180kgcs there for the last two weeks.

     

    char "Deckara" at portland sto

     

    Thanks, Deck
