Yeah, it sounded like a great idea, but thinking about the macroing possibilities makes me say: ditch the pickpocket-idea !!!

I suggest for the Thieve/Steal skill (I'd call it pickpocket) to have a skill ladder like this: at level 0 only being able to steal gc at level 1 also bones at level 2 raw meat at level 3 fur etc. Also the more levelled up you become, lesser probability of getting noticed/caught by the person that you're stealing from. To protect Noobs: no pickpocketing on IP !!! (maybe make a new entry in the poll for possible everywhere, except on IP)

ok, I see on the Nvidia siet a lot of different drivers. What do I need? The one called "Games, Utilities and Tools"?

Well. They aren't at the graveyard anymore, but there's still a bunch when you walk a bit south !!! :glare:

So now that IP is snow-less, fur coats hats and gloves are useless??

A related question: an answer I see a lot on this forum is "get the lastest card drivers". What are those and where can I get them ????

Well, Entropy said in your link: "Unzip in the el folder (if you don't know how, don't try it, wait for the update)" Well, I don't know how !!!

I completely agree. It seems like the rabbits get faster everyday!!!! They are hard to catch up to. You walk in their direction and before you can click on the sword-button, they change direction and you have to go after them again !!!!

After playing the game for an hour or an hour and a half I get the Packet Overrun message as well. After that I have to turn my computer off, because I can't close Windows anymore. Maybe this can be of help: my errorlog entry.

Hi all, I joined up to the forum because I am having problems entering the new version: I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo-P PC with pentium 4 processor, just 2 month old. Login goes well. The blue bar starts loading. Then: the screen goes blank!! After trying several times, I decided to deactivate my Norton antivirus and login again. It worked and I could play. Problem: I don't like to have my computer online to the internet without my antivirus activated !!! Any hints how to solve this?? Btw, when I look into my error-log I get this stuff: Error: Can't open file "./textures/fontv.bmp" No Anim: ./animations/player_slash1.caf No Anim: ./animations/canine_pain.caf No Anim: ./animations/canine_idlel.caf Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle5.bmp" Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle6.bmp" Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle7.bmp" Any ideas what that means ?

Yeah well, the Norton came with the computer when I bought it. The license expires 28.10.2005. So I have to buy a new one. What antivirus do you suggest ?

Well, it worked fine before this weekend's update, so I assume the problem lies within the game. NOT in the antivirus !!

I kinda solved the problem. I deactivate Norton, enter the game and when I'm in I activate it again. It would be nice to solve this problem, because it's not very inviting for new players that want to try this game !! I amended the animations according to intructions in another thread: here Tnx for the help!

I was thinking about something like this as well, but would call it Negociating instead of Haggling !!

Buenas, espero veros en el juego. Por cierto, ¿es que nadie usa el canal de chat Español?

Try deactivating your antivirus when logging in. It worked for me. Once you're in the game you can activate it again and the game keeps running.

I have the same problems as you guys. But I believe it's possible to enter the game when you deactivate your (Norton) antivirus. Once you're inside, you can activate it again. It worked for me yesterday! I will try it again now that I made the changes written above ! EDIT: it works without the Nortan activated! My errorlog now only says this: No Anim: ./animations/canine_idlel.caf Error: Can't open file "quest.log" The Canine_idlel thing is new The quest.log might be because i named it quest_log before. will try changing it.

OK, but I'd like to know how to solve them in ealy words. I've seen some threads where the answer is too complicated for me. I don't know anything about programming. I said blank. Like a white screen. But today I tried again and I got the window with the green text: welcome to Eternal Lands, etc. That's when my computer got stuck. I hit Start button and nothing happened. I hit Ctr+Alt+Del and it said that Eternal Lands doesn't respond. When I try to close it it doesn't do anything. I get a message from Microsoft asking if I want to send an error report!!! Yes. It worked yesterday. Only fault I had then was that the numlock side of the keyboard and the special keys (like @ and #) didn't work. I tried to solve that following some instructions from another topic on this board, but that requiers playing in full screen mode. You say I should use windowed mode. So what should I do???
