New client patch!

[EvilEd]

first time ive gotten through an invasion without a crash since the update. so far so good with the patch

[Vanyel]

I don't know if it is related, but with new client I cannot use F2 to catch all links:/

Could you explain the problem in more detail please. Do the links show up in the URL window (CTRL+F2)? Have you configured your browser properly? Go to options->misc and make sure your browser setting is correct.

 

Before I started using the patched client all worked fine. After it I see links in URL window, but pressing F2 doesn't work. I've checked the configuration and reconfigurated it to firefox again. Also, checked my firewall as it might have been the source of problem - it wasn't. Right now, pressed F2 does nothing.

Can you open URLs by clicking on then in the URL window? Do you get any error messages in the error_log.txt file?

The only URL related change since the 1.50 release was for Linux and, because of conditional compile, does not effect the windows version.

I crashed once last night doing nothing but walking around SRM, sound and eye candy were disabled.

 

Crashed again 2 times last night doing same exact thing, walking around SRM, no eye candy, no sound. I was on for many hours yesterday and had no other issues.

Where were you in SRM. Was it raining? Was it on a map change (or entering/leaving a building). Had you changed screen resolution or toggled full screen that session? Were you fighting or could you see others fighting? Any extra information might help.

I am running Windows Vista. I don't know if it's my config, but the el_patch executable always asks for the Windows admin password before executing, and runs with another config folder (the one from the admin account) than my normal one. The unpatched el executable (in same folder, has same permissions etc) has no such behaviour.

[Jen_Marie38]

seems to work fine. only thing is that some trees appear white, not to sure if this is for xmas tho.

 

Next time it happens, screenshots pls.

 

Hi! here's a screenshot, with my video card stats and all.

 

OS - WinXP

Video card: GeForce 7100 GS/PCI/SSE2

Vendor ID: NVIDIA Corporation

OpenGL Version: 2.0.3

Forceware version - 93.81

 

 

does it have something to do with my vid card?

I think you will have to ask Bill about that, I have absolutely no idea why it is happening.

[Llywar]

Any chance of getting this as a versioned release (preferably tagged in cvs)? I'm now maintaining this in gentoo and right now I'm still pointing to the original 1.5.0 release since there is nothing else that is newer yet versioned (I'm not sure that you would want lots of users running live cvs clients in production, and it would probably be a support nightmare in any case).

Just change the name of the exe and remove the word 'patch' in it. All files that have the name of 'install', 'patch' and some other words in it need admin rights to run.

What! That's absurd! Is that part of the so called improved security in vista? I'll crawl back under my Linux loving windows free rock now...

Yes lol, it's real. I didn't believe it myself first when I saw this on some blog I visited while google'ing for some other problems. And vista users can see it easily: Name the file 'patch' and you will see the windows shield (or w/e it is), rename it to EL and the shield will dissapear

Problem with textures running full screen:

(Click to full size)

 

It's only an example.

[Entropy]

Are you 100% sure you are running the patch, and not el.exe?

[Mordenkainen]

Yep, i'm running the patch, renamed to el.exe, but it's the patch (2,17 MB, right? Other exe is 2,16 MB)

 

It only happens when i'm playing full screen. Do you need my #glinfo?

[Entropy]

Yes, please.

Well, this is still work in progress, and I don't think it would be a good idea to tag it yet. There are still quite a few bugs left.

Crashed again 2 times last night doing same exact thing, walking around SRM, no eye candy, no sound. I was on for many hours yesterday and had no other issues.

Where were you in SRM. Was it raining? Was it on a map change (or entering/leaving a building). Had you changed screen resolution or toggled full screen that session? Were you fighting or could you see others fighting? Any extra information might help.

 

Not raining, not entering or leaving a building. No change of screen resolution or toggling screen size. All three crashes I was outside, first time in the vicinity of the old cotton field, and the other two in the vicinity of the front of storage. I may not have actually been moving at time of 2 of the crashes but was rotating the camera view around to look what was around me. There was another player standing next to me during all three crashes.

 

Also, don't know if any of the following matter but the only other things I remember that all crashes had in common were the following:

1) I was wearing higher level armor then I normally do - was trying on friend's full steel plate 1st and other 2 times was wearing newly acquired full iron plate. (First time since playing game that I had such high level stuff on for more then a few minutes.)

2) All crashes happened approximately the same time of day on two seperate nights - around midnight EST (East Coast USA).

That did it. Sorry about that. Lol what a great way of enforcing admin-rights executables in Vista !!

[Kelnor]

I still have some crashes when i turn the sound/music on... I almost died to a cyc

[bluap]

Is that with sound & music installed and working (apart from crashes)?

[Kelnor]

Yes, music and sound are installed and playing until it eventually crashes

[bluap]

Not raining, not entering or leaving a building.....

Thanks for the extra details...

Does the crash only happen while fighting?

[Kelnor]

Yes at the moment; before the patch i had crashes when fighting, walking, harvesting... but now just when fighting

Are you casting any spells during the fights? Do you have eye candy on? Does it make a difference if you turn eye candy off?
