Client 170 release, I need some testers

[Entropy]

This is only for people who are good with computers and can follow some simple instructions.

Instructions:

1. In your My Documents directory, rename the Eternal Lands folder to something else.

2. Close the client.

3. Delete your Eternal Lands directory from wherever you installed it (make sure to back up anything you don't want to lose)

4. Download the new client from http://www.eternal-lands.com/el_170_install.exe

5. Install it.

6. Run it, and make sure there are no issues.

7. Post the results here (positive or negative).

P.S. Some maps will be out of sync with the main server, so don't report map related issues.

Installed...

Loads quicker than the old client

Running okay, 35-40 fps (slightly lower then old client)

1 issue: it crashes when i change resolutions. Changing resolution through el.ini works.

No problems. FPS 40-70

 

Looking Great, Good job!

[Seleceus]

No problems with the install.

 

I did experience a crash when switching to Full Screen, within the client, but editing the ini worked fine.

 

Missing water effects initially, but restarting the client seemed to clear this up.

 

UVP is now reporting 0, on screen, instead of the 1 I had with earlier client.

If UVP is 0, check your settings, and/or update the drivers.

[Seleceus]

Found the Settings. UVP seems to be good now.

 

Added the Sound and Music folders, everything is running fine.

[The_Piper]

Running fine under WINE, UVP 1, FPS up to 50.

1. In your My Documents directory, rename the Eternal Lands folder to something else.

Will this be true of the final release also? That is, will people need to manually recover their chat logs, map-mark files, screen captures, etc. from the renamed directory (repeated for each server sub-directory of course)?

[tiny1]

All seems to be fine here, faster than before even

[luthien]

It works very well for me, nice job done!

I'll keep on using it tonight and post any problem i might have.

[Link]

Works well enough, no problems.

 

Start up time is a bit faster, seems to be no change in fps

[Zipher]

as others said crashes while switching to full screen

UVP:1

FPS: 40-70

P4-3GHz

2 GIG ram

8600GT 1 GIG (nice card )

[XaRondas]

No problems so far

fps not capped 60-230

Yea, ok, thanks for clearing that up.

 

Well I'll figure it out. Hope others can too.

[Maxine]

Just a heads up, since it probably is not 'served' up right: Knowledge list doesn't display newest engineering (arrows and such) knowledge properly with ctrl+k or #know. Last 'read' item is invasionmeter according to the list.

[Entropy]

Ok, that's a server issue, will be fixed on the test server tomorrow or so.

[LabRat]

Bugs:

 

On the Options/Sky&Cam page, Quadratic Decel. the number overlaps the window inner border

Snapiness on the same page - Snapiness should read Snappiness

 

Overall:

150-350FPS depending on the map with all the pretty features enabled

 

Loading is fast, but would those on high consider gzipping the files that can be gzipped to decrease the load times even more? We know the system works.

 

No crashes so far, system is very responsive.

 

System:

Windows XP, Nvidia Geforce 6600 512MB VRAM running on forceware 175.16, 2 GB DDR2 RAM on PCI express x16, Q6600 quad core Pentium @2.4GHz

 

Can we please have a copy of icon.bmp so we can have an icon?

gl_init.c:414

SDL_WM_SetIcon(SDL_LoadBMP("icon.bmp"), NULL);

[Alberich]

no problems

but windows still shows version 1.5, update your elc_private.rc

Yes, it works, but the download size will become significantly bigger if we do that (like 10mb bigger).

On imac when I selct actor animation to get UVP1 my character has dark areas on. Also NPC looks all brown. Is there a special thing I need to do to use UVP1?

[Llynara]

Works great, but noticed that if you climb ladder to EVTR exit in WV, and are in first person viewpoint, EL crashes. Tried this several times from regular view, then first person (alt f) and it only crashes if you climb ladder (either up or down) in first person viewpoint. Haven't used this viewpoint much yet, but will try map changes, etc to see if it happens then as well. Am headed to bed for the night (very tired here) but will try some more tomorrow.

PS. I have a 7600 NVidia with latest drivers. Everything looks awesome in game, this if first problem I've encountered.

Just tested that a bit, i also get crashes when changing maps in FP mode.
