Galahadh Report post Posted December 20, 2003 It takes a few seconds for me to switch cursor type, so I'm either using goblins, opening skeletons, picking up doorways or attacking vials... on occasions it can become quite irritating with crowded hunting spots such as the titanium mines and the gold mines. This problem occurs on all three computers that I have. It slows down game play (not fps loss or "lagg" but actual speed that I preform tasks at) a lot and can even be fatal when trying to flee from gargoyles when making trips to desert pines from isla prima. This is the only complaint I have about EL itself, other than that its a great game (which is getting progressively better) with a great community. It would just be a lot of help if we were offered an alternate download or patch of the el.exe that doesn't have this problem. I don't want to come across as whining but it does get frustrating at times to have to wait sometimes up to five seconds between actions, even more so in combat.

jjk Report post Posted December 20, 2003 Very well put (laughed so hard i was told to go outside) I support that idea. The new cursor type is VERY anoying. Another thing is to use the OPEN/DROP selection on a bag you have to put the crusor a few pixels BELOW what you want to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galahadh Report post Posted December 21, 2003 Some others had a similar complaint and retired from combat and other things to focus on a repetative task to keep them busy until they adjust to it or it changes, I heard that it was originally done to increase game performance but I've only noticed a loss. (Or maybe it was just frustration from the cursor :-p) No help? ;.; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 21, 2003 Umm... I'll try to do some stuff, to read it more often at low frame rates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galahadh Report post Posted December 21, 2003 Thanks, for the moment I'm using the beta proveded here http://caop2.pytong.com/~eternal/el_000_920.zip without any patches or anything like that, just the file itself. I get no crashes, decent FPS, but its a bit jerky, still better than the slow mouse read or whatever it was with the patched version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 21, 2003 You really should get the patch from the download page... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galahadh Report post Posted December 21, 2003 I use it when hunting so I don't get the cursor problem, otherwise hunting is just very frustrating and I wind up quitting because it isn't fun any more :-p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 22, 2003 Like I said, this will be fixed, in the update, which will be tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
