Network Changes!!

Test has been updated with probable fixes to Chat and Social issues.

Was all excited to test these changes, then i ran into renton keep, lagged, then crashed to desktop.

I crashed to desktop within 15 seconds all 4 times I logged into Renton Keep as well.

I am in Renton Keep right now without any issues can one of you post the last 20 lines of your vgclient.txt file in your bin/logs directory?

Cool thanks hobs! Will copy this week.
Lookin forward for. Some network changes

I wasn't expecting this to be on the Test server until May, so I haven't been checking back. I copied my 2 characters and will test tonight.

Well i've just been to Test-Servers aswell and could play 2 of my 3 chars alright. Just the main Character showed some problems:

First i had to rename it, because it said that MY name was taken already!!

And as he was copied over in RK chunk, i couldn't even move him, because the game ended itself within seconds after login. I've added the last lines of my logfile- as requested earlier. GL in fixing this ...

not sure what the problem is, but i'm still getting the flight bug when crossing chunks.

We are still looking into the Renton Keep issue. For those crashing, what are your graphics settings?

Which flight issue? Not being able to get your mount to fly? Or something else?

flight issue is being dismounted when entering chunks. is particularly common going to POTA (strand of the ancients) or COB chunk

is this only happening on Test?

Happens all over on the live server. Sometimes dismounting, sometimes godwalking(no mount but running around at full flight speed) and sometimes still on the mount and flying but at half speed.

iamme

yep. iamme pretty much summed it up. the two most common ones are flying from the SoD chunk to the forgotten battlefield chunk and flying from skrillen point to the pota chunk.

its as if the game grounds your character and doesn't notice that you're in the air when crossinh chunks.

Yeah but this has been an issue on Live server FOREVER. Bottom line is flight is working on test as it is on live. This is a bug independent of the network layer change. The Initial problem with flying mounts not working on the test server has been resolved.

My graphics settings are on highest performance possible.

Id like to let everyone know that we had no lag on alagan with 22 people, and killed tharidin with 21 people without a hitch.

Yeah when the server pop is low it happens. We have never killed him before 8pm PST neither because too many people are online.

I do love how you included the amount of people that you killed that mob with. I am such a fan of humble brags. So Ill close out with one myself.

When we first killed Tharridon back in November, 2012 the lag was hardly a bother even with the numbers influx. So not sure what happened between now and then. Take a look for yourself. The video is old now (November, 2012) but you can get the idea.

Test updated with chat fix. Also, please check out Renton Keep for those who were crashing around there.

Like we also said on test, the dev/gm summon function is pretty bugged. It summons you then wipes your entire ui of any stats and values. i made a screeny ill post later

Several custom ui mods no longer work either in general like the marking tool, and connection monitor has lost the fps value.

Custom UI mods may need to be updated. Check your UIErrors log and tell me if you see anything. I made some optimizations to the UI parser that significantly helped zoning.

Also, the network FPS was removed as it wasn't relevant. If you want, I can add your client FPS to the tooltip.

Does a /reloadui fix the stat issue after a summons?
