dzarren Player	Plz put the old client back this one is terrible, if i alt tab to another game i end up wit an white screen. If i open event viewer i end up whith an white screen and the only thing i can do is end the client. overall my computer feels laggy with this new client.

GMPathy GameMaster	Until a patch lands there is no way to tell the issues that will arise for different players. I have also got issues with ALT/TAB, I shall make sure someone is aware and can investigate. I have not noticed any other drop in performance since this patch, although my time in game has not been significant as yet.

catnips Player	it would seem it has something to do with a change in resoultion, any change and some computers get a white screen and it can not recover from this. With every patch the lag gets worse, a few more patches the game will be unplayable for the best of machines at this rate. I think its time to start going backwards, at least untill someone can figure this out. So many things we could go back to that would actuly improve the game IMHO old combat old way nodes worked and number of nodes being able to go under water, the skin on top of the water DID NOT improve fall threw no idea how much of this would help the lag but christ it sure as heck couldnt hurt it none well as always we look forward to the patch to fix the patch that fixed the patch that fixed the patch oh heck you get the idea

Bill Developer	I recommend deleting the data/shaders/Generated folder before loading the client, this might help. I haven’t done much testing of the new patch myself, however. Update : ALT + TAB seems to be broken, so windowed mode is probably a good idea. This reply was modified 583 days ago by Bill.

dzarren Player	Ok did clean install removed the directory still the same. Opening taskmanger just gives you white screen and no other way to solve it then to close it also windowed gives problems when running other apps/games, you get an windowed white screen :( This reply was modified 583 days ago by dzarren.

dzarren Player	Any news on fixing this ? If have to choose between npc’s running on their spot or ending up with an unusuable white screen, i would choose the npc’s running on their spot. PLZ put the old client back or fix the new one. Any communication would also be appreciated

Wiz Developer	Been notified of this issue. I’ll try to get it fixed as fast as possible.

Tzimovo Player	Well, I started to download the game again on 17th Oct around 20:00, the download was done 94-95% about 2 hours ago (18th Oct 20:00), then a message popped up that a new version was released and the patcher closed. Upon restart of the patcher I get a message that the patcher “fails to obtain update status”. The ultra slow download speed is due to my shabby hotel internet connection, but that the patcher can’t patch itself anymore is definitely a bug. So I tried to run the game with the self_patcher.exe and voila I can log in…. To a game with pitch black houses, no ground textures, grey clouds in the sky AND I can not move. So I proceeded to try the self_repair.exe. The log went like this: Starting to download Dawntide.exe Failed to download Dawntide.exe Ah did I mention that I redownloaded the PhysX installer from NVidia because the one in the repair folder just showed a window saying N with a ball on top and “Text”… After running that installer I at least saw my toon TRY to move. Of course he was not moving but his legs moved around like the reall thing. Any ideas how I can fix these problems? Edit: At least the Antivirus did NOT cry murder this time. So there is at least one improvement! Cheers, Tzi This reply was modified 582 days ago by Tzimovo.

catnips Player	As Tzimovo decribed have had a number of people decribe same thing as they try and log in. Not being able to move but legs moving graphics fubar We also have a number of people that where on everyday before patch that have not been on sence. one computer of mine has to use SKIP PATCH to log in one logs in normal one will not log in no matter what I know I know the OS has nothing to do with it lol but it sure looks that way again Also resolution seems to be a key factor as well, have fun with this one guys

dzarren Player	Yeah i logged in yesterday and left because it was so quiet and cant play my other games. Plz revert to the old WORKING client and take youre time to solve the problems on this one. Really i am not bothered that the NPC’s ran at their spot, more bothered that the little community we had going is gone :(

dzarren Player	After the smal patch of yesterday my problems with alt-tab are solved, thx very much. I noticed that i was having huge lag bursts with the client i updated but not with the not updated one, not sure its client related because the other char in on an different island. If have time tonight i wil test with the other char. But maybe someone else can give some feedback on this, the lagging char was on starter island in the forests north of starter town.
