GondorB - I <3 You


agnari - It doesn't work perfect on every other Nvidia card. I had someone with a Series 5 message me a few days ago having similar yet different problems I was unable to solve right away. I play on drivers 10 releases OLD. Because the newer drivers prove to be "problematic" when combined with Asheron's Call. I have graphic glitches, texture failure and rendering bugs in my Series 6. My problems are NOTHING compared the the people with Series 8 and now Series 9. I don't talk about my problems because while mildly annoying they aren't game breaking. The Series 8/9 Bug is game breaking.

The simple fact is you refuse to accept is that Turbine is determined to ignore this problem. Its the players fault for owning a card we never said we didn't support.

Its Nvidia's fault for releasing drivers that broke it, oh wait every driver that supported Series 8 shows the bug.


Would you suggest that Nvidia recall every 8 and 9 series card so they can be modified to accept and process Turbines bugged code? Or Nvidia break the law and attempt to reverse engineer the AC code to find whats broken and then hand Turbine the fix?


You keep beating the dead horse of I am being mean to Turbine and its a hardware problem, yet you haven't lifted 1 finger to make it better or to do more than offer lip service of well yell at Nvidia. Get me a name of someone at Nvidia I can talk to on behalf of every screwed AC player. Let me have THEM approach Turbine about fixing the problem. And then when Turbine flips them off to maybe just maybe you might accept that I was always after the right company.


Until then keep ranting about how I am the devil. I tried to steal a live event, I complain that Turbine sucks, I point out the flaws in Turbines system. But heres the funny... I still have 2 accounts and I try to play every day. I still freemarket sell beers and shrooms when I am on. I have left hunting to come make some arrows or a PDI or dye someones armor, all for a ty come again and sometimes a donation.


I'm polarizing I get it. What I can't get is the attacks of I'm the devil when I've done more research, testing, theorizing than Turbines even willing to hint at. And yes I will use the fact I am disliked to draw more attention to the fact that Turbine will not say word 1 just to spite me. Cause keeping me ranting and annoyed is definitely the proper way to keep your game going, rather than 1 post of... we are sorry this is happening, we are looking into it still.


So until your ready to offer more than "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" your not worth the effort.

I want to address 1 last thing...


"casue without the card manufactor's code turbine can't fix it."


You mean the code that all Turbine has to do is ask for?

Nvidia will not give code to regular people, but I am sure they publish spec that are given to game manufacturers if they ask. Do you think they didn't get this for DDO or LOTRO? I've not checked but I am willing to bet the fan base for those games and the license holders would have beat Turbine senseless if they had this type of error.

Asherons Call is a old game with very few people playing it, I dont think Turbine has lots of people working on fixing small bugs and such nowdays.

I did reactivate my 2 accounts few days ago(after about 5,5 years)and I find the game very enjoable,tho I miss the crowded areas like in Ayan and some other places.

What surprices me is why they dont merge servers since there seem to be very few people online at any time and the game world is huge,larger than all 3 continents in Vanguard merged.

For me this game is the best mmog ever and I would like it to live on.

But I dont think it has very long time left,it feels like there are like 1-10 people loged on as most.

I can live with this flicker bug:-)

The flicker bug is annoying, but that being said, I do wish it would get fixed.


As for the servers merging, they have stated that to do that would be almost impossible. You would have the issue of some people having the same name (who would get priority), plus theres the housing issues, suppose the villa you have on FF has been yours since housing became available, would it still be yours if FF merged with HG? Or would you be sharing villas? Or would you be screwed??

Name is not a big problem that has been dunn in other games, the first named character keeps his/her name,others will have to find new names for their. For the housing, I cant see why they would not not be able to move those, for example if there are 3 villas on one server there would be 15 after merge( depends on how many servers would be nerged)should not be a problem.

Right, but what if you on FF had the standalone beach villa and you got moved to say, HG where I own it (I dont but still), so you get screwed out of having a unique item on a server. Kinda think thinks would go downhill for ALL the players rather quick.


Besides, on SC, we call things differently then they do on other servers (least I've heard), chat could be confusing for a while, rofl

> "To say that the problem is Nvdia's since AC works fine with older Nvidia cards is asinine. It is AC that hasn't adapted to new technology, new technology should not be hindered by AC."


> i would have to disagree with this, it is the manufacturer that is responsible to make its product backward compatible to "old tech" that is still currently used. or make it plainly stated on the packaging of its product that it would not be compatible with "old tech".
