"I went into Insatiable Vault to get my jaw ... (I've been testing it everywhere I go to see if my findings are the same regardless of dungeon) First, a target would be selected, and slowly LT will cast at it, then will make a small "turn" to the right, then come back to center on the eater. Another spell will be cast, in the meantime, the toon is taking a beating. Then, the toon will turn around without killing the current target (and this is with blacklisting turned off) and begin to attack another eater, again with the small "turn" to the right, etc. No matter WHERE you have the sliders set for healing/stam/mana, they appear to be ignored as the laborious process of trying to kill something continues."


i've had that same problem on 2 of my 3 accounts. my main account works fine with ltx, infact it works almost perfect. but my 2nd and 3rd accounts does have a problem like mentioned above but only on the 110 eater dungeon, it runs perfect when im doing fiuns. i haent really tried any other places so i dont know if it works there also or not.


but yeah, thanks for taking the time on making us happy, para and c.

Just try to be patient. Crelic and Para will probably find a way to handle the queued spells problem.


LTX wants to have the next spell ready to transmit to the server as soon as the server can accept it without causing a COC spam problem. At the same time, there are major difference between connection speeds, depending on the type of connection, the time of day, the packet routing to the server, and the current load on the server.


And that's just one of several potential problems!!!!


No matter what they come up with, its probably going to be a compromise and a balancing act. Slow for some people and faster for others depending on their computer and connection.


Since this problem surfaced, I have used LTX several times at EO (with a High Speed cable connection) and managed to duplicate and observe the various problems indicated above. I think Para probably has a High Speed connection, while Crelic indicates he is stuck with a slower Dial Up connection at the moment. So Para can probably see a Queue problem that Crelic might not see. It's much easier to find the correct balance if you can directly observe the problem.


All in all -- its a tricky problem to solve and may take some time to find an acceptable solution.

I agree that it will take time but would be really nice to have version .2 back for those of us that didn't have a problem with it. version .4 is out for those that did have a problem. with both out everyone is happy and we dont have to be patient for them to do what they do best. everyone wins with that easy and quick fix till the new and improved version .5 comes out and more importantly I can stop pacing the house annoying my wife and go back to playing AC.

(not that I am incapable of playing without it. I just dont like to play without it enough not to bother)

My suspicion is the .02 version can still at the very least have the potential to impact the server performance if you are seeing the CoC boots or not. That is my understanding of the reason why .02 and earlier got kill bitted, not that it doesn't work, but that it could cause overall server issues.

I'm fairly sure Para already has an idea in head on how to alleviate the spell issues, which will probably tap on the vital issues as well as I believe they are related.


Also, .2 was turned off to see what impact it had on server performance issues (I think...). This also could be a very good explaination of why the CoC boots have decreased; not because you are using a version that slows the commands down, but because EVERYONE isn't slamming the server any longer.


Maybe..

lol, or because the ppl that used ltx are either using something else or taking a break till its fixed. less CoC boots either way


edit:besides from what I understood from turbines post was it was based on the individual account poll spamming not the server as a whole. if that was the case everyone would get the boot and not a few ppl here and there as well as ppl not using any apps that were able to recreate the boot whenever they wanted by doing whatever they were doing...so while it maybe the program it may also be how an individual had it set. I for one never got a boot after turbine adjusted there polling for ppl getting booted that were not using any apps. that fix fixed my booting problem completely as well as everyone in our clan that used ltx version .2

i just found a real simple quick fix on the problem i stated on my previous post. all i did was move up my stats bar high. i have my health on 70-75%, stamina around 80%, mana around 40% and critical is set as low as i can set it. also for critical lvl spells im using lvl 2. i set critical real low because from what i noticed, LTX spams when it needs to cast critical spells because it tries to cast that spell as fast as it can and setting critical to as low as you can will almost prevent LTX from tryng to cast asap and also im using lvl 2 because if ltx does get to a point where it will cast critical, lvl 2 can be casted right away with no mana therefore avoiding ltx from spamming the server. im also using the Turbo feature, that seemed to get rid of my problem with LTX tryng to look a lil to the right everytime it finishes casting a war spell.

Did anyone get booted for CoC when using .2 ????


Only time I get booted ever, is when I take certain portals (and maybe pressing buttons while in portalspace)


Not sure why you guys just didnt add an option to .2 /Slow Mode for ppl who where getting coc mouth.

A good many people were getting booted, with and without LT running. Disabling Turbo Mode ("Slow" mode) didn't seem to help much.

Like I said, we have a pretty good idea on how to solve it.. we just need to find a time when both of us aren't covered slap up.


Believe me, we're looking for that window.
