Crash!


Almost every time with many different rigs so I know it's not OS/hardware specific.


Everyone in game seems to know about the problem, not much descussion here or the decal forums though..

are you trying to imply something?


If so, you're incorrect. Decal doesn't do anything special or specific for ELTank or LifeTank. Those plugins are treated no differently than any other plugins within Decal.


If not, then I don't know what the connection might be other than possibly account or character related, or perhaps many of your machines have similar enough hardware to cause problems (such as a lack of Video Memory).

none of the above...


I am not implying anything..


Various hardware plenty of system/video memory, freshly installed OS'es and again many I speak with in game confirm it...

If you want help, you should post an export.

I dont really want help..


My exports are normal it's simply buggy...


I am an IT specialist and would know if something was setup wrong.


It just crashes due to certain plugins and alpha decal.


Look at the decal forums and search, you will see specific reports on it with no abnormal exports but also no follow up or work around.

without an export, how are we to even LOOK at possible issues?


edit:

and contrary to popular belief, we actually do look at those threads, and attempt to figure out what's wrong. In many cases, we don't speak because we have nothing to say... doesn't mean we don't try to look for an answer (or in some cases continue looking).


many times we have to look at a lot of people experiencing the same issues and compare stats. Eventually we find similiarities and can track down problems that way.. without the export, we don't have anything to go on other than you saying it doesn't work, and claiming that you're an IT professional so you know more about how this stuff works than we do.


If you want us to do anything about your potential issues, we need information to study.

I am just saying take my word for it...


I'll post some exports and crash bugs from the event viewer for you but I am pretty sure it's a bug either decal or plugin specific and it's happening with all my friends online. It's just not really being reported..

if it's not reported and backed up with statistical data or troubleshooting information we can use, then how are we supposed to fix it? or even know to fix it?


If you think it's a decal or plugin problem, then we need to track down exactly what the problem is so we can fix it. That's why Decal is in Alpha.. so we can find these things and take care of them and move onto Beta.

Also, if you are to imply something wrong with the plugins themselves... and I'll be honest, I don't care if you're Bill Gates. If you're here to ask for help or ask if someone else has had this issue, please post something other than something only backed up by ignorance or rumors. If there truely was a widespread problem, believe me, it'd be on the boards and every developer involved would have a slew of emails... neither of which are apparent here.


Please, as everyone else has asked... if you are having issues, please at the very least post an export. It's possible you may have quickly overlooked something that may have a known bug that could be pinpointed... for all we know, you may be running Win98 on all of your "rigs".


Thanks =)

98?


lol...


btw.. There are about 12 machines in this house....


All of which I play AC on and the problem exists on all of them..


You never crash while logging in and out? (sometimes it takes a 4 or 5 log in/out's..)


Again... I'll post some exports dont get your self in a tizzy..


Maybe I'm wrong in which case that's good news as then somehow there is a solution.
