Ever since the patch has come out, I've probably crashed more than 20 times...needless to say I probably won't be playing very long if it continues to happen. It happens randomly and for no apparent reason.


130 Responses so far and counting on the "Official Bugs" Thread after 1 day isn't exactly a great patch release considering the amount of content that was "released"...I was optimistic before, but I should know better...what's a good estimate for what EA would let this game go for? 50 Mil?
Roughly I'm sure you guys do about 8-14ish Mil a year with low cost and barely a MAINTENANCE CREW...


Please let me manage this game so I can make 100 times what the idiots are making completely mismanaging this game...or completely neglecting is more accurate...call EA. Warhammer/DAoC is the last option to talk to a CSR because it is an after-thought and it shows.

Only when using my custom UI, apart from than no crashes.

yeah i've been crashing more and more lately, i'm not sure why.

I started crashing to desktop about a month ago, it wasn't very frequent back then though. I think it happened twice before 1.10 was put onto Pendragon. After that when I went to test out 1.10 on Pendragon, it crashed immediately, but didn't return very often on Pendragon. After that, still during 1.109 on live servers, I started to get quite a few crashes. Maybe an average of once every 6-10 hours of playtime or so. Yesterday since 1.10 was up I crashed 4 times. First time I pressed escape and hit the 'interface elements' button and crashed immediately. And then crashed 3 more times that night, once it happened when I was going to kill someone in literally less than a second, you can imagine how frustrating this can be. A highlander was running out of Dun Da Behn towards the tower when Hibs were gonna take it, he had 30% health left, I jumped off the wall as he wasn't even looking at me, hit /face and started to cast in midair. He was too close to have any hope of getting out of range and gaurunteed to die in 2 casts, and then I CTD.

There is however definitely a correlation between whats happening and when I crash. It usually happens during higher lag or when enemies get close. I was running a Bard one night and I crashed to desktop 3 times just before my group went into a fight. Don't know what to say about that, it doesn't make me want to say nice things...

So this, along with the fact that I played 6 hours last night and made about 3000 RPs running from Nged to Behn on a solo caster, repeatedly getting rolled over by a minimum of 2 Albs while spamming lfg, makes me pretty much ready to quit the game. But even these aren't the biggest problem, my main problem has been with going linkdead. But I have been noticing some other problems with my internet at time, so I think the LD rate might be partially on my side. But yes i'm curious to know if anyone else has had problems with the game crashing.

NOPE

In fact, it might even be easier to add a slash command in game that reports the number of characters on each realm and server.

No use of a cumstom UI yet.

No crashes, no LD, no black textures yet.

I'm sure it's my Ghost UI, but I've copied the option's and several of the other files from Atlantis to "fix" the problem and it obviously isn't working so I'll have to switch the UI I've been using for about a decade and for what? 10 more broken things for every MINOR addition to the game...besides the Epic stuff in the bgs might as well scrapped the whole patch and we'd be MUCH better off.

Guess everyone, including me, can understand your frustration BUT there are really nice changes for new people to be honest!
The quest-systems with the new hubs is really really nice and fast-forward into higher levels and/or RvR.
Complete sets, fast quests @ map, even tools like "summon vendor gem" or full respec stone you will get in mid-levels.
The game is just more than only lvl 24, 39, 49 and 50 AND there are many ppl just starting daoc and maybe will stay because of such a easy quest-system. (Yea, some old guys dont like such modern things, but without it, how else DAOC should acquire new players?)

You acquire and RETAIN which is the key word new players by regularly adding new meaningful content that is exciting / pve &&& PVP based. IE. comes out with new weapons / new dungeons / heaven forbid new classes / xpack / new places to rvr / make it where we can do home realm invasion and you can storm / overcome the guards at each realm. Incentive realm loyalty & classic zones over the bgs instead of making your game completely linear and bg based...but who am I? I don't run shit....YET...


Also advertising and releasing an Origin's server / SI/Cata Etc. Classic Server / & Original Ruleset new slate servers. THAT is how you get and retain players...word of mouth / advertising / new content & going out and getting it....hustle baby...that's how people blow up and succeed.

i'm using the in game UI too, mainly cuz i'm on a laptop and the screen is too small for most of the UI's i've tried, they take up way more space for some reason.
