Remember to fix these things for U9:

[Glenalth]

Try this. Swap characters +/- 5 times. Without shutting down the client. And then try to walk out into sands expl area..

Depends on the computer. My own is aging a bit and has no issues with that crash. Two of my friends systems, one a bit nicer and one brand new, have the occasional crash there. I know others that crash almost every time they zone in to the desert. There is something more to it than just running out of resources.

Now there are some weird momentary hangs I get after swapping characters and list redraws (like looking at character sheet or feat list). Seems to be compounded when there is UMD involved.

now i know

And knowing is half the battle! G.I. Joe!!!

(I just had a major flashback.)

[Myrddinman]

And knowing is half the battle! G.I. Joe!!!

I thought they said "Go Joe" at the end. Great, now I have to do some research

[Antheal]

Second one is probably not bug...
It is probably falut of your computer -> also had problems with crashes in GH (next common crashing location is Sands). As probably these locations are more requireing in resources.

(Zone-change-crash never happened on my laptop)

I've been playing DDO since free-to-play, and this had never happened until the last update, which I why I'm more suspicious of it being a bug introduced in the last update, instead of my computer suddenly developing a problem at the exact same time as the last update was released.

Nope, you're right!

But I will say this...I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that he says he set their house on fire, or when he said "now let's go back to my place"

[Zorth]

It is just subtracting 2 from my saves when I equip my Green steal Bracers which currenty has lightning 30 and acid 5. I have a plus 5 save from my DT armor and when I equip the bracers it gives me plus 3 to saves overall. It is subtracting 2 and this should not happen.

Fix how a character can lose the ability to interact with stuff after you shield block with 2 weapons. (Thank you Mr. Helpful - I already know that switching weapons will allow me to interact with stuff again. This problem shouldn’t exist in the first place.)

[Astraghal]

And please fix Lesser reincarnating stealing your draconic vitality, would be nice if the victims of this could get it back some how without TRing too.

Can anyone else confirm that Draconic Vitality is lost upon LR'ing?

I have never heard of this before.

[edgarallanpoe]

I am also getting the crash now that I have the new update. Everything was perfect before the update. Now, when switching between zones I get the BSOD every so often.

I'll reinstall the MS .net

Thanks for the tip.

[Ovrad]

Oh and don't forget: fix the planescaller and the lv 80 airship missing it's hooks.

Simply crashing on running out of resources is indeed a bug. The proper behavior is an error message.

Furthermore, there's something very wrong if my computer, with 4 gigs of RAM, is sometimes running out of resources minutes into playing.

Its not a bug if it isnt the applications fault. There are quite a few admin style issues running 32 bit apps on a 64 bit system where the OS can allocate to new memory but will not release old no longer in use memory.

32 bit apps are capped by the OS at 2gb of ram use per app. There is a way around this, but you have to trip a flag in the OS for all dynamic link libraries in the installation to ignore the 2gb cap. I dont advise this unless you are EXTREMELY good at resource management, knowing what each item on your system is going to run at, etc.

Try this. Swap characters +/- 5 times. Without shutting down the client. And then try to walk out into sands expl area..

Was doing that -> during bloodstone runs (around 1 month ago) -> and nothing happened.
On the other hand I have to say I don't use HI res textures...

And I just pointing it don't occur for everyone, so it is highly probable it is individual problems of machies that you play with. Maybe I am just lucky enought to get good copmuter specifics. And at least for me there for sure are more imortant, and EASIER bugs/things that can be repaired -> everything works, but for some comp specific it causes memory lackage -> they can look for this over year and don't find why (and when they can repair it, it cause other comp spec to get trouble).

[Sarisa]

An LR done in u8p1 did NOT make my bard lose her Draconic Vitality.

As for the zone and switching crashes, it's computer dependent and installation-age dependent. My home PC was able to do 2 switches/3 characters safely, any more and I would have a zone crash entering the Sands or Orchard. Now, due to the added DAT file fragmentation, I can only do 1 switch/2 characters safely. Any more will trigger the crash. It's an old 32-bit only XP machine running at rather low graphics quality.

My work PC, when I get on during lunch breaks, is running 32-bit Vista. The university didn't switch to 64-bit Vista because of several "issues" with legacy software. Even though it's a newer machine, a single switch would trigger a crash even from the initial install. I run in mid-grade graphics quality settings.

We need a defragmentation tool, badly. Load times are getting astronomically long with each patch. It's far more network friendly to both Turbine and the players to have a defrag run during a patch than to have to reinstall from scratch.

[cdbd3rd]

Hmmm...I couldn't find anything on Google about it, other than the thread about the need for change where Dev: Gensai said that it should be an easy fix. There was mention of the inner bubble disappearing, but I haven't been on my PM in a week or so to check. Besides if that was the change, it's totally not the way the thread was leaning

Was still just as irritating last night - especially when parked near a tavern crowd.



Meanwhile, on topic....

Fix Our Horc Laugh!!!

[Illarvan]

Try this. Swap characters +/- 5 times. Without shutting down the client. And then try to walk out into sands expl area..

To fix the lag from swopping characters, equiping scrolls, madstone shield, lots of zoning, etc..

On Vista and Windows 7: (I havnt found anyone with lag this bad on XP)
1) Go to where the game is installed, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Turbine\DDO Unlimited
2) Right click on 'dndclient.exe' (application) and press properties
3) Go to the compatibility tab
4) Check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Windows XP (Service Pack 3) - Or "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" on Vista.
5) Press OK.

This has fixed it for everyone who has tried it. (You will however loose DX10/11)

If you get the error Message "The game client was passed invalid command-line parameters.[205]"
You need to run "dndlauncher.exe" not "dndclient.exe"

To fix other sources of lag such as in the subterrane, ritual sacrifice etc..

When in the game go to:
1) Options
2) Adv Graphics
3) Scroll down to "Environment Stencil Shadows"
4) Untick the box
5) Close

Job done

Hope this helps some of the people out there.

the ladder bug, have been here since day one. if you walk to a ladder and try to just use it sometimes there will be a bug wich will not let you climp the ladder. so you have to jump onto the ladder,

Spell singer songs (that gives SP back ) dont work on WF.

The new epic ring from CC have +6 dex and +7 dex. and looses the +4 protection when upgraded. not sure if last is intended but no other of the items looses some of the bonuses when upgraded.

on bold trinket the stacking seeker is not stacking.

Cheers Deltabravo

[OLDTIMEDD]

Off original topic but goes with the freeze up on zoning in. I have had issuse of freezing while standing still in a public area. It has also been the reason for it taking 5 attempts to get my first GS item upgraded at the alter of invasion..

here is the sequence of event-- get back to alter from end fight start moving ingredients get one step done dc-- client is totally locked up -0-no keyboard commands work ie have to reboot system. Even happened when I garnered a ship invite from a guild that has all 3 alters.. finally got it done thanks to another player staying in group and in quest while I was haveing this problem otherwise group dropped/notr in quest relog and I am outside quest unable to finish what I started.

As far as I can tell/remember this might have started after the update but really don't recall exactly. Hopefully I will have another helpful person when try ing for 2nd tier

sorry about the wall of text

[broolthebeast]

Anthem property on Stormsinger cloak does not properly regen bard songs

[Chris79]

Fix the buff bar so we can see our buffs pls

[sephiroth1084]

Bard song bugs on WF. Bard songs overwriting each other. Would love to see a fix in U9 so I can take my poor abandoned WF bard out of retirement!

And the similar bug for Pale Masters.
