Remember to fix these things for U9:

How about fixing Protection from Evil on items (like trinket of silver flame) so that it actually works... i know this is about 3 years old and ignored, but thought I'd add it anyway.

Perhaps a little touch up to the Lich Form eyes please?

It's not a major complaint, and isn't gonna make or break my playing experience, but it is a minor annoyance to not be able to take certain screenshots in Lich form because they look like sunglasses at the best angle for the pic.

...and installation-age dependent....

No. I run in Linux and my son runs in Mac both under Wine. I can simulate win 2k or xp, 32 bit either way - and the Linux box is 32 bit, Mac 64 - until Update 7 or 8 (I think 8), we ran flawlessly for months.... toward the end of which - if this whole fragmentation red herring were true - we shoulda started getting the crashes. We did not

As _soon_ (please note - these are underlines, and are being used to perhaps show something that is relatively significant to the reader) as the update hit (the first night after install... again, this is sorta, like, important), we started this odd behavior ONLY after muling a couple characters and continuing without quitting and restarting the client.

I physically "destroyed" the "windows" machines under which we were running (also known as creating a new "prefix" under Wine; and reinstalled from the U8P1 binaries I had re-downloaded. There's no way they would instantaneously be fragmented unless the install routine did it. No difference - it still crashed if we forgot to restart client after a mule.

This prefix recreation also requires me to reinstall all vcruntimes, .net packs, mshtml, etc; so those are as up to date as we could get downloaded from MSFT.

We've set minimal graphics settings, maximum, and everything in between. The audio driver stuff is also not the cause, because - again - reinstalling those has no effect.

Nothing works to alleviate these except user behavior modification - we no longer relog to a character after starting to use another... We exit, restart, and choose who we want to play. Until we forget on occasion

This is not a user issue - it is a game issue.

lag...

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.

This... it has been happening to me since the last patch, and i bought my laptop in january.. (asus g73 rog edition).


Also since the last patch when i start the client an error box pops up and says "XmlException, the root element is missing" Here are the actual details:

System.Xml.XmlException: The root element is missing.
at System.Xml.XmlTextReader.Read()
at System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader.ReadWithCollectText Token()
at System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader.Read()
at System.Xml.XmlLoader.Load(XmlDocument doc, XmlReader reader, Boolean preserveWhitespace)
at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(XmlReader reader)
at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(String filename)
at com.turbine.launcher.UserControls.PrereqInstallCon trol.GetReqSoftwareFileList()

I'd really like to see the **** ladder bug fixed, and anthem working on stormsinger cloak..

Nonsense. Game worked fine on much much worse cpu many years ago.

They updated things and broke it along the way. It went from perfectly stable one update to broken the next.

Yup. Just got another blue screen. Logged in, went from Harbor to the Shmugglers, then to boat, then tried to enter Smugglers and BAM! Blue Screen and reboot.
I just hate it.
And it's hard to believe it's about resources as 2500K and 16Gig Ram plus 570 is on a higher end of the scale. My other PC with 5850, 8Gig RAM and E8400 just reboots without a blue screen.
Sometimes I just loose interest to play because of this and I think it started with DX 10 support. I filled bug reports like 2 or 3 times but nobody cares.
They were asking me about my firewall. It made me speechless...

I noticed it was with DX10 as well, just turning it off doesn't help though, however when running in compatibility mode it disables it completely.

Does the blue screen stay long enough for you to get the error message? If so what is it next time it happens.
The PC that just reboots, how big is the power supply in it?

[Phemt81]

Yup. Just got another blue screen.

Blue Screen Of Death? First provider is dust.

Open the case and check it for dust, eventually, clean it.

Also, your firewall could be the reason, but 90% of times is just dust. And if not, it could be that one random driver created a conflict with another random driver, and finding what drivers are responsible is a pain.

You could check for driver updates in order to avoid that phase...

Hope this can help you someway

After the U9 emergency fix, I started getting blue screens and that is the same time where the lines of the medusa keeps on playing after logging in or logging off. After U9 patch 1, the problem worsen.

The error is on DDO client itself, reinstalling the client only fix the error for a few days. Having DX9 selected instead of DX10/11 gives no improvement.

All other high graphics games at full max settings never produced a blue screen. What ever is causing the blue screen is inside the U9emergency fix and inside the U9 patch 1. I have no problem playing games like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_(video_game) which demand more resources.

It is something the dev needs to look at on the client.

I am experiencing some weird similar problem recently (after update 9.1):

While i was playing my pc decided to go hibernating himself (no button pressed, not using battery), so i restarted him but he gone to hibernation again as soon as account page displayed. I had to select turn off, then restarted.

After this bug i decided to turn off hibernation mode, so i deleted the stored data and turned off energy saving options related to that.

Guess what? Pc has decided to just turn off after that.

I happpened three times since update 9.1. When i restarted my computer the first time system said that it was arrested by a blue screen, but i didn't see that happening. Yeah sometimes vista is crazy.
