Massive bugs after update? list em here

[kernal42]

I don't know why but since I downloaded the U9 patch my game frequently just stops. Before U9 it did sometimes but that was when everybodyelse complained about massive lags so I didn't bother much. But today, it got very annoying and persistent.

I can't move, jump, take any action except typing and it is similar to being close to a DC. But my connectivity is still good the connection icon is not shown like from changing from yellow to red.

Does any1 else have this problem? It is kinda annoying to logout and relog every 60 min or so.

Additionally I didn't find anything weird going on on my PC but since I am not that into PC-technology I sure might not be able to detect a flaw on the machine.
I play the game on ultra high graphics and changed to very high but it still continued to happen.

I did have this problem, reinstalling the client completely fixed it for me and for at least 1 other person.

Probably the DDO program/data files are fragmented. Try defragmenting the hard drive on which they are installed (by default C).

There's an additional, older bug which is seen by a memory leak upon swapping toons. If you swap toons too many times you eventually cause the client to eat up too much memory and crash. Very annoying.

From the thread title, I thought Thri-kreen has been implemented. Imagine my disappointment...

@kernal42
Defrag cannot be the problem because I did/do it frequently and did it 2 days ago. But well, maybe it just needs an everyday procedure.

Thanks for information. Client crashes by swapping toons too many times is annoying as well as those friggin crashes when zoning into the desert. geez it seems I have all the technical problems which can ever occur.

When using the crafting hall, if you close any other primary window (inventory, character sheet, social panel, etc), the crafting window closes with it, and you have to redo any selections (such as level, school of crafting, etc). I'm not talking about hitting Escape here, just hitting 'C' twice to open and close the character sheet will close the crafting window.

Yes, this is very annoying. I bug reported it, too. Crafting is time consuming and boring, and I like to keep the LFM panel open while I'm doing it so I can watch for any interesting groups to join. But then sometimes I close the LFM panel to get into a different ingredient bag, or just out of habit, and it's annoying that the crafting windows close too.

Casting extended haste in a public area, on my 20 wiz, a couple of times, I got a 12 second haste and not the expected 4 minute one.

[samthedagger]

I logged in yesterday just to fiddle with crafting. After I logged in I ran up to the entrance to the crafting hall, then realized I needed to put in a load of laundry. I put in said laundry and come back to find my computer had rebooted. I was gone all of five minutes. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it might be related to U9 stability. So add me in to those who have experienced a hard crash.

Another bug:
The effect of Ice Storm, in some cases, bugs out and lasts indefinitely.

This ^^

Running Ritual Sacrifice last night one of the enemy cast I believe Ice Storm on us. Two of our party members took damage and continued to take damage through multiple resz's and even a shrine. Logging out and back in did seam to remove the effect.

Well, here's one I found yesterday....

I didn't see this on the known issues, so I'm not sure if this is a known issue. I justed used Roderic's Wand and had no summons appear. I did have a shield symbol appear. So I used the wand again while looking at my inventory and noticed that the charges on the Mantle of the Worldshaper disappeared as I used the wand. Removing the Mantle, the wand works fine. Just a heads up in case this wasn't known to others.

And yes, I did make a bug ticket out.

[Shenay]

I personally casted resist energy as a 19th level sorc and gave anywhere from 15 to 45 resist to people...that's right...15 to 45 according to the character sheet. Whether a display bug or not we could not tell.

If you are a savant that is just like it is now. You cast 45 on your chosen element, 15 on the opposite and 30 on the other 2.

I've been seeing some crazy bugs since the update.

1) my Wail of the Banshee cooldown is stupid long.
2) my vorpals arent working

fix this.

/sarcasm off


1) ive been hearing handwraps are killing the to-hit bonus of stuff, i dunno cuz im not a monk atm. just relating info

Yeah, the to-hit wasn't working on crafted wraps and this latest update was suppose to fix it. I'm not sure if the crafted wraps got fixed since I haven't crafted any, but all my randomly generated wraps and named wraps don't have the to-hit applying. And it is something that the Devs are "looking into."

[Rapthorn]

I consider myself lucky if I make it into any explorer area without my game crashing.

Have also noticed monsters vanishing upon what I hope is death because I'm also not seeing the damage I've dealt to kill it either. Just poof! lol

[hermespan]

650+ ms ping times. Started yesterday. I am grouped with people and I swing at stuff, nothing registers and I see the mob die. Typical major lag.

Before yesterday my ping was never above 80-150ms. Not great to begin with but hella better than 780ms, which was the worst I saw yesterday the few times I checked it.

I've seen a lot of what other posters are seeing. It's the result of the horrible ping times... It's like shroud x 200

WAI. WotB was nerfed. Get used to it

[Dirac]

I've noticed some graphical errors, ie. water reflections are shown backwards, directly behind the character.
And object and landscape outlines when viewed in front of water surfaces, show strange effects, and also antialiasing forms white outlines around characters when viewed in front of water surfaces.

I can second this. The house D teleporter had an odd graphical error and unusable.

[MrWizard]

well, that is not what happened.

I cast fire once it came up as 20....second time it went to 30...back to back casting.

I cast resist cold...I am a cold sorc...and I got 15....15....cast it a second time and then it went to 45. I am supposed to have 15 anyway..not sure how it can stack to 45...but still, it took two casts of resist energy, for both types, to get over 20....that is wrong.

seems like the savant thing is messing with this...and apparently a lot of other spells too (as the guy who got a 12 second haste instead of his extended 4 minute haste in town, previous post)

there is something buggy going on....


the savant says -3 levels to fire spells for me...not 20 resist...I am 19th level, 3 levels should mean nothing to that since 11 is where 30 resist comes in.

[Krag]

My Warchanter II lost his Greatsword proficiency.
The proficiency is still visible on his his enhancements tab, but does not actually apply to the weapon.

[Gamedog]

Game hard locks up when I am using the bank in the Marketplace. Every other bank works fine..... tested. Also tested with every character I have (6). Server Argo. Always have to ctrl+alt+delete so I can end process.

Once again, the bank in the market place..... doesn't matter which bank teller either.

[Habreno]

Triple Water would mean a CL 10 for Fire, so a 20 resist would be where you are at. 3X -3 CL is 9 levels, 19-9=10

Do you mean you can run in place but can't move, jump, etc?


I have had that happen to me occasionally in the past couple of months. The fix that worked for me(suggested by a guildie) is tumbling. Restarting the client does it too, but before you do that try to tumble, has worked for me the past 2 times, and for another guy in party that got stuck couple weeks ago.
