Scheduled Maintenance April 2nd

I just clicked retry and it redownloaded the file it needed to. After it downloads that file, validate your files to make sure they are all there and when it finishes validating, it should work.

They already do, it's called a TEST SERVER

my game wont even run itself in 64 bit so i have no idea what these crashes are like, i have a 64 bi OS and processor, but its running the game in 32 bit still.....and the FPS seems lower than normal

A lot of good that seems to do. Seriously, they need some real Q&A testing. This **** is ridiculous and it happens all the time. SOE has some great employees, not gonna mock the devs, but they seriously fall short when it comes to making their freaken game work. What good is more content if I can't enjoy it?

Thats freaking awesome

Then get on the Test Server and help break the game, the reason why this **** doesn't get through, because they are not enough people trying to strain the programming. You argue that they need Q&A , well sadly their Q&A would have positive results because they do not have the varying factors of individual computer systems. That's why they made the test server. That way people get on it in mass numbers if try to overload the system in order to gain an idea of a benchmark.

Im sorry but your argument about falling short is where it falls short, in a limited environment (Dev based testing rooms and computer systems) is where you'll get a limited amount and biased amount of data in order to create the conclusion.

Your automated mission system sucks and is awful, you should feel awful. The fact that a squad leader and properly split his squads to different territories is just plain stupid. You should be able to see the count down timer for the point no matter where the mission is, and we don't need any additional clutter on our screen so please take the point icon away on the HUD. TL;DR 90% OF US HAVE PLAYED THE GAME FOR QUITE SOME TIME, WE DONT NEED TO BE BABY SAT BY THE SYSTEM!

They need to give us specific times and possibly an incentive to doing these mass tests then. Assuming hundreds upon hundreds of people will login to a server for a decent amount of time for no reward or schedule is kinda ridiculous when a lot of people have time constraints.

How can I tell if I am running the 64bit client? In the Task Manager it still says *32 after the PS2 executable. I do see various files in the game directory with "64" in them, but no executables.

I had no issues with the patch...the only persistent issues were the frame hitch...

i played 1hr 40minutes no crashes, no major FPS issues, no real lag issues, no major hit detection issues...

i will post a 64bit movie of the whole thing a bit later so devs/players can review...

Hi RadarX,

New Reavers look great!
Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but the new Reavers don't seem to display a decal anymore.

Still loading x86 version. Proof of x64 system.

Not so great. More importantly they trigger on every flip, which is very annoying.

Oh... I see some peeps saying that the game has reverted back to 32 bit.

Is that the case? I must admit that when I logged in for my passive certs this morning I noticed a small install but didn't check my processes.

Any chance of an official line from SOE?

Ah well... perhaps SOE will fix it and put the 64 bit client back. Not that I noticed any real difference. I didn't bother checking my FPS. Too busy killing people

I managed to get an hours worth of play last night before the game crashed. But when it did crash I just couldn't shut the game down. Alt+tab didn't work. Did a Ctrl+Alt+Del so I could bring up Task Manager and I couldn't stop the process there either. Ended up shutting down my lappy...

I kind of like the new VO for cp's, however, I do think there should be a user option to switch it off. I just played a big lab fight and it did get a little annoying as they went back and forth.

I think the new VO may halp newer and more casual players by reminding them that they are fighting over the cp, and not just shooting people for no reason.

I would also add more variety in what the announcer is saying, and be more specific. For example, he could say, "The enemy has taken control point A". More variety, means less tedium.

Btw, I'm still crashing about every 30 minutes (winxp). I hope to have Win7 installed soon so I hope that fixes it for me.

Was the black screen NVIDIA bug fixed yet?

I just logged into Ceres/Amerish a couple of minutes ago and whatever you did to the server or with that new hotfix, leave it at that. Don't touch anything - ever - again. Lag is completely gone. It's perfect.

im still have DC . Dont know what u doing with game. if you find fights 2x2 its a big luck .
GL with the game

Cross-posting a SOE update from another thread on the whole x64 thing;

SOE Raxxyl

Obviously they didnt stress test the 64bit client haha. Rolls back the next day what a joke
