Tao edit: Narvil of <Companions> > (2) Since I'm really opening up a dialogue here, any complaints of "you don't communicate enough" come across as "I will never be satisfied because I'm not happy with how communication was in the past". Let's look forward with optimism. I wanted to be sure to...

Narvil here, also of Companions. Echoing what Anvyl said basically. I think it's important to recognize that the tier system itself is somewhat limited. On one hand, it provides a basis for determining overall progress, but in another sense, it also gives some false impressions. In particular...

Were you zoning to Athica after you died, and that's where you hung? If so, this indeed might be helpful, though it will require some research as to what is happening in the client after ProcessGame.

If you end up getting dumped or have to kill the client, PLEASE go look in dbg.txt for anything that might be relevant. When it hangs, I kind of doubt anything will be there, but it's worth a shot.

For people who have crashes while zoning, can you immediately go look for a file called dbg.txt in your SOD installation folder after you crash, and see if there is anything about a disconnect in there? It looks like the client may capture some of these conditions, and want to see if anyone...

Interesting. Most of the strange issues I've experienced or know about anecdotally haven't involved anything significant showing up in the lag bar. I'm not a developer, so I can't say with any certainty what may be occurring, but I keep adding this information to a running list such that maybe I...

What problems are you seeing? Is the "lag meter" registering packet loss/latency problems, or is it some other symptom?

It seems to be the same phenomenon as zone crashing. I have theories as to why this might be occurring, but no real method of testing things out yet that I have figured out. What I CAN tell you, however, is that things like this do not appear to be governed by so-called "lag" (which is a...

Strange - I don't recall having this problem. I worked with 2 other people - one time I was actively on the quest, the second time I was finished.

Nod, agreed Tao. It's a complicated metric. Some fights are more about being smart and agile than anything. Some are endurance. Some are ability to resist nasty AEs. I'm not sure I want to venture into that mess. :)

Being in a group that was mentioned, all mid tiers have seemed to become more difficult. We were in a position to make a move directly into a higher tier. Now, we've got some challenges first, namely some additional gearing, keying and general improved stragery to be able to handle beefed-up...

One other question - do you crash immediately? Or do you sit zoning for X number of seconds before getting dumped? If so, what (roughly) is X?

Good to know folks. Any other input is helpful. Goldfolk: When you say crashed log-ins, do you mean going from server select to in-game? I presume so, just want to make sure.

For folks crashing... I'm looking into this as a player, simply because things like this interest me. One question I'd like to get a sense of: is there a pattern as to when/how often you crash? Most interesting to me would be "yeah it happens on nights/weekends when lots of ppl online" or...

Yeah what's interesting is it didn't seem too bad the first time till the end, the second time it was horrific.

If you get the starting splash screen (Accept/Decline), all should be in working order. One possibility is a firewall problem. After server select, the game changes gears and starts using other random UDP ports if I remember correctly how this works. If the traffic isn't making it back to your...

You downloaded the script uncleanly it looks like. Bunch of markup in it. I blame your browser. :) Might be easier just to c/p the content if it keeps sucking like that. The script isn't that long.

Wrong forum for this...but since I have direct experience here I thought I'd chime in. It's very doable. I did it in my early teens. Took about 2 hours or so, and yes it was hideously boring, but I got some other skills worked up at the same time (try fishing, for example). The game randomizer...

Spell Name: Relic: Cupola of Incineration Location: Sentence with Error: When cast, the message is "You are surrounded by a burning cupoula." Correction: Should be "cupola" NPC Name: Shaina Location: Erimal Sentence with Error: (for the 6th gemstone quest): "Our scouting reports have not been...

Yeah, github, like git in general, is full of fail. Just take the easy road out imo: > wget https://nodeload.github.com/fizzgig16/sod-installer/zip/master then... > unzip master Should work fine.
