Varlyndria: Ascension - Coming Summer 2013

[notknowing]

I haven't had any problems creating a character. I used underfoot as well. However I didn't use the patcher. I manually changed the spellfile, dbstr, and global load. You could maybe try that.

[Maze_EQ]

Did you spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam the create character button.

And drakiyth, what is your page file set as

[Greyn]

Every time I try to alt-tab to full screen and/or use the in-game option to toggle Full Screen the game crashes. What should I do about this?

That's a client problem, not specific to this server. Make sure you have the latest DirectX 9 installed. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=34429

There have been some problems, but honestly. Its a brand-new server with extreme customization. It sounds like they have found the source of the lag now.

I can't wait to see this completely ironed out.

Lag monster has been slain; infinite loops are never fun, and since the server is allocated 2 cores, you can imagine what happened when two zones were using half of the available CPU trying to figure out what kind of loot should be on NPCs.

Enjoy!

NOTE: this should fix the crash issues with spells too!

[Drakiyth]

Server is extremely stable now! Come play and have some fun!


UPDATE:

• MPR (Minions) and LPR (Lieutenants) have had their HP reduced.
• The Spell Damage and Healing for all NPCs has been reduced by 50%.


Enjoy guys.

I have been using a cut down version and which is missing some models. Also, using old player models and disabling other memory intensive options seems to work with the custom global load. I don't think it's feasible as a player to work out which entries aren't required (a subset of x models ^ n entries springs to mind).

I was hoping you'd have an idea of what wasn't in use.. if not I understand the lower priority!

New update out - www.varlyndria.com


Server stability is stellar now so come on in and have some fun with a lot of players who want to group up.

When you get the time try to figure out what models you really need global and then move the rest to the zone specific file.
I've been testing items/objects all day in a zone to check out the memory use and to see what items look like that I normally do not play around with.

Here is an example for erudsxing_assets.txt
When I am in my hub zone I use 600k and when I zone into Eruds Crossing I jump to 958.
I know you are busy with other stuff atm but keep this in mind. Its better to spread out the load when possible (for your players).

I'm sorry if this is obvious but I couldn't find it.

Is there a gate item?
