Title: Ogre Death
Post by: Beryl on May 30, 2009, 01:45:12 PM
Took the portal to Trinsic, BLAMMO, client crash, can only assume there's an ogre camping me there. Can anyone assist? (come kill it so I can log in?).

Managed to log in long enough to see "An Ogre" before I crashed so that's definitely the issue.

Managed to get in long enough to hit the moongate and get away, so nevermind :)

I take it this is a problem only for those who have Vista?   Was this the  moongate in Magincia, or the public moongate that takes you outside Trinsic?   I'm sure we can alter the ogre spawn around public moongate locations.

True only for Vista, though I know of 4 other players on the shard who have it (and thus, this problem).

This was the public moongate from Magincia to Trinsic, which places you south of the town.

I appreciate your thoughts about removing the spawn from the moongate, but I wonder how much better it is that I crash 50 feet from the moongate rather than at it. :(

Im wondering if we can alter the Ogre spawn altogether.....until we can fix it in the script. Just a though...


Its a coalition     Vista users against  the use of OGRES....

OGRES ARE PEOPLE TOO!! STOP PERSECUTING THEM!!
THEY'RE ONLY TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIVES!

>_>
<_<

...I should test and see if they crash me as well. O_o

Its not just ogres, but its also DEAD ogres  :o

Last time we went to Dr. Deth, where the dead ogre is - I gated to Zerroff and he continually crashed (he runs a Vista system).

So, we can take care of live ogres by killin em, but what shall we do with the ones that are already dead? Dr. Deth seems to sympathise with us too, but apparently doesn't like to atone or clean up after hes done with experiments...

Well, what I'd have to do is get the Staffers, to go around and turn off any ogre spawn.   What about Ogre Lords... do they cause the crashing?
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Abbadon on May 31, 2009, 01:19:52 AM
Lol not sure, you'd have to get a guinea pig... I mean a Vista user to run around and find out :)

I'm now in a crash loop halfway between Britain (on the road going NE from britain) and the swamp.

Must be ogreish there :(
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Beryl on May 31, 2009, 02:06:33 AM
And.... now I'm back up. When I got back on this time, I didn't see any ogres, (didn't stay to look around either).

Can someone who is testing the new beta client verify that the hotpatched beta client on vista does the same please?
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Abbadon on May 31, 2009, 11:47:47 AM
I think Zerroffs using that beta on Vista and also crashes on ogres, but you'll have to talk to him directly in order to confirm
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Beryl on May 31, 2009, 02:16:04 PM
I guess I can test it, though testing "in the wild" means almost certain death with uncertain possibility or corpse retrieval.

So make a new char, dress him up in nothing special.

Post by: Beryl on May 31, 2009, 07:38:44 PM
The GMs have confirmed Ogre Lords crash vista user as well.

BTW, I'm in a crash loop just south of the trinsic moongate currently.

...and now i'm out. btw, I always try to log back in 5-6 times before I post here.

Staff is working,, YAY Myrick... to remove Ogres and Ogre Lords from the spawners. We will be replacing them with other fun creatures.  Just be patient, because this will take a bit of time to get it all done.   In the mean time, feel free to send Bill a little note thanking him for all the wonders that is VISTA>
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Beryl on May 31, 2009, 08:56:56 PM
I'd rather send a note to the Staff thanking them for all their hard work on this issue. Thanks!  ;D
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Admin Acacia on May 31, 2009, 10:05:58 PM
Myrick has been working his little spawner changing fingers to the bone changing things around.  If any of you players out there in the world come across an ogre, or ogre lord... dead or a live, please let staff know the [where that you found it.
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Abbadon on May 31, 2009, 11:40:59 PM
Lol, straight from holiday to work, work :D

Yay for Myrick! No rest for the weary!

Setting the stage: I mentioned an Ogre spawn near the orc cave to a GM earlier today and he said he'd go fix it. This isn't about that one.

I went to the orc cave and was nosing around there and crashed.

Tried to log in a couple of times and crashed, then got in. When I got in, I was standing over a corpse that said "Ogre Corpse" and it was a Black Widow Spider corpse (or something similar).

So, there's still a spawn near the Orc cave that is causing crashes, but the corpse issue is better :)

In Tokuno. Due west of the Fan Dancer Dojo, going NW, follow the mountainside until it ends and there's a little hut there. That's where Woede is stuck in a crash loop, just like the ogre crash loop.

Are there Ogres there?

and if someone could swing by and kill whatever's there, I'd be quite grateful :)

Im trying to clear the area now  found a dead ogre corpse   but you are still  crashing

Can you please be a bit more specific with [where coordinates, there are ettins all over Despise.
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Abbadon on June 05, 2009, 07:26:48 AM
From what I saw, Despise looked pretty ogre-free to me. Feenix and I also went on a small "free-the-world-from-ogres" crusade today eliminating certain sasquatches and ogre lords  ;D

Sharla was doing treasure maps and some ogre lords spawned.  I think it was a level 3. 
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Myrick on June 05, 2009, 03:51:27 PM
That spawn is hard coded and can't be changed without scripter working on it. So vista users beware of t-maps.
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: Abbadon on June 05, 2009, 04:05:01 PM
Lol, people should probably only do level 6 maps, since its actually much better just to hand in the level 1-5 maps to GMs for a cash reinbursement :)
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: creampuff on June 06, 2009, 06:05:05 PM
I crashed near the handmaidens and ice elemental in Trinny fel.

NVM Feenix fixed this one
Title: Re: Ogre Death
Post by: GM Feenix on June 06, 2009, 06:12:08 PM
It was yet another Ogre Corpse    if anyone sees any of these please let us know... Anything graphically to do with ogres will crash vista users  instantly...


THANKS STAFF
