Problem - New Client Version - Ninja Patch :(

[shazbork]

Apparently there's a ninja patch with a new client version. Super Sadface day for me. Had two groups offline 'cooling down' while I was afk for the day. Of those remaining online, those that died and crashed when zoning get hosed now. Hopefully this patch addresses the crashing issues though. Can't even use instance macros for AFK farming because of how often clients crash on zoning.

EDIT: The threshold for what qualifies as an "Epic" post is pretty low, I say.

I must be lucky. I haven't noticed any crashing at all in open zones or instances. No problems to report zoning either.

Hope they resolve it though.

Are you sure the Client wasn't just patched maybe ? if so you could probably still be able to play with the older EQgame.exe , atleast that what happened during the weekend on test.
That is if you get ahold of a older client and don't use the launcher. (Can't confirm though since i don't play live)

the eq crashing thing seems to be resolved with the new client

EDIT:
I guess its DBG(Phew), my bad

It wouldn't let me in just now without running the patcher.

UGH

How dare you judge what is and what isn't EPIC!

Newbie here... so.. newbie question

First time experiencing a patch.

what's an average time frame for something like this?

*cringe*

 

[shazbork]

soon. any time a patch hits and a new client version is pushed they typically get a new compile out by that night. It's a great time to go over your configurations and do some tedious crap like gear people up and make sure you spend merc AAs and shit like that. I obviously still have things I need to work on if I'm manually spending merc AAs. might as well take the opportunity to hit the ground running once a new compile is released.

 

[cosyg]

soon.

Well "soon." is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick..

anything a little more "timely" ?

 

[tms]

anything a little more "timely" ?

no

Yah. When it's done, it'll be released. It's usually "soon".

 

[cosyg]

I guess i kinda had that coming...

 

[shazbork]

Yep

Vox server is now being forced to take the new client. After the Vox reset, an hour or so ago: Disco after server select, before char select. No apparent change to the login server requirement. All other servers seem to be able to get in with the old eqgame.exe

YUP, and it sucks.

[shazbork]

someone post the old eqgame for those of us that got fucked by our own retardation!

EDIT: Nevermind, are they cycling servers and forcing people to take the new patch?

 

[cosyg]

yup, old eqgame.exe not work

 

[riot]

Works on Povar so far and I havent seen a notice yet for a server restart either.

 

[Noobhaxor]

old eqgame.exe will not work... disconnect at char select. Don't waste your time.

 

[MaxD]

old client still works on fv my cleric just went LD and I was able to log back in

 

[Tonguelash]

new version is out on mothership so should be fairly soon I'd imagine.

 

[MacEQ]

New compile is up. I am in game with it.
