ok after been on servers for two minutes, ive already client crashed three times, once going from sharkhead to cap, then once i loaded in again i managed to get from cap to tailor, and once i clicked on tailor i got an instant crash log.

Logged in again and clicked tailor, again client crash. Another craptacularly tested update?

I'd /bug all your bugs. I just logged on and everything is working at intended for me.

i tested another two times to be sure, definately crashing everytime.

I asked in broadcast in cap if anyone was having same issue and a lot of people said there getting crashs with it too. The costume selection half loads up, then before your costumes are displayed you get a crash report box.

You would have thought with the extra testing time, something so obvious would have been checked since there were tailor changes with tails being added. Im guessing this is whats causing it since nothing else should have been changed.

Very frustrated because animated tails was the only thing in i17 that actually interests me in the slighest since i have a crappy laptop and cant run ultra mode anyway. Instead i get more lag when logging in, and a handful of client crashes in under 10 minutes.

Not impressed, this is why they have a test server.

Can we have a working i17 now please? ^^

How did you answer the "Use Ultra Mode or..." dialog at log-in? Maybe you need to check out your graphics selections. I'm recommending to my friends to cancel out of that and experiment with the new graphics a little at a time.

Mind posting the specifics of your rig? The reason your crashing might be something we can help you with. Or if it is a bug it might be something we can help the Devs track down.

I experienced this in test and bugged it. I was hoping it was more to do with the test server or something.

Can you tell us what your specs are?
I'm curious if it has anything to do with the graphics card and some sort of compatibility issue.
Standard suggestion... check and see if you have the latest updated drivers.

I'm on an ATI Radeon 3850HD AGP and was very pleased (And surprised) with being able to handle Ultra Mode with settings beyond what I had hoped... But I experienced crashing on Test... I'm hoping that I won't on live...


Best of luck!! :/

I dont have ultra mode active, im on a crap laptop so i kept my settings the same.

However after standing in the tailor in cap on freedumb for 10 minutes, it seems a lot of people are crashing out, i was having fun watching them click the tailor they having the logout timer appear lol.

I've got this problem too, but it's not just the tailor screen. It's related to the costume window. Also, the contact listings do it too, or at least did on test. I haven't checked them on live yet since I'm having too much fun crashing my client with Shadow settings and opening the costume window.

For reference:
Win 7 64-bit
Nvidia gtx260 w/197.45 drivers
lots of other stuff that doesn't matter in the slightest

Side note: I can open the costume window and tailor ONCE. The second time it crashes.

ok i got a screenie, little use it is but i get to the exact same part everytime... lol. Im on a nvidea geforce4 mx420. Old card, but it worked before i17 so theres no reason it shouldnt work now.


 

Posted

Ok im sure whats causing the issue, since i can make a new charecter fine and get to costume creation.

It points to the actual costume selection screen since thats where the crash is happening and since I can edit tails and stuff in new charecters. Hope it gets sorted fast

That is exactly what's happening to me too, 'cept that the entire box pops up before freezing on me.

You're kidding right? There was a MAJOR graphics update as part of Issue 17. You may have heard of it, Ultra Mode? That's the VERY reason it doesn't work now.

It's caused unexpected problems with low end video cards and integrated cards that the Devs have been trying to find a solid resolution for. There's even a stickied post about it here in the Technical Support and Bugs forum.

Make sure Windows is up to date fully on all Security and Recommended updates. Make sure that you have the most current video card drivers installed for your card. Start the game in Safe Mode by putting a check mark in the Safe Mode box before clicking I accept. I'd recommend only changing the resolution once you get into the game and leave all of the other settings at minimum.

Since you've given no information about your system other than the model of the video card, it's difficult to try to troubleshoot your problems, so at this point I'd recommend contacting the technical support department as advised in theOcho's post I linked to above.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I'm having the same problem. If I open the costume screen, I instantly crash.

You people with the costume bug, can you also make new charecters?

I tried making a demon summoning charecter and when i get to name entry i crash too Im guessing its down to the profile picture there also using a display of your costume, similar to tailors bug, bug I need more people to confirm this.

Very annoyed with this, why have a test server if your going to release something worse on live? Even more annoying is I have no way to re reserve the name I was going to use for my demon summoner now since i cant make any new charecters at all :/

Its the costum windows nothing wrong with your comp or anything , same story for contacts. (but those did load for me quite fast and stayed loaded)

But the costumes wont stick , and are bugged beyond believe . parts are missing or get reverted to other parts , without options to color it .

Seems was reported in closed beta and open beta but not fixed .

Is your graphic settings on minimum try to log in with safe mode , its maybe not as pretty from there on upgrade slightly till you can do what your normally can do .
So forget envoirmental details put it on low , and if you laptop can handle it try to get character on high/medium . so atleast it makes you happy .
Sure the walls and envoirement looks a bit crappy , but its the toons that makes you happy .

Tried it with every graphics setting, also tried it on two pcs now and getting same result. Safe mode doesnt work, checked drivers for 3d card, reinstalled the entire game from scratch, tried /reloadgfx and /unloadgfx tried /disable2d and /whiteparticles still no luck. Basically I gather its a graphical issue and anything involving seeing charecter costumes wont display, hence I cant make new charecters, cant edit charecters or anything.

Luckily my sg leader said he would reserve my name for me... I just hope I get it back since its a great one for demon summoning :/

Its sad but its not often bugs that are reported in test are actually fixed nowadays, no matter how gamebreaking they are :/

Theres not a point to having a test server if your going to ignore all the bugs and publish to live anyway. Rushing crappy prepared updates just annoys everyone anyway it would have been much better to keep it for a couple of days and actually release a version that works...

Good news guys, I have confirmation this is a known bug and is currently being worked on as we speak.

As for an ETA, I'm not sure. The engineers are looking at it as we speak. You're doing this for the tailor crash and the demon summoning character crash?

I would be highly surprised if they weren't working on it. Test -> Live is never smooth. It never has been. Whatever work is done on test, you can guarentee that there will be some little detail or technical glitch or coding hitch that will through a monkey wrench in the face of a lot of people.

This, and the zomg it's broken! posts around the place, are no different from every. Single. Issue. that has been released as long as I can remember.

Fact: You can't please everyone

Very true techbot, but it doesnt change the fact a majority of these bugs shouldnt have made it to live anyway.
A lot of these are reported in beta in test server but blatently ignored then fixed on live. It happened that way with every issue ive been in game for so far and it just creates more annoyed players than its worth.
Crash reports from test need to take priority before a new issue is released and this clearly isnt being done which is why you get all the 'ZoMG its still broken!!' posts, good examples are the BM/WW bugs right now, which were on test, this tailor bug was reported on test apparently as well and im sure there are others.

As long as its been sorted il wait for a fix but having so many gamebreaking bugs everytime a new issue launchs is just a bad rep for the game on a whole.

Also a lot of my sg members have said they are taking a few days off because they are waiting for the bug fixes, this surely goes to prove that players wont stick around for a shiny if it doesnt work

I meant to post this the other night...
After updating my graphics card drivers, the crashing completely stopped for me.

I wasn't just crashing at the tailor though.
It was with almost every zone load and then even just crashes out of no where. Pretty frequently.
I went and installed the 10.4 ATI drivers for my card and didn't crash again.
I was running on the 9.12 drivers before updating them after I17's launch.

So, maybe that will solve some other people's crashing problems.

Best of luck!
