Technical Issues with update

Salathe · Post by **Salathe** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 8:53 pm

I have been having major movement problems.

In one case i was constantly forced to move south.

In another, i was about to enter the workshop, and right before i stepped in, everyone else moved the opposite direction, then i was stuck in place. This has happened to me twice (both right before entering buidlings)

I had similar problems, it seemed once like one of the arrow keys was activated without being pressed, and then several times, it happened with shift.

i have had similar problem but i can already use it to my advantage. for me i keep moving in one direction when i am moving that way, then click on another window, let go of key, click back to illarion you will still be going in whatever direction it is. could use this to type and walk i think. to stop just hit the "downed" key

edit: tried this with shift, same thing

When i craft... after the object appears in my belt, the auto craft stops. But works fine once i start to continue

Not sure if this is intended or not

That bug happend to me already a few times. Even with the old client. If this happend you can't do anything bug logging out.

Dunno why it happens. To me it happens most time when leaving a building.

Nah if you fiddle with the arrow keys a bit and do some trickery you wont have to log out but it tkaes skill and practice this has happened to me like 20 times already.

In the shop today, an elf saw an elfess topless, while i saw her with silversteel. There was a small ooc talk about it and it was dismissed.

Also... i often see people as "someone" but they later turn into "Man/Woman/Elf/Elfess etc..." is this a bug?

Yes I got the problem too, it seems if you look at them, turn your char in their direction or stay near them you get the elf/gnom..whatever quicker.

I got an another problem thougth my mouse moves extremly slow inside the client, using it is harder and even pulling Items around is hard.

Did you find any offensive NPCs around? Monsters or so?

Yeah the arrow key problem was happening to me constantly as well, though I had thought it was due to me having programs open at the same time.

Also the clicks sometimes don't 'work', which is a problem when choosing a spell.

As nothing was changed in the client's handling of keys, the arrow key problems could be related to the new version of the graphics library which also handles the input.

I have never observed this. Please give some more information that might help to pinpoint the problem. E.g. is it related to certain machines?

Well, about the arrow keys;

If you hold an arrow key (lets say, up arrow key) your character will walk north right? Now if you keep holding the arrow key and alt + tab to another window, the client thinks you're still pressing the key, so your character will keep walking northwards even though you're on another window. Now when you come back to Illarion and make it your active window, the client notices that you're not hitting the up arrow anymore and makes your character stop (unless you press another arrow key, obviously.) This is actually a "useful" bug for some. (with slow computers =p)

Since the update though, you can still do that, but when you come back to the Illarion window and make it your active window, your character will still go northward, it won't stop and the client won't notice that you're not hitting the key anymore. This can be a bit annoying, but all you have to do is press the up arrow once more then your character will stop. Or whichever other arrow your character is going in the direction of.

Yeah that always pissed me off on the tc, which was the only reason I didn't use that on gs. It's not that bad though, I suppose, and it allows walktalking and walkcasting level 0 spells

is there any reason i shoulndt be able to make an axe... i never get past 80% i waisted 12 cotters and never got a fail message.. another person tried and has same problem even with different axe seems tied to the same bug that stops you after you start a work..just an observation..

Edit: thanks peoples!! im the proud papa of two baby orc axe's!

I'm going to have my Order of the Stick moment and say that the further people are, the less you see them wear. So, if you wanna see the elfess you've always had hots for naked, stay away from her!
Weeee! Naked distance orgies!

sorry guys another crafting problem as arisen.. cant make poisen arrows it say im missing time "bottle" i tried every empty bottle and yellow bottle i had mark is having the same problem..

another odd thing happens when i make saws.. but there is a lil work around for it..

if you handle is the in the first belt spot you fail every time when making saw.. always try to put handles and other items below first spot leaving the first belt spot empty..

The most annoying thing IMO is the client sometimes completely freezes up now, not even the mouse graphic moves.

I guess you're aware of it already.
