[Lorimez Shadowblade]

King of Homeowners? :touch:

/bow

P.S. Apparently its a law that you can't insult the Queen whilst on English soil. however, you can stand on a box and do so!

 

[sp4nky]

yes im geting this aswell ...

 

[- English -]

any official news about this?

 

[sp4nky]

Nope not yet, and they have not even posted that the servers are open...

 

[Lorimez Shadowblade]

I'm leaving it until tomorrow.

I really hope that GoA don't expect us (Those that are not confident with computer systems / files) to do something to our machines without a basic step by step guide. Imo the patch notes for 1.88 make fook all sense!

Best of luck fellas

I have the same problem on my vista, besides all characters base texture in the character selection view are purple. Ie where there aren't any other overlay texture.

 

[VegetaFH1]

guys guys... this might not even be vista related or graphics card related

this might be just one file that was put in the patcher when it was released or something silly like that

Post up ur system specs, and we can deduced from that if it is O/S related or anything (and post ur O/S ofc, otherwise we cant deduced crap)

System specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M57sli-S4 (updated bios)
CPU: AMD AM2 athlon64X2 6600+ (duel core)
Memory: OCZ Special ops edition x2 sticks of 2gig DDR2 PC2 7200 (not O/C)
Videocard: x2 Power of View Nvidia Geforce8 8800GTX (not O/C)
O/S: Windows Vista x64 Home Premium edition

This is what it basicly looks like when crashing on my machine

4 images... sorry for not downsizing them, but they need to be fully sized for u to see it properly
The Blushing Virus (nicknamed for obvious reasons)

Norvindus, there is overlay textures, otherwise my druid face woodnt be darker then the others.. im just wondering what cud be cuasing this, its a very strange error

 

[leviathane]

yeap thts what im getting on my lappy which has vista too :/ GJ on the vista compatabilty patch. LAWL

 

[Shadowss]

i have the exact same problem mates and the patch nots dont make any sense to me lol!!

except all my dudes are white not purple :/

 

[leviathane]

[VegetaFH1]

GOA replyed

They are working on investigating on what the problem cud be, they do indeed suspent that its Vista cuaseing the problem, so ill retract my statment about it possably not being vista

They also put in the standed, we will post this on our main site when we have finished and hope to prevent this sort of thing in the future

Soo it wasnt an auto reply, that only took... 20 mins for a reply, they are getting faster an faster at that

"edit"

Ye basicly what spanky put up there was what i got

I'd hope roaken or raquel (sorry if i spelt that wrong mate) wood come in and say afew words on the prossess of elimination they did on this, or even to say the progress they have had in finding the problem, cus u know we do like to be updated, but i suppose all we can do is have full faith in them to have it fixed by... lets say tomorrow

Hello,

Yes we did edit the standard response to advise players suffering with Vista - DAoC problem a little head's up regarding this. However once again i would like to point you to the Vista section of our Patch Notes:

"GAME CLIENT CHANGES FOR VISTA COMPATIBILITY

In order to make Dark Age of Camelot Vista compatible, all files that the game client generates are now written to a user directory. By default, each user on Vista is a Standard User and only has limited access control. A Standard User does not have permissions to write to common locations, such as the root directory of the game. Therefore, we have made a few changes to the way the game handles files it generates in order to make DAOC fully Vista compatible. The changes affect everyone, not just Vista users."

Full Patch notes can be found here: https://forums.freddyshouse.com/general-discussion18/220541-release-notes-1-88-a.html

Yeah, worked just fine on Vista before patch. Guess they dont have Vista at GoA office since they started the servers with such problems

Any workaround fix with Vista found yet?

[AngelHeal]

GM's ingame on temair have left several server messages that they are aware of the vista problem and are working on it.
