New Experimental Client In Options

DemonMonger · 06-04-2012, 02:06 PM

Hey guys,

There is a new client you can choose in options before you start the game.

Please try it and post your findings here.

Background info of my old setup:
Since the server merges i had abruptly experienced 30+ crashs per day. (I guess i did not realize the higher graphic req in the last 2 years despite updates by reason that simultaneously the number of players declined on most servers.)
Thats why i downgraded from shader4 to fixed pipeline with an improvement in stability and nearly no crashs henceforward.

I'm testing the experimental client since 3 days now:
My previous evaluation is very positive. I have just some crashes although i'm back to shader4 with a little less settings than before. Fort fights are playable again. The only drawback is i still crash at char switch extremely often.

what we have to test? only performance? crash? some bug? network? or all?

ps: i just check it today.

Heya,

The experimental client is only for testing crash & performance fixes.

Thanks! I am going to be using this client only.

New client doesn't seem to affect my crash issues that much (still crashing as often as before), but I've noticed improved FPS in bigger fights than I had before

First impressions:

Didn't notice any big changes
lower fps(around 12-15)
ping remained the same
no crashes( I don't crash that often on shader 2.0)

Me Third... I only don't crash on OpenGL. Lowered FPS in Direct3D

After using it for a couple of days I find that I crash less, but there's much more position bug than before I used it (shader 4.0). And no changes in ping and fps.

They rush too much to expand the game, without taking time to fix their own errors, balance and bugs.
