Error reports of the New Characters update

[Mellion]

Reducing "Character Detail" ingame to minimum solves the fps drop for me.

the bug appears in safe mode not in normal mode
and can someone tell me some good settings for safe mode? my actual settings make image pixeled

There appear to be some bugs in Safe Mode... Bad ones... I'd switch to at least Shader Model 2 if you want things to work.

With your HW setup you need to use Shader Model 3 or 4, new characters need HARDWARE SKINNING wich is not supported in our SM2 pipeline.

That's kinda odd cause I've seen no frame rate loss with Shader Model 2 for me. Models 3 and 4 are way slower.

I don't seem to have any errors in the error log pertaining to this issue, but if there is somethign you need me to post, just let me know.

An update on my problem...
I am not having this issue on my laptop (ATI 3450, Windows Vista, 4GB, Turion X2, Shader 2.0, directX) but on my gaming computer it is unplayable at any shader level... even though I know I can play on 4.0 (it's around 60FPS when it does work).

I have been told that turning down the character detail fixed FPS issues for some players, but that can only be accesed in game. It took almost 2 minutes for just the loading screen to completely disappear from my screen, so trying to do anything in game is kinda pointless.

when you first run the game, click options, then "force safe mode", that should set all the graphic qualities down to the minimum

In some cases when the paint of your armor part looks to have disappeared, re-equipping the item fixes the issue.

also, it turns out that marlak gloves and light pauldrons are meant to be invisible. i freaked out a little before i knew that

since up date cant log on ny server it always says "connection problems
please try log again"

I also experience a performance drop. In a battle where i had 25-30 fps before I know have 10 fps. 1280*1024, everything on max, disabled shadows, SM 4.
