Problem with latest update

[gwirsaeth]

Since around the time of the latest update (about 13 hours ago) I can no longer use my character. I was on before and after the server restart with game not working correctly. At first the game crashed every time I tried to kill a mob - between 1st and 4th shot - and now the game freezes on the character selection screen when I press play.

i have tried unlock_powers in case normal hit was buggy, I've tried getting killed at a fort, I've deleted local files on Steam and re-downloaded, verified local files, changed video drivers and written a dozen or so crash reports and submitted tickets.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I should do next (keep it clean!).

Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on Steam but not convinced this is Linux related.

Worked absolutely fine on Debian. Pretty safe to say it's not a Linux related issue this time.

Linux Mint 14 works like a charm.

One more thing to say. I was using experimental nvidia driver v310. Yesterday I updated my video driver to proprietary binary driver v319 and raised my FPS from 30 to 50. Cheers!

Nice increase!

So any ideas what to try next?

Btw, now I tried deleting data files to force refresh. On log in it says I need to authorize a new computer, haven't had anything in email, what is going on?

Reinstall, reinstall.

The answer to this particular problem is to switch off weapon trails and weapon beams in the video options.

The next part of the problem is that after all the messing about the sound quality is really bad, stuttering and scratchy.

Any ideas welcome.

if it is not a issue of pulseaudio in your linux system, perhaps configuration of the openal config file helps:

perhaps the sample-type or driver setting of openal can help.

It seems to be a problem with surround sound - if I set sound output to 5.1 instead of analogue stereo the quality of sound improves dramatically but I only have analogue headphones so some effects sound too loud, for example the sound of an arrow hit is in the middle of my head (too loud) not in the distance. It is bearable and time to shop for 5.1 headphones!
