Grey mobs are freezing

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Ever since I started playing EQ2 over a year ago, I have noticed weird things happening sometimes when you get close to grey mobs. Their animation stops and they freeze completely. This doesn't happen to all mobs, some do an "I am afraid" animation instead. This only seems to happen on mobs that stand still.It's like if the game tries to load an "afraid" animation, but has none for the mob so instead it freezes.Considering how long this has happened now, I think it's weird a bug fix hasn't yet been released?Does anyone else see this happening sometimes? I experience it on both my computers.<strong>Discovered mobs that freeze</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Map: Chardok</span>a Bathezid Defendera Bathezid Dragoona Bathezid Gatekeepera Bathezid Sentinel<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Map: Everfrost</span>The Seraph of the Stags<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Map: Jarsath Wastes</span>an Aggressive Grindhoof<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Map: Kylong Plains</span>an Elder Wurm<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Map: Loping Plains</span>A Gremlin MuseA Gremlin TricksterA Lyrech Bloodthirster (During Night)a Lyrech Worg (adds to Zieran The Hunter)a tainted Growth worm (multi-encounter version)Seeress Mirithia (Werewolf Version)Zieran The Hunter<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Map: Tenebrous Tangle</span>a Territorial Gorg<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dungeon: The Poets Palace</span>a glimmering cobra (multi encounter version)a grand palace guardiana high palace guardianan emerald scaraba ruby scaraba sapphire scarab</p>

<p>I'm sure it will help the animation artists if you give the specific name of the mob, what zone it was in, and an approximate location (/loc will give you that).</p><p>However, this is probably lag or latency on your side. What kind of internet connection do you have? How much RAM does yoru computer have?</p>

[tkia]

It's not just grey mobs, I've seen it on green mobs too. Anything non agro seems prone to it and it appears to be random. I've had it happen on a particular set of mobs one day and if I go back a few days later it doesn't happen. I've never been able to work out the pattern to it.

Can happen to orcs sometimes, other times they cower in fear...This time, and my reason for posting, happened in the Drafling Tower in the start where one drone is not moving. He just froze into place there and was frozenly floating in mid-air. They are like statues. And yes, it can happen on green mobs too I think. Any mob that is non aggro is prone to this, but it is most common with grey ones.Honestly, I myself don't remember a green mob doing this right now, but it can probably happen there too. But with grey mobs it happens all the time. Often happens with skeletons and zombies too.</p>

[Morghus]

<p>I've seen this before as well, most often it happens to fae drakes and thulian lizardmen for me. Only when they are gray.</p>

[Messen_Smith]

<p>I saw this over the weekend in RoV.</p><p>There's a set of bats at the tunnel entrance that overlooks the pit with the spiders in it (the one that doesn't have a path by it). I noticed when I jumped over to it that the bats stopped flapping and just froze in mid-air. The bats were grey to the toon I was on.</p>

[Buneary]

<p>this is something thats been happening ever since i started playing back in 2004. any non-aggro mobs (doesnt matter what they con) you get close to they will sometimes freeze and not do the "cower" animation/idle animations. its random and doesnt happen all the time. its also not certain specific mobs that do it, it can be any mob in any zone.its not our PCs or internet connections. its done it to me on the 5+ PCs and 3 different internet connections i have used to play EQ2 on. its just a random programming quirk that plagues the game like so many others.</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>It happens on most areas with grey mobs. The entrance to the drafling tower works for me every time so far. For this to happen, two criterias must be met.The mob <strong>has to stand still</strong> (it can happen to moving mobs while standing still too, I think, but not sure) and it <strong>has to be grey.</strong>Any spot with lots of grey mobs is working well. I recall this happening near lots of zombies in the Commonlands too.It happens to almost all mobs that don't use a cower animation and I encounter it everyday when I travel in grey mob zones. It's just looking... weird.</p>

[Aibyouka-Mew]

<p>I get this too, but ONLY in the Shard of Love, and to the drakes (not the named). That is the only mob that does this for me. Not sure if they have to be grey or not, but they are always grey to me when I make my runs thru it.</p>

<p>That is good to know. It is obviously a very old bug from what other players say so maybe it will be hard to solve it since the way it was programmed into the game was so long ago.But please keep us updated on this issue since it's a weird and common occuring.</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>I started playing sometime during Sentinel's Fate and downloaded it from Steam.After that I downloaded the Station Launcher and proceeded from that. I always use the station launcher, but I have used the regular ones a few times to see if it updates anything else. And I have checked all content to be downloaded on both of the launchers.For the newest computer, I copied everything from the old one and ran the station launcher to patch what was needed. But this happens on both computers despite different installation methods.Windows Vista and Windows 7 used, and one computer has ATI (newer one) and the other one Nvidia (older one from which I sent the ini-file).Using swedish version of windows on both, if that matters. But I doubt that... What O/S do the other people who has seen the bug use?</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Haven't seen many grey mobs freezing lately. Haven't really tried either...Has this issue been fixed now or have I just been lucky?</p>

[Drakah]

<p>I too have been noticing this myself recently and I have /bug'd the mobs that I have found that do not animate when you are up close.</p><p>So, to the Dev, look up the Bug reports by me within the past few days and you can goto the exact locations to the mobs.</p><p>Here is what I know though...</p><p>I have tried a clean INI file at minimal settings - same thing.I have tried a clean INI file at OMG Super duper uber settings - same thing.</p><p>1) Not all grey mobs freeze2) Mobs that are have a stationary stance will freeze3) Mobs that have a stationary stance, but has a scripted animation, will not freeze4) Some mobs that have a walking animation can freeze... (ex: iksar skeletons in Karnor's)5) I have seen this freezing on mobs such as Aviaks, Kobolds, Drovlargs, and many others.</p>

<p>I have seen it every time I have entered shard of love at 80, unmentored, and run up to the right side towards the drakes.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>I think the main cause of this is lag honestly.  Server side and your own.  So it might be less noticable off-peak hours and sometimes not at all.  Every update we push out optimizes things a little more each time so this might help alleviate it too.  I've tried really old PC's on dialup and still couldn't reproduce it, however. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>I doubt this is related to lag, or we would see this in other games as well.Couldn't it be related to missing "scared" animations on certain mobs, or mobs that try to load the wrong animation?House pets can also get stiff animations if you make them stay, and then wake up. Then the animation totally freezes.Did you try doing this in the tower of the drafling? The bees at the start always seem to freeze.</p>

[Drakah]

<p>Josh, did you see the video I posted?</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>I did and I managed to get a few mobs to freeze on me too.  I was trying many suggested before with no luck.  For instance, I went to Kunzar Jungle and the roamers are all fine.  The stationary fixed spawns seem problematic.  Roaming highland gorilla's are fine for me but the ones sitting up freeze when I get close.  But the jungle quatcha's, stationary or not they don't freeze on me.</p>

[Drakah]

<p>Right...</p><p>Any non-roaming mobs, freeze.</p><p>Any walking type mobs do not.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>Except the Jungle Quatcha's, stationary or not, didn't freeze for me.  Think you missed that part <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Reporting the ones I can reproduce.</p>

[tkia]

I've only ever seen the problem with static placed mobs - if they path they don't freeze. I haven't been able to find any non grey mobs that are doing it currently but I know I've seen it happen on non agro greens previously. One place it seems to be guaranteed to happen for me is with the fairies at the back of Rivervale. The groups static around the trees do it every time.

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>I'll make sure these all get re-reported and emphasized.</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Yes, and I might add that the freezing can sometimes happen for the "same" mobs but in different areas.Like a skeleton standing still in Thundering Steppes might not freeze, but a skeleton standing still in Commonlands might even if they use the same model. It is rare that this happens, but it may. (These locations don't freeze afaik, it was just used as an example.)Is this a result of missing "scared" animations?Edit: And also please look into the house pet animation freeze. When you tell them to "stay" and "wake up". This causes animation freeze as well as I noted. Has anyone else experienced this too?Edit 2: Oh, and did you (Josh) try the bees in The Drafling Tower? They freeze there too, and it is noticable at the entrance room the most.</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Another place I have encountered freezing mobs at is in Rivervale.I managed to get a zombie freezing near where the nightbloods and lamia's are. I think it was a zombie pet for a lamia.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>I haven't been to the draffling tower yet but I'll definitely make a stop there and all over now. </p>

[Drakah]

<p>remember to check my bug reports for the mobs I found which will give you the mob name and location to make it easier.</p>

[Drakah]

<p>It seems, npcs that have an attack stance that stand in place, and roaming mobs are fine. It looks like every npc that doesnt move, other than the iksar skeletons in Karnor's, have the issue.</p><p>I basically have been looking threw Kunark, so here are some examples you can check out.Its just a reference to what I have been seeing throughout Norrath, not just Kunark zones.</p><p>a Bathezid sentinel, Chardok, 92, 6, -524a Bathezid sentinel, Chardok, 100, 6, -519a Bathezid dragoon, Chardok, -355, -18, -555a Bathezid dragoon, Chardok, -339, -20, -536a Bathezid dragoon, Chardok, -321, -20, -541a Bathezid gatekeeper, Chardok, -351, -18, -549... and outside static standing guardsa Bathezid defender, Chardok, -97, -27, -462... and static standing guards around here</p><p>an aggressive frindhoof, Jarsath Wastes, -703, -128, -637...and the surrounding rhinos</p><p>Tons of mobs in Karnor's Castle, including the iksar skeletons in the lower level that appear walking but are stuck.</p>

[Drakah]

<p>What is funny too is if you use a tradeskill table while under an illusion, your toon freezes too <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Really weird <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Maybe the issue is that these zones were top level zones when they were new and the devs never bothered putting in any "scared" animations, rendering them buggy when the lvl cap increased?Just a guess, but it might be like that. Then again, I recall low lvl mobs freezing as well as high lvl mobs making scared animations...</p>

[Drakah]

<p>Seems to happen in all zones, as well as I remember this happening several expansions ago too.</p><p>The "scared" or "cringe" animation always annoyed me to no end because it was a neverending short loop animation....would had much rather them not cringe at all, or just 1 run of the animation without a loop.</p>

[Rahtoal]

<p>ive had creatures freezing too but for me it is mostly winged stationary mobs such as fairies, droag, bixies things like that</p><p>ive only noticed it after the TSO expansion however never had anyproblems before that came out i always assumed it was lag related</p>

[Drakah]

<p>Also, In Kylong Plains, "an elder wurm", 1936, 190, -1965, and its surrounding types that are stationary.</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>No problem. I just hope this can get fixed. It looks a bit amateurish when this happens. The good thing is that it's nice if you want to make screenshots and "fix" the mobs into place. But gameplay wise it does not look very well <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" />Found the cause yet?Edit: And I think it's kind of funny how in the beginning it was almost impossible for the staff to find grey mobs that freeze and that now almost all of them do. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Did you also take a look at the freezing animations for house pets while using the sit/stay combination?A bit unsure which one to press first, but I know that using one of them and then pressing stay freezes them.</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Man, you answer faster than I can correct my typos, lol.Nice to see some cares about this though. Thanks. Try expermienting with the animations that make "stay" available.Works on allmost all pets. Especially 3D pets. Meaning, not the particle effect ones, but robots, dogs, etc. The small 2D spirit globes (like the ones from shard of love) seem unaffected from this.Edit: I didn't mean stay. I meant wake up. I think the right combination is Stay first then Wake Up. Then it freezes.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>If only I had actually decorated my house rather than dump 100+ house pets in it, this might go a little quicker!</p>

[Pixiewrath]

<p>Tested it now. The correct combination is "Stay" then "Stand up".On some mobs they are named differently, but it is the same principle.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>Understood, I'll give it a whirl as soon as I can.</p>

<p>I am in Tenebrous Tangle at the moment, and I am in front of "a territorial gorg", at location 136,57,-15, and is frozen up close <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>This mob is a level 57, in a KOS expansion zone, so there goes those theories <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Do we really need to write down the exact locations (many mobs have multiple) or is the name of the mob and the name of the map enough?Could compile some in the OP but I am not sure the coordinates are neccessary?</p>

<p>It's a very old issue, but one that ruins the game experience a lot. The only good use it has is if you want to freeze mob animations in order for a screenshot, lol</p>
