Freaking client crash everytime I try to do anything in game - touch the welcome screen, chat, interact with anything. Did you even QA this?

Evil Gandhi · 10-12-2010, 01:52 PM

Well, let's start from the first moment of GU58...

As soon as my mouse tries to click anything on the screen (drag to move, close welcome window, hail merchant, etc.), the client crashes.

EDIT: Closing the welcome window with Ctrl+L, then doing anything does not help.

Geothe · 10-12-2010, 01:52 PM

Forced "welcome screen" (AKA shove SC down your throat screen) is freaking stupid.

Said welcome screen causing repeated client crashes is freaking hilarious.

Nice job!

Felonie · 10-12-2010, 01:53 PM

huge problem as soon as i click the mouse or move or do anything eq2 stops working and closes

Dimi · 10-12-2010, 01:53 PM

Well at this point in time, seeing as how i crash everytime I move my toon. IT SUCKS!

Aldore · 10-12-2010, 01:53 PM

I am also getting game client crash when I log into the game.

Lamatu · 10-12-2010, 01:55 PM

If your crashing and use Profit you need to manually install the updated version.

Felonie · 10-12-2010, 01:56 PM

Umigo · 10-12-2010, 01:59 PM

Same here. Crashes as soon as you try to do anything. Are we going to have to change back to the SOE UI. Did not see any update for Profit UI today. So was wondering if this might be causing the crash. anyone using the default UI and working or not working? Never mind see post that went up while i was typing.

You have to download Profit GU 58 from here.

emerant7 · 10-12-2010, 02:01 PM

I'm using default UI. Can't get into the game at all. Downloads almost all the way, then cancels itself. Over and over and over.

emerant7 · 10-12-2010, 02:07 PM

Okay, was using EQ2Maps updater. Went in directly through launcher, download completed, picked a toon, and it froze the client at Updating Environmental Maps...

I cant even start the game, Hangs station launcher every time at 13%... Even have done a full scan, still hangs at Updating... 13% then, have to open task manager to stop the stationlauncher.exe process/or reboot the computer every time or station launcher will not open again.

Even left the Updating process for well over an hour running on my computer and giving no indication of updating.

Corydonn · 10-12-2010, 02:17 PM

Brawler's still have their 1.2k passive mitigation they recieved during the mitigation changes, I'm not sure if that is intended!

Amnerys · 10-12-2010, 02:22 PM

Here's info on the workaround for the crashing issue:

I love the change on the station marketplace petamorph wands but is there any chance to get an unlimited one if we had previously purchased the limited charge one?

alch4mist · 10-12-2010, 02:24 PM

I've been quick to criticise the development team in the past - but please accept my sincere thanks for the recent update and listening to our earlier concerns re GU57 - theres always more we can wish for but pleased that we are not beyond your notice...

I NEED HELP!! My game will not run... I cannot update! Station Launch Pad hangs at 13%, nobody else seems to have this issue. My game was working last night before I went to bed. I have not been able to run eq2 client since this morning.

The best place to get help for connection issues is the Connection Support forum

And you can always contact Support if you need a more urgent reply. Hope you're able to get fixed up soon!

I can load eq2 from the game client, just not though station launch pad... just an fyi, just tested. As you can see ITS NOT A CONNECTION ISSUE!

By Connection, we mean all the steps getting you connected to the game, which inlcudes all Launchers. SMILEY DanKinney, the red name you'll see posting a lot over there, is the lead over the Launcher programs and usually answers many questions every week on the forums there. It sounds like you might want to go ahead and call in or submit a ticket online to see if you can get some direct help though.

Pakhet · 10-12-2010, 04:26 PM

On Anathraxxis my group wiped (easy mode) on AE spew bile after the ooze dropped. We had him at like 40%. After the wipe, 5 seconds into the fight he will cast spew bile (with no ooze drop), which whether behind, beyond max range, on the ramp, etc hits for like 28k slashing damage. Casters and healers go boom, tank is left to solo it. I even went like 50m behind the mob, against the opposite wall to try to avoid it.

Assuming it bugged out because we wiped on the ooze? Everyone in group was in at least T1 raid gear, two healers shaman/cleric. First pull would have been fine except group didn't move away from ooze, every pull there after was insta-one shot AE on pull.

ccarro · 10-12-2010, 04:37 PM

Please make the "Summon Mount" ability grey out when the mount has been activated. It would make things much easier and consistant.

The "view" from any of the large Qeynos balconies is the same view regardless of your address. They all have the same layout. Balcony views were not adjusted/created for each individual address. This is true in all the cities/homes that got balconies.

Darkor · 10-12-2010, 05:47 PM

The BG Weapon Vendor has a Bandolier for Fighters only, for some reasons fighter got no bow. Can you make that bandolier please scout usuable and give figher also the new bow. This way both archetype get access to bow/bandolier.

Also the BG quest guys hand out OLD tokens. Please make it that they give the new tokens. Otherwise we have to keep exchanging them, it makes no sense.

After all a nice update if you could fix the two things mentioned above.

Laenai · 10-12-2010, 05:54 PM

Can't separate items in the guild bank to place in inventory using Shift + drag! It'll let me choose the amount I want to move, but when I put it into my inventory slot, it moves the entire stack anyway.

Once the entire stack is in my inventory, they do separate correctly into the guildbank. Just not out of the guildbank.

Peogia · 10-12-2010, 05:57 PM

Coercer

[Fan Faire Feedback] “Possess Essence” can now be cast on bosses and named NPCs.

can u please make this persist through death and zoning and logging in and out ect until i chose a new pet

would also be nice if u would let us set the size of our pets like house items

the connection status window is blocking nagafen's name because for some odd reason the default eq2 ui always resets it back there after after logging in and out after i place it all the way in top right hand corner im guessing its designed for crt screen im on wide screen
