port in tunnel of doom

[Blue Hasia]

so when will their be a fix for this, when people porting into the tunnel of doom not having their character load.


I would like to share my idea why this is happening. it is my thought that the port in corridents are off a bit in the z axis, we seem to be stuck about a half a meter in the ground while porting in, which means no solid ground under are feet. one thing I have learned while porting with the load screen off is your character will not appear until solid ground is under you, example for dragons bound on top of a building we will not appear until the bind shrine building appears under are feet but if I were to bind to the shrine with my feet on the ground outside the shrine building I will load right off the bat and can run around while the bind shrine building is still loading.

so my idea for the fix is readjust the port in coridents to be lvl with the ground in the tunnel and that may fix the problem..

O.o

Oh!!! Coordinates!

Okay, I'm with you now.

[AmonGwareth]

Its a good theory, but we don't specify a set of coordinates that you port to. You port to the portal pad itself. Also, gameplay with the loading screen off is not supported.

The main time there is trouble porting into the doom is the first time before your cache is loaded. If you clear cache for some reason or are an XP user who gets hit with the random clear cache from the launcher then you are likely to run into this again. But I think it is more a unloaded cache problem then anything else.

this effects every one, so if you fix this for people that play with loading screen it will be fixed for me to.

also on the port pad for the tunnel it also never wants to appear. it seems to only appear 1/10 of the time i enter the tunnel.

Just want to point out that i talk to other players that have comfirmed that they ported in to the tunnel and they do play with loading screen on and they suffer the same issue.

Can we get an update devs is this issue being looked into?

I would just like to confirm what Blue is saying here. I don't play with the load screen turned off. Happens to me.

Those random cache clears!!! Dag nam it. They are by far and above on of the most annoying things about this game atm. Not only does it mean I have to port twice to DDoom but I have to leave people waiting 5 mins while I port anywhere or longer if I have to port twice.

Worse than that I have had the random cache clearing happen to me while I have been logged in. Hmmm.... what is happening here?? that is one huge lag spike. Ohh.... The game crashed . That's ok I was only in ED when it happened (fighting SoG). I will quickly relog. What? I have to redownload the land? WHAT? And now I am dead as well?

Rage quit

It is pretty bad and sometimes it does make me want to quit the game but I am still here. I and others have raised this before but no one seems to want to know anything about it or not believed us that this is what is happening.

[Nambroth]

Indeed. I have never turned my loading screen off and I have this issue every time.

The most useful thing someone can do for us here is to enable your debug logs and after a crash when you are porting into Dralnok's Doom, zip and upload your crash logs. Cause it doesn't happen with me so I can't get logs for it.

Ok. Will do. But how do I turn them on?

[jerk-o]

One of the options in the launcher (the third option, I think) will enable them.

I never crashed porting into the tunnel, I just never appear in the tunnel. when I dont appear i have to recall and port back into tunnel and I will then appear in my second trip. I believe this is the same process for others.

I have no idea how to duplicate that, as it has never happened to me.

What other logs might be useful in trying to run it down then? Ever since the client started randomly eating the cashe for XP users, I get this EVERY time I try to go to the doom after my cashe has been eaten.

Process is:
Go to Delgarath
Run to the bottom of the mine
Pay my 2s
Port to the Doom
The entrance chamber loads without a landing pad, and no character (green runes circling, but no character standing there) Can see other characters there, and I believe they can see you, but would have to confirm this
After a while, hit Recall
Land at bind spot (Is REALLY trippy if you're bound in Delgarath, as you show up with no ground, but terrain features like buildings and trees, but everything is crazy colored, then after a bit everything fixes itself)
Return to Delgarath (if not bound there)
Run to the bottom of the mine again
Pay the 2s AGAIN
Port to Doom
Normally works properly this time. Character, landing pad, everything all loads

XP user, Loading Screens on (have never turned them off).

Turn on your debug logs, go through all of the above.

When the doom bugs loading for me (my char is invisible and unable to move, I do see the room I am in) I don't recall, I just relog right there and that seems to work fine. Unfortunately computer files scare me and I have to torment husband into doing anything that involves playing with files. I also always run with loading screen on and am XP user.

[LOVWYRM]

Same here, like its with Draca
(incl. tormenting husband^^).
Relog works fine.
Happens only after cleaning world cache
