New patch bug!

This particular death was very dramatic for me. In general I'm very unsuccessful at playing this game because I have terrible performance. General FPS is rather fluent with many exceptions, e.g. Fetid Pool, Ship Graveyard, The Forest, Fire Trap, Ice Shot, Poison Arrow, Molten Shell, Discharge. I usually die before Cruel - 70% deaths caused by one of the above.
So I'm trying to play very, very carefully this time, working way forward one small pack at a time and it worked very well taking huge amounts of time though. It got very, very slow in Cruel Chamber of Sins so I Figured I should upgrade my gear and I did - spent about an hour picking off the most OP items people were selling, paid like 3rd of all my higher value currencies, used another load to adjust the sockets but in the end I was very happy about the results and couldn't wait to try it out - it was my best character since CBT. Meanwhile an update countdown started which made me even happier (we all like to see frequent updates, right? ).
Little did I know...

Pretty soon. Sorry about that.

So many people die and no rollback "coz it's beta" and "there will be bugs" ?

Ok, fine but I need a break.


PS: It was very difficult to keep the post clean and not curse and hate the world.

peace out

It loaded this time (After the 100KB patch) which is great, I'll clear out the area and then repeat passing back and forth between the areas a bit (making brand new instances) to make sure.

yeah can confirm it's now working fine, created like 8 instances of the Docks via the Battlegrounds <-> Docks passage.

yeah we're getting brushed off


these ... people...

that run the show said there's no way to make sure that we had legitimate hardcore players in the first place



what a crock of shit thing to say to someone who doesn't have default league toons in the first place.

Man, I was just going to start farming docks...
Now im too afraid to do it until I see a new patch

no shit, i haven't logged a toon since this event, it's obviously damaging enough to see that i haven't played since, out of fear of loosing more time invested to this patch


but there's no legitimate way to see that i haven't logged in to play either right?


unbelievable how the hardcore players are getting the cold shoulder over this

furious.

I managed to create multiple instances of the Docks (Cruel) without fail after a very recent 100KB patch that was aimed at fixing the Docks. No, not the 10.3 patch, it was a patch released after that one.

I repeatedly get the following error until the Windows exception handler kicks in and closes Client.exe. This happened after your latest post Rory.

Done. All file hashes are in sync.

Press any key to continue . . .

That's very strange! Can I ask that you try to patch the game via a VPN? We're trying to figure out what is causing this now!

This happens most frequently in Vaal Pyramid Map, and no amount of redownloading from VPN and pack checking fixes it. Only way is to force softwareaudio from the launch command ): Which makes audio absolutely terrible.
