Crap, this time they really messed up the patch. People are going linkdead all around the place and zooning takes 10 minutes or more quite often.

I also had some problem with the new achivement system, in many cases I have done stuff that isn't flagged. Like when I visit a point that it say I havn't been at in explorer XP I don't get the AA but it flaggs it off from the list.

There is a lot of changes, most for the best in the server even though some races cry about nerfing, but all that is fine. New zones too, great. But they really should have tested it better before putting it on the liveserver, this is AoCs early patches all over again.

You guys have problems? I play on Luca D'lere and there is a lot of talk about it in the chat. Someone said AB crashed but I don't know if it is true (but he said he had a character there and shouldn't have any reason to lie in the chat, and it could have been just for a few mins).

Anyways, I see some emergency patching coming up soon... In the end the game will be better but it is annoying right now.

Hmmm. I honestly didn't notice anything on Guk yesterday afternoon. I haven't logged in to play today yet though... too busy with work.

A friend of mine I play with sent me a txt this morning saying he couldn't even get to character select though, so it's obvious they're having some sort of issues.

Honestly, there's so many positive additions in this patch that I don't really mind it if they have issues along the way as long as they fix them in a timely manner and don't have to keep servers down for an extended period. That would suck (not so much for me, but for others).

I played last night with no problems.  Just took awhile to get everything setup.  I had to update profit UI which went well.  I had to then re-attune most of my gear.  Nothing like logging in naked :P

Anyway after fixing all my gear and getting everything back in place I then had to spend another 15-20 minutes setting up my racial stuff.  After that was all done I was pleased to see with the new racial stuff I manage to get another 600-700hp :)

I then went and ran the daily double.

In the end I didn't have no problems at all.

My only disappointment was that the achievement stuff didn't credit me for quests I did when the game first started.  I'm not sure why it shows some but not the oldest stuff I did.  I read somewhere that it would only update stuff that gave you AAs and since I created my character when eq2 was launched most of the stuff I did before lvl 50 was I guess lost :(

Anyway I had a good experience with the update.  No crashes no problems at all.

 nope updated the patch on my game in about 6 min then restarded the game and i went right in as normal

the only thing that didnt work  i planned to buy shadow but it didnt work but it could be the card i use 

There is a big problem. Yesterday we ran Chelsith. We lost 2 healers due to disconections and only 2 persons in the group didn't have this problem (totaly we had 9 people in the group since 3 gave up after disconecting all the time).

I got booted out 3 times in 2 hours, it usually say that the computer tried to use too much memory.

It is hard to group this way and the emergency patch didn't help. And it isn't my computer since people go linkdead all the time (more in zones with large population).

They totaly broke something with that patch, and the voicecom was bad before but now it is totaly dead for many players.

I guess it will be solotime for me until they fix this because it is slightly annoying to go down when you solo but in groups you will have to sit and wait for people to reconnect all the time.

And yes, I have the latest drivers (and so does the rest of the people with problems) an a GTX 295.

Sorry to hear you're still having this issue, Loke. I played for a short while last night and didn't disconnect once. I logged in for less than 15 minutes earlier tonight w/o any issues as well, but 15 minutes isn't a gauge of connectivity problems, obviously. I plan to play quite a bit tomorrow. Hopefully the issue will be resolved by then, or I'd assume I will run into it myself.

I'll drop by tomorrow to see if your connection has improved, and let you know how I'm doing for comparison.

Well, we did the sunken Amphi today and I disconected 3 times in about the same amount of hours (I also had some lagg and was forced to lower my settings, which is odd because it usually runs great with everything maxed out).

It could be something with Nvidia cards because it doesn't happen to everyone but a lot of people and there have been a slight problem with NV 200 cards for a while, but nothing like this. Before it usually happened 1 time in 24 hours played, SOE blames Nvidia for that.

Raiding is almost hopless right now, even if it is actually getting a little better.

I don't know if it matters but I play on a US server.
