State of Dratan

Howdy.


After the implementation of the new Dratan zone, hundreds of players became plagued by frequent "Runtime Errors". These occurred when:

1) Going into prokion of tomb of theos temples,
2) Fighting in Dratan Castle siege
3) Teleporting to the zone from another zone
4) Just from running around.

While the idea of a "Run time error" is not something new to LC. The frequency and the scope with which these errors occurred in the new Dratan, were unlike anything we had seen before.

In an effort to fix this problem, I began a dialogue with the developers, our players, and GS'.

Last week I received news from the developers that on August 26th 2008, a new bug tracking system was implemented into the game. This system was designed specifically to log crashes, and random occurrences related to them.

Included in this new tracking system was a bug fix for the Dratan Crash issues.


Since August 26th I have confirmed GS' reports that the Dratan Crashes have become much fewer and far between.

Crash log posts on the official thread http://forums.aeriagames.com/viewtopic.php?t=150292 have also been surprisingly light since August 26th. With only two new entries.


These signs lead me to believe that the majority of the crash issues have indeed been fixed. However, I cannot be sure until I have player feedback.


So please take the time to participate in the poll on the front page of the website. http://lastchaos.aeriagames.com/ (Bottom right side)

Poll question is: After August 26th, How often does the game crash in Dratan?




If you are still crashing often, in Dratan please send all of your error logs and post them to this thread http://forums.aeriagames.com/viewtopic.php?t=150292


Thanks!!!

tried telein out of dratan, literaly took over 3 mins but didint crash (and thats just goin to merac, dont wanna no how long it takes me to go to randol, but still a lot faster than having to reload the game due to crash =D)

it really seems the crashes have been brought to a minimual =)

Dratan was never a problem for me just DCS and the error reports that go with it but i say that is something sorc do because i only ER when we r killing on a sorc So to fix that problem maybe u should look into sorc and see what sorc r doing if it is just them in general or r they doing something on purpose to make every1 ER But all in all Dratan is pretty good
