1.12 Patch - Are you crashing less?

[Shadoweaver]

I'm getting consistently longer load time on entering new areas. Where before load times were 15 to 20 second, now it's over a minute. I also have noticeable lag when I click a location or a object before I interact with it, and sometimes my character will stand there sort of vibrating back and forth as if caught between two steps. Is there anything I need to change about my software settings that might help this? Keep in mind that before the upgrade I had none of these problems. I have cable internet so that shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Less crashing during transition, but longer loading during transition. It seems that before I would crash when it would be switching from loading phase 1 to loading phase 2. Now it just takes longer for phase 2 to complete and arrive in the new zone. But it has been pretty laggy for me so far tonight.

It's alive!!

What ever you did it fixed up the server real nice now

I know I am new and don't know the first thing about running a NWN2 server, but a slow connection can down the server? That must be the most frustrating administer. I suppose you could use a bandwidth shaper to possibly find the slowest connections. Would a TCP/IP offloading NIC offer any relief? It is too bad the server can not determine bandwidth before allowing complete connection.

I have seen less crashing but the crashing is still there.Load times i think are the same andthere is a bit of lag. Oh well looks good.

[Rhazeal]

Mind you, one of the new .ini switches in the server application causes one of the server cores to run at 100% load. We're throwing the switch off for the moment. Serverside application lag is as good as eliminated.

Can't speak to crashing (haven't crashed yet in all of 20 minutes of play), but area-to-area transitions are faster. Transit between map nodes is also faster. Loading into the module, however, felt as slow as usual.

I haven't crashed on transition yet so I think that crashing has improved. However, I am not getting some command lag in game. It's variable and seems to get worse the longer I am in the game. My ISP has always been pretty good so if it is my ISP I would assume its temporary. However, hearing that others are experiencing the same thing I am wondering if something Obsidian did is causing this. Coupled with the increase in monster armor class things are pretty tough now.

No crashing as yet which is a massive improvment on how often I used to crash. Virtually every transistion to the Trade Tier used to result in a crash but not now

As far as the lag goes, I really have to agree with those that have suggested that this is caused by someones connection. Sometimes you can pretty much see the lag start when someone joins and end when they leave. As noted, shame you can't bar dial up connections.

[Leaving Hope]

Performance for me has been solid.

[nickbeat]

Still crashing a lot on transitions.

[Cadmus Runesmith]

The majority of crashes I get are due to Vista, and not the server or the game itself. Until Vista/Nvidia get the kinks worked out I just suffer through it.

[MrDeadman]

I crash as much as before, but I believe that due to the game itself. I'll crash standing at the fire doing nothing. I do get transition crashes as well (mostly entering or leaving the Church of Helm or the trade tier in general).

[DeathRose52]

I never crashed before unless it the server it self, now i seem to crash abit during the loading screens. Though plus side, i did notice a faster load over all as well abit less lag (It still there sometime but lately it been smooth as silk)

[Grunt9101]

I"m not crashing nearly as much, and loading has gotten better.
