You don't know what you got...

Until it's gone.

Seems starting last night, I am having server issues in Age of Conan. I seem to be alone as well.
I have checked with my ISP, and done tracerts with no issues showing.
Basically every 30-60 secs I get a lag spike pulse. The game is then unplayable at that point. Red bar for the latency meter, and nothing happens...no movement, rubberbanding...you name it.

Is this Funcoms way of kicking me off the game now that I hit 80? Do they have personal issues with their endgame?...lol

Anyways, I have entered a ticket, so this left me time to go and sign up my 30 day account for Dungeons and Dragons Online. Still had that sitting around, and with the news of the freemium edition, figured I would see how far the game has come.

This game presents all sorts of new issues. From mouse and joystick control problems. Weird bugs in the game itself (inventory errors for example), and the DX10 LCD bug (which is not their fault...definitely a Microsoft issue).

Good thing the AoC LCD tricks works for it.

But, other issues abound with launcher errors (Vista/Windows 7?), launch problems, where the screen goes black and drops me back to dekstop.

Man...what a pain.

Well, today my copy of Prototype arrives, which my son notes as "Awesome", and we have been playing a new Xbox 360 live game called 1vs 100, a simple trivia game against other players using your avatar...comes off like a Deal or No Deal/Who wants to be a Millionaire game.

Should keep me occupied until AoC is fixed, as I am ready for a Raid this weekend.

Windows 7 installed

Makes Vista look like Windows ME!

I have yet had an issue running anything. AoC runs a 100 times better, in DX10 with my ATI 4870 card (which seems to perform better overall in Windows 7 than my Nvidia 260GTX), and does not crash on exit anymore.
The system just feels peppier, and things run faster to my naked eye (sorry, I will cover it up now..).

Looks like when this is released, it is a BUY!

Cheers

Age of Conan - Before I leave...

Hey...you know that issue with Age of Conan, DX10 and an LCD TV..that the mouse does not work, and certain resolutions are broken if you use just one cable for display?
(The only way it would work is if you had two cables hooked up to the same LCD TV)

Did you know that on Windows 7, this issue does NOT exist? Also, the issue where AoC will crash sometimes when exiting from a DX10 session? GONE!!

When I return from my hiatus, Vista is going Bye, Bye...a Memorial Day Project if I ever saw one!!

Say Hello to Windows 7 (and...anyone using Vista should do the same!!)

Cheers
