I'm happy...Follow

I'm happy after the patch.
For me the game looks sharper, I'm not lagging as much. I was having a problem with my character models, but they are normal again and I'm zoning so much faster now.
And I haven't come across any problems yet, in relation to the patch and it ******** up my game.

I am zoning much faster too! Although that zone screen is gonna take some getting used to lol.
Nice so far =)

My battle graphics were all messed up last night after patch. No graphics for slashing, blunt or archery but did have it for bashing - go figure (was watching my dialog box closely and fortunately was still doing damage to the mob). No one else in my group was having a similar problem - so that's kinda scary. Bugged it and have my fingers crossed.

I liked the way the player names show up, seem to have more depth or something, and the mobs sparkling away after looting is cool. Oh, and the 'link' option in the loot screen seems handy, although didn't actually use yet.

I like the new expansion, nice touch seeing frosty breath from players and mobs in EF.

I zoned very quick before, so don't know if any change resulted and I have had np with lag before or now - went to POK, EF camp, N Ro camp, and BB camp last night.

I did run into a problem after finishing one of the 2 EF LDONs last night. I gated to N Ro (bind point) and was selling to magus when I got a low on virtual memory warning on the computer which dumped me out to desktop. Was able to reload quickly and resumed selling and about a minute later went LD.

Again reloged quickly and hooked back up with the group to split. BTW I looted both LDONs which were normal that we ended after finishing collects and higher loots than I usually see - first one was over 150 plat alone and second one around 200 plat. We did get 1 nice gem drop of 119 plat but rest was normal. Also had 3 augs drop in the 2. Level was 58 to 64.

Things seem smoother for me. I like the way your corpse fades after you loot it. One problem I had was my find NPC feature wasn't working correctly. All I got were a few sparklies. I had this problem several months ago before I got my new video card. If this expansion has made my current card incompatible I'm gonna be p*szed.

It may just be me, but I thought this has been there for quite some time....At least since PoP.

After seeing others with the problems on SOEs boards I upgraded my video drivers to the latest 4.9 version and turned everything up to max quality. Enabled all extra settings in EQ and turned off shadows. The system ran smooth as silk. Better than before the patch. I clicked shadows back on and I was down to 2 FPS again. So I think im happy with the improvements just as long as I pretend the shadows option doesn't exist :)

I got the driver update message yesterday and did just that. And now the hair on the new models is screwed up -- everyone has white hair except for their bangs which is whatever color their hair is supposed to be.

Thanks, Sony!

Say goodbye 5 minute zone times! /flex

Thanks. Sent ya a PM. Which makes one wonder why I'm posting here, but I do have a reason!

I forgot to say in the PM if you can get me the file name, that should be enough. I can always delete or rename my copy of the file and let the patcher reload it properly. Thanks for your help!
