Title: Latest patch seems to be taking steps backwards
Post by: 4510 on August 08, 2009, 08:47:35 AM
Obviously no viz on if it made things better for folks that had problems, but in my case, I had no problems at all and now the game has become very unstable.

White screen of death twice last night, once a mass dump in the FSO.

This morning logged in and the screen locked up tight again, tho it didn't "dump me" just left me looking at the kneeboard.  Had to ctrl-alt-del out.

Back to the drawing board I hope.

 :(

It happens if you were tuned on private channel and that person is not online when you start the game next time.

Ditto here.   Twice Thursday early afternoon and said "I'll fly later".   Once last week.   Three times so far I've had the "White Screen/Error Report".

Same here...  Fortunately it was before FSO, and everything ran fine after that.

You guys should upload your dxdiag.txt's to some webhost, so that you can link to em each time you make a report like this.

Guess that I am lucky, Frame rates range 78 to 128( full graphics), only white screen is when I try to join someone from the hanger screen.  Frame rate jumps a little near the ground but usually around 50-55.  I am guessing that all you  high end game machines are really giving you some trouble, this little dell dem/4700, with a Gforce GS250 vid card is doing very well against the high end machines, or most likely its luck.  Pyro..... the game seems to be working fine, windows XP ... nothing I had to change.. except my darn X52 has to big dead bann that I can not figure out...also I put all USB stuff on external power..."hint  hint", keeps the machine more stable ..don't ask me it just an observation... and also got a 750 watt power supply... maybe this can help ya...  I don't know.. seems to be working fine with new graphics.   Sometimes simple is better...

You also milk empty Arenas, so it's not like you're "encountering" large furballs, etc.

I guess it isn't IF you Milk only how WELL you Milk... and apparently it doesn't take a "high end " machine to do it.   :rolleyes:
