Performance and Stability
  • Fixed many stability / performance issues in the Foundry, the Queue system, Gateway, and Login. This should improve the overall player experience in each of those features.

Localization
  • Fixed a major issue resulting in unreadable item tooltips in the French language.

Auction House
  • The Auction House will now deliver currency and items through the in-game mail system.
  • Fixed an issue that could lead to sellers not receiving the correct sum of Astral Diamonds when an auction expired without being bought out.

User Interface
  • When viewing stores remotely (for example, when accessing the Wondrous Bazaar from afar), consumable items such as ID Scrolls can now be purchased in bulk.
  • Guild Banks now properly update which of their options are checked on a per-Rank basis, instead of incorrectly showing the same checkmarks across all ranks.

The Foundry
  • Players will no longer occasionally be locked out of all input after using the in-Preview object nudger.

    constantly seeing disconnected from server every five minutes it seems. during combat my attacks doesn't do any damage to the enemies, causing me to die because of it. my character is being pulled in the opposite direction in which i run. kind of like im teleporting. so of this mission objective doesn't appear like they should. for instance in the beginning when you have to stand in front of the campfire to heal. i had to do that mission at least ten times because when i stood if from of the campfire nothing happened. also it kept booting me from the game all together. i had to do that with every mission thus far and i've done at least five or so missions.

    I think different issues are getting mixed up.. the rubberbanding a lot of folks are talking about isn't lag and is a bit more than just rubberbanding.. it seems more like you're not loading into the zone properly and the game doesn't know you are there.. you can get half way across the city and POOF you're dropped back at the beginning.. also chat/zoning etc doesn't function..

    AH items going through the mail?
    I hope the mail system is being fixed at the same time as it is currently broken with regards to receiving NPC mail.

    NWN just crashed (without any messages) after i bought a 5-hour horse, and now i can't login. The client just says "patching" and nothing happens. The button "Cansel" doesn't react, the others (news, forums, suport, etc.). It tells me mine NWN is version <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.13 and not <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.14 as it should be.

    Ah, i undestood... After the patch "GameClient.exe" was still in processes, but it diesn't work. After ctrl-alt-del the client working again.

    Nothing against you dude but that thread is absolutely BS. You can't help players that have a near perfect internet connection when they can't connect properly with Cryptic servers.

    Through out all four betas and playing from the 25th of april, I've had nothing but rubberbanding. Going though that link was a waste of time but guess what fixed my issue? I recommend everyone with rubberbanding issues to try this.

    Go to your launcher /> go options /> should be an option to disable ingame patching /> reset launcher. Enjoy.

    You will get the odd rubber banding but not as bad as I was experiencing. I do play from Australia so that lag/rubberbanding is there BUT TRUST me after Ive done that, my gameplay experince is SO MUCH BETTER!

    Auction House
    • The Auction House will now deliver currency and items through the in-game mail system.

    Does that make we now receive the game mails correctly?

    Now, the mail system sometimes you sold items on AH but don't receive the mail or you receive the mail 501230 days later or when you erase a new email, if this is not fixed yet, i'm sure we lose all items/AD from AH.

    Thanks so much,

    Greetings.

    Hi, the maintenance hasn't happened yet so being at version .13 is fine.

    Regarding connecting, I had that problem and that was due to me picking the 'proxy' 'EU' option in the launcher 'Option' settings. Check that because for me eu1.proxy.crypticstudios.com doesn't respond to a ping but eu2.proxy does. When you have the option set, it seems to pick a random proxy and then force connect you. If you get eu1 then your going to time out. If you do have it set to 'EU', then just put it back to 'None'

    Hope this helps!

    please tone down the need to buy everything with cash/ad/zen.
    Respecs need to be either paid for in gold or a sensible amount of AD. The fun of experimenting with your character is almost non existent.

    Just a suggestion, when server's reset the characters last spawn point should be at the last campfire associated with them.

    That way when you log back in, your not jumped by 20 orc's
    Thorin Oakenshield - 60 DC | Floki Longarm - 60 TR | Tiny Tank - 60 GWF

    I had the 'cannot connect to account server error'. I found out it was my virus protection preventing it. Try shutting your virus protection off for a few minutes to allow the update to happen. This worked for me just fine.
