Patch Notes: NW.90.20171107g.2

Thank you for the Guild changes! Some welcome changes for us micro-managers. Is it in the works to add a donation list like STO has?

Log exported with the new commands are placed where ?

Was it supposed to be 4 gigs?

If anyone remembers last year we got a huge patch like this before Thanks-Giving too. Not sure why

Anyone know why I dropped 186 points on gear score my pets gear isn't chult? went from 13986 to 13802??

I also noticed a few other mod 12.5 bugs with the Deinonychus Mount, Axe Beak Mount, Giant Strider mounts. I just found these bugs today:

--- The axe beak used to have a different jump animation but it has now been replaced with the jump from the Deinonychus mount. In the axe beak's old jump, its wings would spread a little further away from its body and return to normal once it landed. Now its wings do not spread at all except for a brief moment after it has hit the ground. The giant strider mount on the other hand, does not have wings so its unclear whether or not it also had a different jump animation in the past.
--- The axe beak mount used to have a very distinctive footsteps sound effect that played when it ran. It sounded like pattering/padded footsteps. It is now silent when it runs just like the Deinonychus. The giant strider oddly still has its footsteps sound effect so only the axe beak is effected by this issue. It is also to be noted that the giant strider's footsteps sound effect is similar to the one for the axe beak but not identical. I'm guessing this difference is why the axe beak lost its foot steps sound effect when mod 12.5 launched but the giant strider did not.
--- The axe beak and giant strider mounts no longer hold their heads in the same pose as they did before module 12.5. Their old pose was identical to eachother and both mounts are effected by this. Their old pose had their neck curled a little more with their heads tilted slightly downwards. Now their heads are tilted slightly upwards and their necks are straighter. Unsurprisingly, their new head pose matches the Deinonychus's head pose.

Was something changed that increased the CPU or graphics requirements?

I can no longer play due extremely low frame rate and the CPU maxing out. Granted I think I'm below the minimum specs (AMD Phenom II X4, 2.6GHz, 16GB RAM, using Radeon HD4200 integrated graphics). Even so, I've used this machine to play for over a year now so am sad it no longer suffices.

Change your display settings to window node and a lower resolution... then maximize window

Thank you for the suggestion, but I've already tried that. I can barely 'play' by using the absolute lowest settings and using either a tiny window or 800x600 fullscreen. This is enough to allow me to gather my VIP bonus, crafting tasks, and other such simple activities. I have a GT 710 card arriving today which I hope will take off enough load from the CPU that I'll be able to play again. I'll still be underspec'd but am hopeful.

Whatever it is, it wants to use all the CPU I have. My CPU has 4 cores and task manager (or sysinternals process explorer) shows all 4 cores maxing out with Neverwinter processes. Shutting down everything doesn't seem to make a significant difference.

As a point of interest, I now get the startup message about my machine being under specs. I didn't get that before the latest patch.
