Hello Everyone,

I will try and update the list here as we go. Here are some known issues.

Please do not report these.

========================

ALT+TAB Causes my computer to act up, freeze, slow down, etc.

The Alt+Tab anomalies are a known issue. Alt+Tab'ing is not officially supported by most video game developers, and Windows doesn't always handle it so well with 3d games. There are way to many possible configurations of PCs out there to try and support this because of the way Windows handles memory, how much RAM you have, how your virtual memory is setup, etc.

Try running the game in Windowed mode instead of Full Screen, and that should allow you to switch between the game and any other programs that you need to get to.

Also, installing Asian Language Packs has been found to help some users with the game losing focus when running multiple programs and attempting to switch between them. You will probably need to have the original Windows disc to install the Chinese Language pack, or all Asian Languages pack.

========================

Getting Stuck in the Game World

While this does happen on occasion, ways that you can get unstuck are to:

1) Use your Town Portal. If you've used it already, you may have to wait for its cool-down period to expire.
2) Use a teleport item that you get in game or buy in the Boutique.
3) Ask a GM to teleport you back to the closest city.
4) Exit back to the Main Menu, and see if it drops you in a better spot so that you won't get stuck again once you log back in.
5) If you are at a high enough level for PvP or PK'ing, ask one of your friends to kill you if nothing else works.

Hope that helps

I just wanted to add a 6th option to getting unstuck, as i got stuck the other day i had a friend run to my loc with his char and we made a "embrace"-escape. to note is that this solution is only available when the "support" can get close enough for this action without getting himself stuck. And it might only work to get female chars out of a jam as they are the ones jumping to the male.

Sorry for the DxDiag dump. The way the email addy was written, my brain didnt
process it as such. Will be more attentive, since I do understand why it was written
that way. Should I still send the email? I do believe all other info was satisfied in my
report.

Well im just gonna post the bugs i find and some observations on some small but anoying programation errors...

BUG 1(programing) - when i was getting of the water near a cliff and jumped out of it and presses x for the acrobatics at the same time i got stuck in the intersection betwen the water and the earth so i hat to warp to town to get of it. ( i dont remember the exact location but it where near that bridge at the north exit of etherblade)

BUG 2(visual/programing) . when a player swims, the track it leaves in the water stays in the surface even when he

The forum doesn't seem to like any special characters. It may be some special kind of apostrophe you're using?

How am I able to attain this beta key? Everywhere I try and get it, it just say's, if you "want" to join the closed beta , we will send you the key. I "want" to play the game, lol... so if that means going through registration, I guess I'll "need" the beta key. Anyway, may a GM please send me the beta key? Also, I was wondering, what is the difference between Perfect World International, and Perfect World.my? I have an account on pwm and the game is GREAT. But, I want to start over on PWI. Please, may I have the beta key sent?

Well i was playing and looking for the tomb on Hill of swarm when i stopped in the Tomb of shining tide, walked around then got stuck on:
578, 819, 21
Image Name: 2008-08-23 22-51-45

I am also experiencing the minimizing/maximizing issue but in my case i no what it is. I do not have the east asian language pack installed and cant get it installed coz i dont have an original xp disk. My Alienware did not provide me with it.

i was playing and then the floor of all the Perfect World suddenly dissapears, its invisible Please, help!

Inconsistencies:

1. MAJOR! Trumpet Shell quest: both briefing and quest summary tells you should hunt Drowned Undines - however, they DON'T drop quest item! Undines Supreme drop quest item for that quest.

2. In quest to get "wraithtauren horns" actually you have to kill Tauren Slaves - there are no Wraithtaurens. However, quest summary doesn't specify monster name.

3. The Crimson Pendant quest: in quest briefing NPC tells that monster's name is Shade Eido, while it is Ancient Evil (it is correct in quest summary, though).

4. Ambrosia quest: Celestial Chef in quest briefing is actually named Celestial Ancient

6. God of Cuisine (timed lvl 22 quest from NPC at 571,656): quest briefing says ingredients must be collected in 30 minutes, summary - in 1 hour. Timer starts at 1:00:00, so it's probably correct time. However, quest doesn't end after 1 hour and timer goes down to negative numbers. Not sure if you still can collect quest reward though, as I aborted it.

7. Spiritual Cultivation quest: Meet General Feng. Actual NPC name is Soldier Feng. The same applies to lvl 37 "Visit the General" quest.

8. Pet renaming says name is max. 5 characters log, which (fortunately) isn't true

9. Metabolic Boost skill of Venomancer has range of 17.4, increasing with level. I failed to use it on another character or pet, though - it seems to work only on caster, so actual range is 0.

10. Hay is called "Straw" in Auction Hall


Bugs:

1. Flying pets (namely: FLying Pig) sometimes gets stuck in uneven groud when sent to attack ground mobs. Most usually I experienced that on hills NW from Orchid Temple, but also fighting Ossein Guards near Tomb of Heroes and in other locations. I haven't tried other flying pets, though.

2. All tamed pet eggs (at least up to lvl 38), including rare pets, are worth 1 gp.

3. All waypoints are deleted after you enter any dungeon.

4. "Refresh" button in Guild screen only refreshes online status, not current levels.

5. With water reflection turned on, screen starts to blink on areas with larger amounts of water. (Graphic: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS, latest drivers installed). That's happening often, but not always.


Minor graphic issues (probably to be ignored):

1. One of the stairs in Archosaur ( 543, 675) are insubstantial - char can hide in them

2. Underwater Zoologist NPC in Archosaur East is stuck up to his knees in seafloor (mud?)

3. Both flying device and character during flight are moving up and down a little. Hovewer, this movement isn't coordinated.

4. Cat tail of Venomancer (haven't checked other tails) in human form gets separated from her body during swimming

ADDED: 5. If you choose "show class and level" option in party window, part of slogan won't be visible. At least not with lowl-resolution screen (I'm using 1024x768) - no sure if higher resolution affects that.


Question: Should I post it to techsupport as well? Sorry for posting part of them to customerservice earlier

regards

Adrian

In pet stats window there's a position: "Damage" - which, I believe, is actually Accuracy.
