Title: Fix the game or change the XP system
Post by: LLJK_Brolocaust on June 10, 2011, 07:53:18 pm
I swear to god this game is the most frustrating game I have ever played. My game has always crashed rarely on occasion but now it crashes 5 bloody times a day, and everytime it crashes it does so when I have a high multiplier. I rarely get to 5x as it is but now when my game crashes I feel like I'm gonna have a fucking heart attack. The problem isn't so much with the game crashing as how it fucks with our multipliers. Lets face it, we are slaves to multipliers in this game, everything depends on luck and your team winning, and staying logged on long enough.

Why do we have a gold and xp system that turns the players to desperation? There is nothing balanced about giving one player 5 times more gold than the other, especially if the rich player is a peasant who has been lucky with the auto-balance.

It would be so easy to have a simple system that would reward the player on a round-per-round basis. A combination of the old and new xp system would work so much better, each player would earn a set amount of gold per time played during the round, if their team wins they receive all the gold, if they lose they receive a third. This simple straightforward system would be a million times better than this nonsense we have right now.

Holy shit this is annoying, it's crashing more frequently now and almost always when I have 3x or higher. I tried reinstalling the game and mod but it didn't help.

To clarify I am running this game in DX7 mode with reasonably low settings. My computer is certainly powerful enough to handle this game as it can run Just Cause 2 no problem.

Yeah, I also have that, but I think it crashes randomly, and you only really remember it when you had a high multi. I suggest you help checking if the crashes only happen in cRPG or also in native. If they only happen in cRPG, maybe something can be done.

Look up the "cRPG Optimization" thread under general discussion.  I was having the same problems, but someone did this unofficial patch and it worked perfectly, haven't been crashing since.

how can you fix something that is not broken?

for whatever reason, playing the game in windowed mode completely solved my crashing issues for over two months now.

I have said what Brolocaust said multiple times... The multiplier is not balanced..

So I tried the CRP optimization and I tried running the game in windowed mode. Both seemed to work for a short while but the game still crashes frequently. I finally caught the error prompt but now it won't let me take a screenshot, as if the game is trying as hard as it can to anger me. I will type out the contents of the error prompt instead.

(click to show/hide)

A pretty standard error prompt, not sure if it is any help. I should probably take a break from this game because no "game" should cause this much frustration.

I cross my fingers each time there's 10 seconds left in a round and I have a x4, haha

The game also crashes more often when the map changes...

Outside of making changes to the game, there's always the option of tweaking the master settings of your gpu. TBH I did a whole slew of changes all at once (switched to dx7, turned down settings, played in windowed mode, changed my master settings, loading Native then switching to cRPG in game) so I can't really be sure what it was that worked for me, just that the issue I have always had during my 1100 hour Warband career went away completely.

join a clan and own a server or get a nice K:D:R if you want to get a high multi, people with nice K:D:R tend to get stacked on the same team for some odd reason

A lot of crashing issues is solved by unchecking Load textures on demand, but i presume that is in the cRPG optimalization thread. I am playing windowed as well and i only crash when i accidentally click the red cross in upper right corner :D Anyways, lot of guys i play with on steam i see are restarting the game quite often due to crashes...

This belongs in the bug reports section, which should also be edited to be Bug Reports/Technical Assistance. Your complaint has nothing to do with the experience system, nor balance issues in game.
