General Off Topic / The Legend of Farge
« on: June 29, 2013, 01:12:41 am »
"And what of Farge?" King Fatticus spoke, knowing deep within his subconscious mind he was unworthy. Fear singed his tongue even before the words left his fat, pox-ridden mouth.
"They say he slew a thousand men Your Grace -- and bathed in their blood after the battle was finished. It is said he is invincible, a self proclaimed champion of the true north strong and free."
The king waved a hand to dismiss what he perceived to be the inane reiterations of frightened fools. "He is just a man such as you or I. He spreads exaggerated tales of his prowess to sow fear into our ranks and minds. I can admire such tactical stratagems, but this man is nothing to fear. A leader of a soon-to-be squashed peasant uprising; such as we have seen in the past."
The steward spoke carefully, and with a solemn tone.
"I do not believe this to be true, Your Grace. The men spoke of him as a god, and not a conqueror. They surmise he will be upon the castle before nightfall. His steed is that of --"
"Hah!" the king spouted. "You expect me to believe this man moves as a demon would? I will hear no more of this rubbish."
The very millisecond the king's words ceased to fall from his mouth, there was a great thundering boom. The far wall of his solar exploded into fragments and fired about the expanse of hall in a hail of shrapnel.
The king dove under his dining table, pushing his chair onto it's back. The noise had so frightened him he thought he might loosen his bowels. He was fortunate enough not to do so.
He rose his head with a thump as it banged against the underbelly of the modestly sized dining table and widened his eyes at what he saw.
It was Farge, and even caked in the dust of dried mortar he still seemed to shine brilliantly. His breastplate had a small dent on it from what seemed like an impossible idea to the king. Farge had literally burst through the stone wall with his chest.
What he saw next made him despair even more. His steward had been crushed under more than a few stone slabs, and the impact had left blood stains in every direction imaginable.
His menacing brown braided beard was the only visible feature of Farge's harshly sculpted face as he strode at an impossible speed toward the king -- his blooded and bloodied greataxe swinging loosely from it's sling behind his back.
The king began to panic as a loud crack formed overhead, and the sensation of weight falling upon his hapless spine began to arise. The table overhead had crumpled under the weight of the stones that had landed upon it's surface.
"No!" he bitched -- a bitch himself, he realized all too suddenly -- as Farge's mighty chain gauntlet clasped the fur collar of his fine, if a little sullied, silken robe and hoisted him into the hair, dangling uselessly in front of the surprisingly tall man whose dark brown eyes pierced his soul like a needle through a piece of cloth.
"You would slander the deeds -- and name -- of the mighty Farge? You, the king of women and children-at-arms?" His voiced echoed throughout the hall, as booming as a voice could possibly be.
By now, a handful of castle guards had closed the breach with shield and spear, and readied themselves for combat. Farge knew of their new-found position, but dismissed them as quickly as he had noticed them.
The king felt a small sliver of hope slide into him as he noticed his men moving to defend their king -- but that hope was systematically crushed as a force tighened around his throat.
The other hand which had pacified the king so had released it's unrelenting grip and the king's weight fell at once to his neck. He swirmed and coughed as his feet dangled and his vision blurred into a slow blackening curtain.
"This can't be how it ends" he thought, his mind dulling every second the oxygen fled from his brain. "This can't be real."
With a quick increase in pressure and a loud crack, the king's thoughts stilled; and Farge's grin began.
His ivory-white teeth spotted with blood as the body of the fat king seperated underneath the feeble spine that had now been severed within the mighty grasp of Farge.
He spun quickly and overhand hurled the king's ugly, pox-ridden head toward his guardsman. The impact caused an explosion so fierce that the entire castle had fallen in on itself, and nothing but gravity-defying dust remained.
Heads turned, and within moments a crowd formed at the base of the motte that used to surround a rather magnificent looking grey-stone castle.
Silence broke as a man emerged from the ruins.
Farge. It was Farge.
Only something had changed about him. A crowned adorned his head, and his smiled had faded and hardened into a look of sheer determination.
"Fool king." he shouted, renewing a silence which broke earlier to a rush of murmurs and gasps.
"He never even saw it coming."
And yey the legend of Farge had been begun.

cRPG Technical problems / Item Bug
« on: February 28, 2013, 04:57:21 pm »
I've encountered a bug regarding the clan armoury system.
I had lent my masterwork great sword and my well made crossbow to my alt (Ice_Williams), and put them in my clan's armoury so that both my clan as well as myself could use these items at our leisure.
I decided to give up leveling my alt and commit him to be my skip the fun character, so I deleted him and apparently my items as well.
Typically I wouldn't call this a bug, but my main was holding the items when he was deleted and now I can still use the items, but not trade or loom them.
I was wondering if it was possible to return the items to my main (Lefarge) since he was the character that owned these items as well as earned the heirloom points to obtain them.
If not, go ahead and don't squash this bug.

« on: February 07, 2013, 06:34:12 am »
Lefarge experiences a similar problem.
Approximately a month ago my ping was 30-40, and now I constantly experience 70-100.
Like the OP I have pinged several Chicago servers and peaked at around 40. Also like the OP my ping is fine in other games.
I have also tried forwarding my ports, and that didn't seem to help at all.
I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada if that provides any useful details whatsoever.
I haven't called my ISP but I figure I don't need to now, considering it's not just me who seems to be having this issue.
Farge out.

cRPG Technical problems / Still Having Launcher Problems: WTB Torrent for 2.9.2.4
« on: November 01, 2012, 04:43:19 am »
I've read the various threads regarding this issue and none of the fixes seem to have corrected my apparent launcher related qualm.
Is there already a torrent, or a mirror site from which I can download this patch? I've pretty well given up hope of getting the new patch through the launcher at this point.
If anybody knows of either a torrent or a mirror site please post them below.
Feel free to close this thread if asking for this is somehow in breach of one of the many rules I am not aware of.
10,000 gold to the man who fixes this issue.

Well, it turns out all I had to do was deselect application control from my catalyst control center. The game is running at max settings with an average of 120-130 fps.
I suspect the application's settings were becoming somewhat erroneous due to their age in comparison with my video card's.
Thanks for all the help, and all the timely responses.
A+ team, and I hope this helps someone in the future with any such related performance issues.

No such luck, I'm afraid.
I tried both turning off the overclock and setting the maximum FPS to 58 and I've seen maybe an FPS or two's improvement. 22ish, up from 20.

I see an option to 'force single threading' in the configuration menu, and I've enabled it but there seems to be little difference (if any) in FPS lag. I'm not sure this is what you meant, but I decided to meddle anyway. 
Also, I tried turning on/off vertical sync and that also appears to have no effect.
As for the game settings, everything is disabled and all sliders are at their lowest.

cRPG Technical problems / CRPG Running Poorly on a High End Machine
« on: May 21, 2012, 03:10:52 pm »
As the title suggests, I am experiencing performance issues on a machine which exceed the recommended specifications for playing cRPG.
The issue is frame-rate-born, and not that of ping. I experience ping anywhere in the ranges of 30ms to 100ms. Which, though not ideal, are well within the typical averages of my connection's bandwidth allocation.
I have updated my monitor, motherboard, and video card's drivers just last night, so there shouldn't be an issue surrounding out of date software (though I am open to suggestions surrounding such things, should there be a possible solution within the topic). Also, my windows is also currently up to date with SP1 and congruent updates.
I will list my hardware specifications in order to help narrow down/identify possible/known hardware compatibility issues.
My specifications are as follows:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (Totally legit, no foolin')
AMD Radeon HD 6950 overclocked to 1350/900 MHz at 40-45 degrees Celsius
Intel i7 3770k running at 3.5 GHz -- also 40-45 degrees Celsius.
16.0 GB of DDR3 RAM at 1866 MHz (Kingston)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA3 6GB/s 7200RPM 32M Cache Internal Hard Drive
I suspect the problem may be with backward compatibility, as any and all other video games with newer coding seem to run as intended. This theory is concoted on the basis that the computer I upgraded from can run cRPG quite a bit more effectively (20-30 FPS' worth of more effectively) than my current computer can; even on the lowest settings versus my old computer's mid range video settings.
I feel I should also mention that I have installed Warband though Steam. Not sure if that little tidbit will be of any help, but there it is.
Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
