One thing with the old client, gotta run windowed using eqw.exe or secrets mods. If anything in windows takes control in full screen, you crash. Even a popup on the status bar crashes in full screen. If UAC dims screen (or anything changes gamma) you crash. So need to change UAC settings to not dim screen.

Working on a fix for the gamma change crash still and an all in one windows/full screen option.

Most of the causes of crashing while zoning got fixed like two weeks ago. People are reporting that they havent crashed zoning in over a week, since that patch.

Excellent. Haynar, how do you fix the loop 'd loops with the /fol command. Any char that is on auto follow has a random chance to do a loop, then reconnect with the char it is following.

As a non-developer, and what I witnessed after a 'fix' was the chars that were /fol were running very close to the target they were following. It's almost like they had (match target /fol speed +%). Just curious if you know what the fix is.

Most of loop d loops for me got fixed with netcode fixes. There was a lot going on, that was causing this. And it got me killed a few times.

I did not change anything for follow, other than fix the underlying issue with tbe netcode.

Thanks man! You are awesome! By chance did you ever work Shards of Dalaya? I played that a long time ago. It was really fun and it's amazing the content they came up with. Anyway, I was just wondering if you ever helped with their code.

I helped some with PL in their netcode several years ago. It delayed going into PL. Didnt totally fix it.

Search on their wiki for Haynar, and my custom sword i got as a reward comes up.

Get started. Pick something you enjoy. I have been coding stuff here and there for 20 years.

I am not near as good as most people. But I keep trying. And I believe that anything is possible to accomplish just about.
