The New Retail Update Crashes Client Side

[basiah]

Abilities were broken with that patch as well, trying to find a fix atm

[Flunklesnarkin]

Bluekirby is testing out a patch and should know if it works tomorrow.

He's doing a fresh install / patch to live server to make sure.

nice to talk with you on rizon on the problem and hope you can get some work done on it when you have reinstalled your os again

so with Flunklesnarkin back up file I'll be able to play with out it crashing?

[Flunklesnarkin]

From what I heard it will allow you to log in but not use abilities or weaponskills.

Bluekirby is testing a patch right now I believe.

[Ayame]

ah ok thank you

[basiah]

If you make a macro for a weaponskill you can still use it, only issue now is specifically job abilities

[mvd1987]

just wait for blue to fix it in the server, so all players can update normally.

and then all old players need to update so its no use to apply the patch here since you will have to update again when blue fixed it in the new rev.

its a problem that is beeing applyed to the server and not the client so.


greetings michael

I have the game working without crashes but it would put everyone in the same boat at the moment...no JAs WS or Magic (and by extension probably no pet commands) in the menus. I'm trying to figure out what changed...the size of the packets has changed but not the offsets based on the information I have. Just changing the size isn't fixing the issue, and injecting a known good packet from retail isn't helping either.

If I didn't know the amount of effort it takes I would almost suggest to start a darkstar client
