Nearly Unplayable After Patch

Peeps,
Starting to look and smell a lot like the Vanguard fiasco...
If any of you are on the fence about this game, give it a week or two. This last patch has rendered by game play useless on Doomsayer. Vanguard was more stable than AoC at launch. Albeit VG was half of a game, AoC is risking premature death with the abundance of latency issues.
FC really needs to get their act together, /OOC is not looking pretty, and people are starting to take their frustrations out on other players via chat.
In the last hour, I have died from lag 10 times. That never happened at VG launch... And to think, things were going so smoothly up until now

I heard about this on the main forums as well... do you mind giving a little more information for those of us that don't have the game yet to experience it for ourselves?
By that description I would think it's a very temporary thing, though tbh I can't tell other than the fact that there are lag issues.
I have 4 people playing at my house right now.. 4 different machines and none have seen any performance issues added with the new patch. You might want to check and make sure you are using the most recent video drivers, the new nvidia drivers are only a few weeks old.
edit.. we are all four on Set... I guess the issue could also be server specific.

Sorry, I dont play the game; just trying to be helpful.
No the new drivers arent only a few weeks old,maybe you are thinking of the beta drivers that arent really attached to anything but sli problems,also you have 4 internet connections for all your m8s?man try get out more....
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

I admit, I have said a lot of negative things about AoC on this forums during last week, and all of it stands. HOWEVER the stability of the client (along with the graphics) was one thing that I praising. After the latest patch (build 49995) I have had 20% fps increase. Since start of early access I have had no crashes and perhaps 5 disconnects. So your results may very depending on your machine/network region.
And please... I was there at Vanguard launch, AoC may be lacking but in some areas, but it is nowhere near the state crapiness Vanguard was in at launch.
Ps. Darn, did I just defend AoC? *siiiiigh*
Well both THOG (PvE)- <Playing in the Field of the Dead> and Cimmerian (PvP) - <I got my characters in Wild Lands> I am not witnessing any problems as of yet, been on both for about 2 hours a piece and no disconnects here so far.
However getting ganked like a champ on Cimm, kids must be out of school
Game runs far better for me after the june 9 patch than it did before. Framerates are up, no studdering at all. Others with the same graphicc card (GF 8800 gts 320) report the same.
"You are the hero our legends have foretold will save our tribe, therefore please go kill 10 pigs."
The game is actually running way better for me since todays patch. Shadows now seem to be working properly and I've gone from about 25 frames per second to about 50 without changing any of my settings.
I'm running it on high settings with 2x aa and 16x af at 1440x900 with character shadows only on. My frame rate drops to about 28 when I turn all shadows on.
My system specs are:
AMD athlon 64x2 4000+
2 gigs ddr2 800
evga geforce 9600 gt
windows vista home premium
So as you can see I do not have a very high end system. But the game looked good before todays patch for me, and now it looks incredible, and is running very smoothly.
Yeah, I'd do Betty....
But I'd be thinking about Wilma.
Strange... I haven't experienced any new problems since downloading the patch. In fact, the game seems to be running a lot better. I guess I am just lucky since I seem to keep avoiding most of the technical issues.
I am also really impressed by the number of fixes and enhancements this patch brought about. Hopefully Funcom keeps it up!
Since this last patch, the game is unplayable! It crashes after 5 minutes playing!! I experienced crashes before in other occasions but now is very, very worse!!!
LoBoMau - did you clear your cache as was suggested earlier in this thread?
I have no issues either, and the game is better than ever before!
i'm good too. the latest patch made the game even better.
as far as the Vanguard comment, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Runs excellent for me. Can't tell if it's a difference from before the patch as I've never had any problems whatsoever. I'm not however saying you aren't having problems. Sucks for you though.
No I didnt, and I can find only 2!! But I wil try it!
The driver I am running is less than 5 weeks old. I guess you dont consider 5 a few... I do. As far as 4 computers here, it isn't normally the case. There are usually 2, but my brothers are over with their machines. Internet isn't an issue. I manage an ISP and I also host a LAN party here every summer for my gaming team, we are already set up with plenty of desk-space with easy access to internet, sometimes we like to get together and play. Although we accomplished a lot more rock band than AOC tonight, we did a few quests together and I didn't see any new performance issues... that isn't to say I didn't see any new issues of various other types.
for the record, I get out plenty... Not sure what about my post would imply that I didn't.
