Beta is unplayable for me

By unplayable I mean the following:

1) I get kicked/logged out of whatever char I entered with about once a minute.

2) I see not battle animation and apparently most of time can't use and speical abilities

3) some NPC's do not show up.

4) when NPC do show up I can't talk to them at all.

 

anyone know what is going on?

    Not sure mine was a little laggy. I played for a couple hours took a break and now it crashes to desktop everytime i try to log in. My wife still can't even get authenticated.

  • Mine doesn't crash it just puts me back to server or character selection.  Or if its a crash its a soft one not a CTD.

     

    The crashes make it completely unplayable, but even it was stable I can seem to interact with much of anything.

    You must be on a laggy server. I played on 3 diff servers and only had sleight lag on 1of them, no probs aside from queues. But one of them was taken down for maintenence during the time I was on.

     

    The server you are on probably needs maintenence as well. Try a different server?

     I tried 7 different servers including a lower pop oceanic one.

    I haven't had any problems at all, except maybe a little lag during crowded PQs.  After playing the preview weekend and the OB, I haven't experienced any CTDs, memory leaks, nor extreme lag.  Maybe its a hardware/driver problem?  I have a mid-range system and it seems to handle WAR with no problems, where-as I had quite a bit of lag/ctd/memory leaks with the released version of AOC. Make sure you have updated all of your drivers, and if you still have problems, try posting for some tech help at warhammeralliance.com.  My computer specs: Pentium 4 3ghz, 2gb ram, geforce 8800 GT, Windows Vista Basic, and the game runs quite smoothly at the highest allowed graphical setting.

    Do you meet the minimum system requirements?

     I tried updating nvidia driver that did not help.  The game runs fine, a little jumpy but there are a lot of people in satrting area.

     

    No it bumps me for no reason and the interface itself is funadmentally broke.  I wouldn't surpised if ts a driver issue or something.  But I am not seeing real crashes or performance problems.

    Myself and 2 Friends have been playing last night(PW) and all today and have only had slight lag at times, and a total of 1 Crash.

    There has been a few pathing issues and a couple stuck mobs but overall it's been almost perfection.

    That would be the smart thing. You would be helping everyone.

  • Looks like this is an NForce motherboard issue

     

    Thanks for the wayhammer alliance tip.

  • For anyone else who has this problem.  I was able to fix it by disabling Checksum Offload on my Nforce Network adapter.  A full driver update of the MB was not necessary.

     

    Whole thing seems to work now.

    good to hear it works now, did you reported this to the Warhammer dev team? So they know this is an issue and can fix it for other players in the future?
