OMG!! I just played NC for 4 hours straight and the client didn't crash once!(Must be a bug :lol: ). How does a dev team get to the status of getting praise for accomplishing something so fundamental as making a game run without crashing...hahahah.

Anyway, good work KK

ive crashed 3 times so far, gotta remember pops are low atm due to crap2pay

though ihave had crashes replaced with bad fps for most part

Assuming they haven't changed the % to runners ratio (last figure I know was 100% = 1000 runners - current server pops are 30%, 10%, 30%, 10%), it looks like the vast majority of people are in (ie. as I suspected it's only a small minority having problems with click2pay)

Well today i played 16 hours of NC and only got 1 fatal during that time, and that wasn't until the last hour. :)

How do you play 16 hours?

Isn't that a little obsessed and sad? :wtf:

Well left my client running from when i woke up till about 30mins ago, playing on and off during the day but to see how long my client could stay connected without getting a FRE. With NC1 i couldn't go more than an hour without getting one, so i am pretty impressed so far :)

didnt crash either, but i have Screen freezes ....
It looks like i get fatal but it just goes on then, still those screen freeze + apu = dead

yah, I'm getting like 40fps when the screen is really busy (i.e. a full pit of scorps at el farid), a hell of a lot better than the 10fps I used to get. I usued to have the freeze problem until I got a better GFX card though. Gforce5700...Piece o shite but it works for nc

It's all good :)

The old 'move .pak's to root directory and copy folder' dual-running clients still works and I've been playing for 2 hours moving stuff around from char to char on different accounts . OK my athlon2000xp and 256 megs of ddr struggle from time to time , but
NOT
A
SINGLE
FRE

Nice job devs .

I can ask to get the FRE´s back if you want them badly ??

I sold them to some homeless bum in the streets the other day...
