Patch Notes 11/11/2017

[Darks63]

When you say that the mobs will insult you now what does that mean exactly? Speech bubbles with lore friendly taunts or audio insults like the ones your toons yell when they get hit? Will monsters or animals be talking too?

Oh and GJ fixing the bolster its nice to not lose half my health when moving within a rvr lake. I haven't tested it yet but do the pets still disappear between lake zones ex BI to Chrace and vice versa?

is there any chance on getting .exe with all optimisations but multithreading unabled? having some issues. prolly cause of higher CPU loads

[lokenoth]

Wargrimnir I noticed that the zone being unable to lock via 5 stars and 4 BO if one side has 60% or more AAO? has that been disabled / enabled or mentioned elsewhere?

It is in one of previous hotfixes or patches.

Thanks was wondering where it was as it caught a lot of us by surprise, we had to get told by a GM in game as to why the zone wasn't locking. XD as the entirety of destro on at the time had no clue!

Do I have to delete this 4gb tool and somehow reinstall it with the new war.exe? Because I used this on my old war.exe and I am worried if it would limit my game to 4gb now? Do I have to consider something? Is there still some registry linked to anything thats called War.exe?

No. That tool modifies the exe, this one is already modified. You don't need it if you download the new war.exe

[Noticethat]

Using the new exe, I'm in Ostland with like 50 people on each side, lagging pretty hard with everything turned down and ability effects on party only. My ram usage is only going up 1250mb

ostland have alot of stupid trees. very laggy location. move your camera up and down and watch your fps. if u have forced AA on this trees will literally kill your fps

Tried the .exe.
Sitting in a zone that is not active RvR (Praag WC) zone shows War CPU idle at 48% and GPU at 37% compared to old exe of 5% and 7% respectively.
win10 16gb i5 running at 4400 Mhz.
Reverted the .exe

Around 40% CPU load you should expect, when playing a 3D game. Newer games use much more.
Your GPU load seems off to me, having around 20% when standing in IC.

And something like 5% load you only have when tabbed out.

When exiting the game with the new WAR.exe, i got the following exception in Visual Studio:

The thread 0x20c4 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Unhandled exception at 0x005C0BF4 in WAR.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

It doesn't seem to affect anything important though.

But i get a feeling that the multithreaded code that was included in the client, wasn't fully tested by Mythic back then. Will stick to it nevertheless.
