Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Ophannus]

Don't expect any info after the update all next week. It's Golden Week in Japan and its a time where pretty much everyone is with family at home(businesses are closed and shit; it's like a Xmas/Easter/Memorial Day/July 4th equivalents all rolled into a week. I hope there's more in this update patch that meets the eye. /DRK updates, new 2hrs etc.

What if they have bugs to fix after Monday Update? Game will be screwed for 1 week ? >.>;

[Ophannus]

Adoulin has been out for like a month and there are still bugs from the initial patch that have yet to be fixed.


tl;dr This is SE.

[Hitou]

I've heard there's this bug where beetles have one foot facing 180 degrees in the wrong direction that hasn't been fixed since the games inception. I think they've classified it as a "feature" at this point.

No worries, Beetle is PC limitations, will never get fixed, just like shit performance on modern cards.

Also still waiting on fire weather effect on PC to get fixed.

What's wrong with it?

[Kaisha]

What's wrong with it?

Weather effect spasms at the edges of the screen. Any time I've asked when I'm with others while in a same w/ fire up, they report the same thing on PC.

[arus2001]

Never seen that, so arguably a vid card issue on your end.

And the real fix fire weather needs is to actually spawn.

[Kaisha]

Could be, but it started after the update in September, with neither a change on either my Mac or PC. Only thing in common are both running nVidia, and running vanilla FFXI (no Windower), but they're not even on the same drivers to boot. Never bothered asking what other folks I asked were running at the time.

[arus2001]

At the very least, I know Nvidia drivers have had issues with XI after a certain point (like invisible models), so even if they aren't the same cross-PC, they may be sharing similar flaws. Playing on a friend's PC, I'd get certain cavernous architecture that'd be all jaggedy and sometimes flicker. Just nothing to the extent of that vid.

[Kaisha]

Jaggedy edge thing comes from setting a high background resolution. Avatar glow effects and shit doesn't scale with resolution, so it turns into a retarded looking edge-filter instead.

[Kincard]

Wait, that's a glitch? I always thought that was intentional because when it's really hot stuff gets distorted in the distance (mirages etc).

[Hitou]

Yeah, it looks that way on my computer too. Fire weather is rare enough I never really pay attention to it, but I think it was like that on my old comp too. Though, I usually had weather off since it lagged really bad with earth/ice weathers. Both comps have/had Nvidia cards, so could just be that.

[Seha]

That's normal fire weather, it's like Kincard says o_O

That's the kind of effect I'm used to seeing. Something more subtle, rather than spasming, and it's what I get on my PS2 in the same zone as my prior vid during single-fire.

[calinz]

I've had the "spasmic fire weather glitch" for years, pretty sure it's tied to having supersampled HD res, and/or mip map setting to 3, but I can't be bothered to test since I can't stand the ugliness of the non-supersampled game textures.

[NynJa]

All I saw was
DOMARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[dasva]

I don't even see a weather effect in the 2nd vid... I think it's supposed to be all miragy. Maybe it's not a PC problem but a PS2 limitation

[Fwahm]

That's definately glitchy; my computer has no sign of that at all, with weather on and everything.

I get the same thing, but it's only in some areas, other areas the fire effect is fine. Valkurm is most noticeable to me.
