It turns out the problem is linked to which client you are using.
But we found out how to fix it.
If you are using the old client, things will look much better (imo) after applying the fix.

2 minutes ago, Stardog765 said:Well I am not sure if this was the problem but you might try this.
I was looking at the gamesetting.cfg file. On the Steam client the setting vbo_enabled=1 was disabled in the same file on the stand alone client.
I changed that from 0 to 1 on the stand alone client and now its working.
Try that
Yes, it worked. Thanks!
I guess they should put that in the next patch or so.

Here are two screenshots taken at the same time with the characters next to eachother.
(same PC, same graphic settings)
old client
steam client

I have the same problem.
Steam charachter view looks much better than old client.
They both have the same Graphics and Adv graphics settings.
How can I fix the old client view?

Im having fun on Harmony and Melody. Half building a deed and half traveling about the islands.
While I am grinding a few necessary skills somewhat (building a rowing boat right now), I know I will never have the time or energy to again grind to levels that equal my main on Xana. And that is fine.
Eventually, I will probably have enough of this noob life and go back to the old main.
My hope is that when the steam launch settles into some kind normality, the devs will throw the old players a bone and create a Harmony-like server in the old cluster. So we get a fresh new server to go to with our old mains. That new server experience is always the best part of the game and we havent had a new server since Xana was launched in 2014.
Yes, yes. I know the argument against a new server is that it will dilute the player base even further. But the player base on the old islands is already spred so thin that it wont matter IMO.
-
I think the server separation is necessary.
Let the new guys get a chance to feel important. That is what will keep them playing.
(And I always hate to see rare/fantastic stuff in starter towns because players cannot build that and it diminishes player accomplishments)

I have a charachter on both Harmony and Melody. The light seems more yellow on Harmony.
Is there a difference in the server settings or am I imagining things?

6 hours ago, Grimtide said:For me I am new to the game as of yesterday. I downloaded it and made a character, joined the forum. During this process it didn't say the character name I selected was taken... Completed account / character name creation but could not log in due to network connection error. I left it over night because well I have been online gaming for ever and I am sympathetic to all of the issues the dev team might be having on launch day.
Anyhow today I try and log in and it tells me that the character I created yesterday already exists and is not linked to my steam account. Anyone know if there is a work around that I can do on my end to get this to work? Or do I have to wait until they patch this because it might be a common situation?
thanks gang. Good Gaming!!
GrimtideYou created the charachter in the old (pre-steam) way. And you will not be able to use it through steam.
But if you download the old launcher, you can play on any server with that charachter.
I made the same mistake yesterday and I have been playing this game since 2007.
The instructions were very unclear.
-
Logging in worked fine for me today.
New GUI is working well but might need some polishing.
We had lag on Har, but it might be due to over 860 players on at the same time on the server.
Overall, not too bad I think.

Ah, thanks!
I dont mind using the old client.
-
Can you delete a character that you created via the launcher button?
I still want to use the name on Steam.
I paid prem for it so I dont known how long it will take for the name to expire by itself. (forever?)

10 minutes ago, sulfurblade said:What i did however i have not gotten in yet....
I click on the down arrow with three dots... It pulled up the old registration and thought this can't be right
Went back to the launcher saw there were Written instructions in the window "Saying Register Here" and then log in with name and password....
so I clicked said link created my new account got the 2 month premium option plus silver.
restarted the launcher because it still didn't have a password field...
After restarting still didn't have a password field so put in the account name and it did the same thing the stand alone launcher does
Trying to Connect infinity or sometimes it says network error try again....
Ah, the launcher window was constantly blank so I never saw that information.

How do you register a charachter on Steam?
Or dont you have to register one at all?
Surely the name has to be checked to see that it has not already been used?
The logical approach is to register via the button on the Steam launcher itself. Is this the correct way?
And how do you pay prem for your Steam charachter?
Via the old Wurm shop?
Somewhere in Steam itself??
The confusion meter is currently at Red Alert level.

Just now, Jonjon said:Got premium for my new character. Still can't get in
did you use the old wurm shop?
-
Payed prem on my new server charachter through the normal shop.
Still cant connect to server.

I got past the null crash.
Didnt do anything. Got to the starting screen. Then there was some problem and I got kicked out.
But a small step closer!
edit: At least there is a loading progress bar. But I get some network error.

This brings back memories of the launch of Deli.
People hade to go there by boat from the southern shore of Indy, but there were technical problems and the server start was postponed 24h. There was a mess at the sea border and people fell into the water and it was night time.
Sweet memories.

Aah, you are very wise.
I have indeed progressed back to the null error.
-
Now I cant even start the launcher.
But it says something about "Failed to get update information." so maybe it will be fixed when they push out the client update.

Do we register via the old registration page for the new servers?
-
Game just became available on Steam
-
Btw, it currently is winter ingame. Will it be so for the Steam servers as well?
The game looks much better when it is summer and could make a better first impression on new players.

Ok Nordlys, what is your parameter setting for the thing that Stardog discovered?
