    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.


  2. 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.


  3. 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)

    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!!

    You 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.


  5. 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.

    Unfortunately by making that character premium you've guaranteed it'll be there forever.  With that premium ongoing, you might just want to use the stand-alone client to play it.  You can still choose to go to the new servers (Which aren't limited to just Steam players).

     

    Ah, thanks!

    I dont mind using the old client.

     


  7. 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?)

    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.


  9. 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.


  10. 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.


  11. 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.
