Mega Server test Tuesday 29 April 23.00 CEST/5 PM EST

Recommended Posts

This solution doesnt work for me, when I retry pack update, it still will just remake them both and tell me the same error

 

May be a different problem but make sure you have all launcher closed,  then move your packs directory to packs.bak or somesuch so you can put it back then redownload from the first post in this thread (there was an update to the client).  Hopefully that'll work.

 

Moving packs directory is a bit more brute force than just removing the test graphics files but maybe it's another file in there that's causing the issue.

 

One person in technical threads suggested they had to use a vpn, no clue why that would be the case.

Okay, so I was wrong - deleting (deleted EVERYTHING in the folder) only got me a little further before I got the error again.

Well only was there for a bit.  No 'test' option so no fun to be had.  Nearly died to a ven dog while wearing armor and didn't feel like foraging for cotton for the next few hours to try and live.  Also didn't want to suicide away to explore as I would loose the few possessions I arrived with.

On my end, the Twitch stream isn't working, the client isn't working... Bummer.

Well there's no point exploring because that's probably not the final map. And since there's no tools there's no fun to be had making nub shacks. I just logged lol.

Really unfortunate test so many people cant even get the client to download, regardless of the posted solutions that dont seem to help.

I too was having issues downloading the test_graphics.jar file. It wasn't until I also deleted the old graphics.jar that everything started working again!

I finally got mine to work, but I don't know which thing I did fixed it.  I uninstalled Wurm and reinstalled it using the regular client, and let the graphics packs download in the normal client.  I reinstalled both 32 and 64 bit Java (I'm on a 64bit machine) and forced Wurm to use the 64 bit version.  Then, after deleting the test pack files and restarting the test client, it worked.  Hopefully that info helps someone.

Well that was entertaining.  I like the map, quite a lot of variation in hill and mountain styles.   Couldn't tell how much inland water there was or if it's just a big ring.  No real lag other than typical client lag when you've loaded too much so after about the 8th spawn I had to restart client.  The server itself was smooth.

 

Ended up doing spawn 1 last and ran into Sme just as the server was about to shut down.  Good to see you Sme :).

She sent a friend to play with:

 

[17:26:54] The venerable red dragon moves in to attack you.
[17:27:00] You try to hit a The venerable red dragon.
[17:27:00] The venerable red dragon moves in to attack you.

 

She gave me a sword and shield just before so it was a fair fight,  not like trying to kill the sea serpent with a toolbelt.

 

[15:33:21] Venerable nessie takes no real damage from the hit to the lower body.

[15:33:29] Venerable nessie bites you deadly hard in the right hand and damages it.
[15:33:29] You are dead.

Perhaps these problems with the client not downloading properly to be able to connect is why the numbers of this test were much lower than the first time.

I deny all knowledge of this that you speak of! ^_^


 


It was great fun and the server had to go out with a bang.... or a bite..... or two  0=)

No real lag for me but I did spend most of the hour in a row boat rowing around the shores of a huge lake. Was a bit disappointed not to find any really great waterside settlement areas, because mostly I saw a lot of very very steep very very tall rocky cliffs with just a few trees on top. I did find one nice earthen prominence that stretched out from the rocky cliff into the water that was fairly flat and looked like a good candidate for terraforming and building a castle but only the one in an hour and you had to climb up and over the very steep high mountain to get anywhere, certainly no way for wagons unless one tunneled through the mountain. 


 


However some of the islands on the lake looked like superb places to build a home although a bit lonely if like me you like to have neighbours.
