Maintenance for the week of March 10:
• [COMPLETE] PC/Mac: NA and EU megaservers for patch maintenance – March 10, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 10:00AM EDT (14:00 UTC)
So after downloading the patch and started playing I get crashes every 5 min (twice so far) and also a random kick to log in screen when character was loading.
honestly, for me a lot has been fixed. I didn't have to "cmd m" anything on startup, didn't have to do multiple clicks to put the password in and for me the biggest thing so far, NO SPIN. I'm getting 35-60 fps depending on where I am. I crashed once in a 30 minute play session, but I'll need to test more to see how frequent that's going to be.
My crashes have been to the desktop and I haven't seen a crash report or error message after a crash for years. Also, my crashes started happening with zero addons installed. Literally not installed, not just disabled. I did start installing updated addons one by one and they didn't increase the frequency of the crashes.
STILL the mac client is severely limited in how many addons can be loaded. I get "serer timeout error" attempting to log in without disabling half of the addons I was running pre-patch. Most of them and the library dependencies have been updated (I won't run an addon unless it has timely updates), but now I have to disable of lot of them just to play the game.
What's up with that? My friends on PC have no problem in running dozens of them concurrently, nothing like the 20 or so I ran pre-patch and a good deal more than the 14 or so I can run now. My system has 32GB of memory and I'm trying this with absolutely nothing else other than the usual background services running.
Frame rate is worse.
Latency to server is worse (in AU I used to get a relatively good 250ms, now it's 320+)
On the up side I haven't crashed yet, but seems i"m unusual there.
This morning (pre-update) I crashed two times while loading in to my character.
After update Ive crashed 6 times so far
No disconnections since big patch day
Edit1: upped my crash counter to 4
Edit2: upped my crash counter to 5
Edit3: upped my crash counter to 6 (after a reboot)
Edit4: Finally got in after deleting LibChatMessage but STILL A SPINNING TOON
