    The latest on game performance

    Full multi-threading would be indeed a huge task and complete rewrite; will not happen. But multi-instance queues may be possible. Use a new queue for each new quest instance and you solve all overload issues. The cost would be that 'global' world messages would be not available. Much to change...

    The latest on game performance

    That's a perfect summary. Nearly hidden behind the lines in a few old developer posts you could find some examples that one quest 'clogged' the message queue for the whole world. It seems the ancient core game system system uses one queue and one dispatcher server-wide which under heavy load...

    new world names break alternative launcher - Fix

    DDO-ML works fine, I just used it. (The 'log in straight to a character' works again too since a month). Maybe you missed a 'Patch game' ?

    A quick update.

    Thanks for the info, but in my opinion this first step is another dead horse. You still try to implement lag fixes on the application level of the game, meaning changes to the high level scripts/code/dungeons. It is obvious that the low level core systems itself have serious problems. Your...

    Video settings seem to be locked now

    Gamma adjustments for Full Screen (Windowed) used to work. Something was changed a month ago with an game update and now it will do nothing. Would be great to see this feature again.

    can anyone think why players "name color" is changing,

    Same here. BTW: For me this happens only with the 64 bit client and one reason I held on the 32 bit client a long time.

    new world names break alternative launcher - Fix

    I think this is a thing that SSG changed for transfer time, no workaround possible and it happens also with other launchers. Maybe it was possible to launch an already packed character? ;)

    new world names break alternative launcher - Fix

    The new server names now contains spaces which will/may prevent alternative launchers from connecting to the worlds. (Examples for Argonessen) AFAIK all launcher will start ddolauncher.exe with following parameters: ddolauncher.exe -s Servername -g GameDirectory This now becomes...

    Unsinful’s Warlock Guide

    Hmm, I did it with Celestial to Fey just a month ago. May be a Dark Bargainer / Dark Powers issue?

    Unsinful’s Warlock Guide

    Nice guide, but one thing is wrong/outdated. You can change your pact choice like a normal feat via Fred.

    Server Transfer is an Object Lesson in why many of us don't trust SSG

    The first time since ages that I think that SSG did a good job with this critical process. The Guide is good IF you read it thoroughly and also try to understand it. Some details like additional free character slots are missing but overall I think the information and the transfer mechanism are...

    "In the Belly of the Beast" still bugged?

    The acid damage while underwater swimming is really high (as too high) in reaper difficulties (even R1) but nearly neglectable on EE. This feels like a scaling bug. Just run it on EE for the saga rewards :)

    GPU problem on title screen

    I bet you have insane high FPS in this screen. Limit the max FPS rate in your GPU driver settings to match your monitor max refresh rate.

    U70 Preview 2: Performance Adjustments to Repeating+Dual Crossbow Styles

    Reading about this change I had to search the old forum for my posts, which are sadly still relevant. Dear devs: You still try to implement lag fixes on the application level of the game, meaning changes to the high level scripts/code. It is obvious that the low level core system itself has...

    What GPU to play DDO with Ultra High settings?

    A 1050 TI will reach over 60 FPS (over 120 if you disable AA) in 1440. The best price/performance card for DDO would be an AMD RX 6000 at the moment; i would not buy anything weaker. Take a look at a GPU chart and at least quadruple the framerates (they are measured for modern game engines) for...
