Latest Patch Ultimately disconnects my iMac#805
Ok. Major problems with the new patch on my system. Did a bug report.
I am running an older imac intel chip with good physical ethernet internet connection. Ran previous version of the game just fine. 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, Radeon Pro 580 8 GB, 24 GB 2400 MHz DDR4, lots of space on my SSD. I am running Ventura 13.7.8 (22H730) though..which is older MacOS. Still, the last game version worked fine.
Downloaded a fresh from the web site install (with the mini map update) after trying the auto game download route. Made no difference.
Tried new installs a few times. Made no difference. Rebooted my system. Rebooted my modem. Zapped the parameter ram.
All system processes are very slow. Like very slow on loading, more than previous map by a long shot.
Once in…at the personna screen, this is unresponsive for minutes. Once active, meaning clickable, it again takes long time to get to battle screen. Battle screen finally shows. Once here if I get in I am continually despawned after about 30 seconds. If I sit at the choose battle screen I get a message: Chat Host (57) Not connected. When clicked upon the game quits.
As I mentioned I did the usual on my iMac. Restarted computer. Rebooted my modem. Checked my providers internet routing/speeds these were all good.
So…the new patch has some problem.
Could it be the memory? I have seen some slow loading for sure; but not too bad; rest of game seems to be ok; 3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7
No…not memory. Here’s what I found out. If I load the latest beta instead of campaign it all works (though Training does not). I did note that if I get in the campaign the map says it is “Day 104, campaign 218”. but we are in a new campaign. ??? Anyway… The game freezes and tosses me after a certain time. The interface is very slow, like it’s trying to figure out what to do. I think there’s something with the map changes. Again …the game worked fine with my set up before.
I get the day 104 stuff too, is like that till new map; OH check your CITY MAP filters ( 4th button on big map) Be sure that is turned off or unchecked
@delems On your Mac client, did this download properly and without error?
Yes, everything good; only noiced a couple tings; 1, the graphics seem to get corrupt sooner and 2, performance is game like spawning in is sluggish and ping bouncing all around; but basically ok
On PC. Loading into the game is slow, ping bounces around, had to reconfigure specs to get fps back to where it should be. Can confirm
This is regarding my initial post. I talked with Kardhek a bit on this. But before that I finally thought of perhaps changing the routing to the game using my VPN. I changed it to Seattle and voila it all worked. However, whatever routing happens using my local non VPN selected connection, results in very slow game loading and interace action and finally always being dropped 20-30 seconds into the game. So…for now it’s use the VPN trick to play.
