No that was a new account i made and tried to remake speed3b and it said the name was taken. Thats weird that it shows it on a different account.

But the one speed3b was on started with an 8.

I think I'll have it when this finishes installing
I tried to think what I had installed before the re-image,
Then it hit me.
I installed .net 2.0 (i have 1.1 on this image)
and the dx runtime files
so that I could play thad's tetris!

thats the directx file, not the regular 9.0c


*finished*
et voila, it works. :D

Is there anyway to delete the name or change it so i can recreate that on an account that ill know Karl?

Clown,

I wouldn't worry about what your name is for now--every time I restart the server, all the characters are going to be wiped anyway. When game mechanics are implemented this will change but for now when I start the server up again (likely, soon) you'll have to remake the account anyway. So just use a different name for now :)

Alright thats fine. Thanks for the info. I made a character "Clown Mage" and one with no name at all, lol. But its weird when ever i have client.exe running and say i open up an IE window or anything else the cpu usage of client.exe jumps from 5%-10% to what ever is available on my system, usually 90%-99%. So right now i have client.exe running and if i click on it jumps between 6% and 13% for an overall cpu usage of 25%-38%, and now as im typing client.exe is using anywhere above 88% for a total of 100%

Yeah the client doesn't "spin" very well--by this I mean it runs REALLY fast when you're not looking at it, so it goes bonkers and eats up your system resources. Also on my "to fix" list :)

brakeyboy-- 9sam1 is having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to figure out what's up. Download the patch I send you and mail me the debug log it generates as an attachment.

brakey and 9sam1, could you list your computer specs, specifically go to start>run>dxdiag, then click save all information, let it run and it will ask you to save it as a text file, then either send that file to karl or post the contents here

It works great. Got it to work before I got off the comp last night.
But uhh along with what someone said, is it possible to make it use as little resources as possible? (i.e. NOT full)
Cause i remember playing xen, it would always use 100%, when it honestly only needed like 10%, and this made my computer super hot (well, not hot, but the fans kicked into super uber mega high [Yes! it was really that fast.] gear and it was loud as hell, lol)
To fix it I just underclocked to the base 1ghz for cool 'n quiet :wink:

help plz

You have to select your server first, the prime server, then go to create account, click new account, type in a password for the account, then click new account again. Go to create character on the main menu, it prompts for the password again, so enter it, and create a character.


I just found you thad. Your sitting near the bottom of the normal map. If you just follow the grass pattern around then your just sitting there like a chair.

oh - suggestion for next version:
menus have default buttons enabled ;)
(when you hit enter it will accept the entry, like enter your password then hit enter, instead of always having to click)
