Want to come back but are these things fixed?

[donjn]

I want to come back but there are several things that drive me crazy. Are they fixed or will they be fixed soon?

1. I could swear Kingdom Reborn used to have full widescreen support, meaning the whole playfield was in widescreen. Last I checked, they took that away and the playfield is 4:3.

2. Sometimes in KR clicking and dragging just stops working

3. Massive slowdowns running through the streets with Luna shops, nomatter what specs your computer is. I have a theory that KR is really built ON TOP of the original 2d engine, and does not use much of your video card.

4. Sometimes logging out at home or in an inn does not "free" your character from that world so you can't log in with other characters.

1. You are right about #1 - no widescreen support. I need the black real estate, but can see others might not.

2. and 3. Go to the Stratics KR forums, get the info to optimize the KR client and download the BB Enhanced UI mod. It's wonderful and has some nice features not available in the default client or any version of 2D.

4. Are you referring to the log-out timers? I never have an issue logging out, except outside one my house/Inn or whenever one of the log out timers kick in from hitting something. Dunno other than that.

I have this issue too but I play with the 2d client. Often when I log out in my home, I can't log in with another character. It appears to possibly be related to agro from creatures.. even if a mongbat outside my home has me targeted, I can't log in with another character. And sometimes maybe I was fighting something and recalled home.. and can't auto-log out. It's *really* irritating. Sometimes I can log back in with the original character a couple times and it will finally stick, and let me log in with another character.

Well, there is a 2 minute battle timer that must expire after attacking anything, while logging out at your house or an Inn. There is a different 5 minute timer that must expire if you are not in your house (or friended house or Inn) before you can log another character in. It should have nothing to do with something else aggroing you unless you've actually damaged it.

Yeah, I can just run around my home, then try to log out and it won't auto-log. And I don't always have to wait out a 2 or 5 minute timer. Sometimes I can log back in with the same character, log right back out, and then I can log in with another character.

Also, maybe it's not being aggro'd by monsters (it was just a theory). At first I thought my house was bugged because I could log in, take a few steps in another direction and log out.. and it would then auto-log. But the results were not consistent, so I nixed that idea.
