Is EC still screwed up at spawns?

[Uriah Heep]

Off topic, but I set up a char in EC Thurs night and played him. Then Friday night when I logged in, had to reset eveything again, it didnt save. Then logged in tonight and it was the same mess, had to redo it all yet again. Default client. Wasn't this fixed?

I had no issues with freezing up or crashing with the redone default UI in the EC, even with soloed peerless monsters and stuff. I can try again late tonight or tomorrow to confirm.

I never have problems when it's just me and a t chest with 70 items or so - but wait until an EM spawn with 50 players running around and you open a public corpse with 10X that much loot and see what happens - are the developers going to say "working as intended" then?

What worries me is that since it doesn't seem to happen to everyone (or even a majority) or we would be hearing so many more people complaining about it, that it will be something they are not going to take the time to fix.

I am afraid of the "working as intended" since they and many others can't seem to reproduce it. I had been hoping that the new computer and fresh install would have taken care of it. I was also hoping that maybe it was only affecting one of my accounts, but I ended up taking a character from one of my other accounts and had the same problem.

I do not know what we can look at on our end to help them gather information for this.

I thought it was. That's really weird did you try going into the folder it keeps the profiles in and seeing if he has one there? In Documents/EA/UOStyngian/User Data/Your account name/Shard ?

Also be sure you aren't putting a " " space after your account name. If you do that it won't ever save anything.

And if you have 2 characters with the same name it rolls them into one.

Weird as hell. Today I log in and all is well. UO is gonna make me totally nuts!

It does me.

NO it seems every corpse has it's own... I've tried. In my house I have about 30 bone containers on the ground they EACH have to have EACH of my characters individually turn EACH and EVERY one of them off individually.

It needs a GLOBAL button to turn it off.

No I take that back what it NEEDS is for the DEV's to fix this issue ASAP I'm tired of not being able to enjoy many of the aspects of UO just because I chose to play in the EC.

now I've added a system that strips a container from colors, uses and loot sort if it has more than 100 items.

Thanks Pinco we'll give it a try.

 

[Yadd of Legends]

Thanks, Pinco, I'll try it too. Here's hoping the basic architecture of the old EC doesn't undermine your efforts

Would it be possible to have it as a toggle at least? Set to off by default?

I partook on an EM event at Legends this weekend using the default UI and didn't have any problems opening bodies.
But I noticed unusual lag when dying when the screen was crowded and at at least 5 different times, when there was heavy skirmish nearby, I completely froze in place, unable to react. The EC didn't die, but it took a good minute or two at each time for the screen to update and the EC respond to my commands again.
This last part was likely also influenced by the 250 MS average ping I have to Legends, but I never experienced such freezing in normal game play.

With the default UI and three clients running, Corgul's AOE attack slows the game significantly on my end, but it quickly recovers after the SFX of the attack dissipates. With two clients running, the slowdown that happens is almost the same as with 3.

Edit: To clarify, I was running a single EC instance during the EM event this Saturday.

not right now, besides the system is automated so why bother?

Did anybody get a chance to test Pinco's UI at the Atlantic EM event tonight? I know he had made some changes in the loot sort. It was running smoothly for me while I was playing, very little lag with a big crowd. But I missed the last part of the event and never got to open a major corpse to see how that worked.
