Subject: AoS Fixes Approved - includes dial up lag fix !!! Author: Darkstone News [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Thu, Apr 03 2003, 07:37pm From UO.com FYI The publish that’s been on the Great Lakes shard earlier this week—the one that we’re sure you dial-up users have been waiting for—is finally approved for re-release to Great Lakes. The minor issue that appeared when previously published to Great Lakes, involving mounting an ethereal pet when not in human form, has been resolved. We’ve posted it before, but here’s a quick reminder but here’s what’s in this publish: Fixed a problem that was causing too much data to be sent to the user. This fix will greatly reduce lag for players on dial-up connections! The Harrower will now perform its drain attack. We’ve added a fix that should prevent players from experiencing the “blackholing” issue. Pre-AoS items that add to stats will no longer add those stats permanently to characters, but will lose their bonuses after the charges run out. Characters who die while in monster form will no longer be lootable. The Doom boss gauntlet should now re-set itself correctly. Houses that have been re-possessed by an in-game support rep (in the case of a player being taken to jail, for instance) will now be able to be transferred back to the player. Fixed another issue causing some teleporters and doors to become static and unusable (note that this fix is separate from another door fix published last month!) Locking down an overweight container will no longer cause “locked down!” barks to appear. The House Placement Tool no longer thinks it’s a spyglass. Fixed a crashing issue The fixes will be live on GL after coming up from its Thursday morning maintenance. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we plan to implement these fixes to all AoS-enabled shards beginning on Friday morning CST with the North America shards. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So we should get this patch on either Friday or Saturday, depending on if they remember that we are a day ahead of the rest.
