Unfortunate experiences with Release 7

Logged in on 26th, problems have all been persistent up to and including attempts just a few minutes ago.

- Fps in Owl's Head is so low, I can't talk to NPCs or move very well. (reported as bug)
- Never got outside Owl's Head
- I really want a map instead of a compass bar. The compass would be great IF I knew where I was going to begin - which isn't a problem, I suppose, because I can't get out of Owl's Head due to lag issues. Maybe I'll get to see the overland map someday.
- Transition from one music to another very abrupt and jarring. Unfortunate because the music is really pretty.

BUT
- The game graphics (what I've seen) are great.
- Other players have been as helpful as can be.

This is all in multi-player online mode. Does anyone have an idea if solo online might be less problematic?

 

If you have trouble with the loading screens freezing after leaving Owl's Head, set the game to the fastest setting. (it makes barely any difference anyway) see if that helps your loading issues, because that's how i fixed it. It will still crash on loads from time to time.

Single player might be better. It usually is. It depends on your setup. You didn't provide platform or specs so it's hard to know.

You really need a graphics card with at least 1GB of memory. The alpha isn't optimized.

And remember - if you have fun please remember to report it as a bug

 

I can say, that for me, single player is waaaay better than multi-player. I'd definitely give it a shot!
