SD crash

Aarkon Draco · Post by **Aarkon Draco** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 8:21 pm

i have the supposed "fix" and yet any time a SD starts spamming hips i crash

it only does it when its repeatedly spammed the occasional hide like NPC mobs ( shadows in the nexus for example ) dont crash me its the spamming of it that does like certain players do. i have a new puter that runs NWN2 smooth so i have all the bells and whistles on NWN1 on as its far less demanding than NWN2 anyone who does not crash please post your settings and what overrides you have plz

my only override currently is the "fix" that apparently does not work ... im going to remove it for now and see what if anything happens.

same here, i have the fix and a brand new comp but crash anytime a player spams hips. i dont even crash when the shadow plane dragon spams it, it seems a player has to, to make me crash.

i second the idea of posting settings here, because it isnt the players fault this is happening but bio-wares.

although i am for removing shifter/Sd as a playable class until fizes are put into place. even though sd's do not crash the hole server it shouldnt be thought of as any less harmful then a shifter crash.

just my 2 cents again,.... crashing was one of the big reasons i deleted 3 30+ level shifter toons i had.

Not for nothing. But have you guys reinstalled your video drivers? I have a lowly 6800 nVidia and have not crashed because of HiPSer's at all.

aye 7800gs here and up to date vid drivers, and this is my old comp, and the new one still crashes also up to date drivers

i removed the "fix" and did some testing and did not crash but it was only one hipser at a time and not alot going on in the screen we did have some combat going on ect but nothing like a cradle raid or high level battle. so im till up in the air whether that fixed it for me.

I rarely crashed since I installed the fix... been pretty stable for me.

it looks like a combination of bioware and video drivers. i NEVER used to crash, then i updated my video drivers and now i crash with or without the fix. i had to go to beta nvidia drivers to get past the black screen issue.

and not for nothing, if you ban sds you'd be banning half the server and like 80% of pvpers lol.

Idnt gonna happen. Not everyone crashes from this bug, you guys just need to exp with drivers, patches and settings to get your comps to work properly. I dont crash from this bug, on any of my 3 computers.

1 is a FX 60, 4 GIG of Ram and a EVGA 8800GTS
1 is a AMD 4000, 2 Gig of ram and a MSI 6800
1 is a Intel Celeron M 1 gig of Ram with a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950

The laptop is slow as can be, yet still does not crash.

Yes, I certainly don't advocate banning sd's. Just piping up that the patch didn't work for me, and looking for help from the community, being as how I'm borderline competent with a computer, given my generally low intelligence, fat fingers, and poor hygiene. Thanks for the ideas!

my current theory is that it may also be sound related (hipsing makes a faint whooshing surround sound). im going to experiment with sound (safe mod etc) to see if that reduces the crashiness.

fyi i get the exact same type of crash with hellball and storm of vengeance, both of which have surround effects + heavy graphics.

unfortunately you'll have to wait until 1.69 for the real fix. this basically ended pk for me. however i noticed that if i run any other games, the hips fix stops working. i have to reboot and go right into nwn to reduce the crashes.
