I have finally came up with an answer to my issue… I went home (as being offline for three days without any walls around me, isn’t a good idea). And I also took the bison\/wagon with me. I have an idea to deal with caring.
\nFirst of all, I spent about 10 or so minutes setting all of my graphics settings to what it feels is recommended, and came online. 3\/4 of me is expecting to be alive (with the remaining 1\/4 being dead to an asshole troll that caught me before I got out of the world). And as expected, I was alive and well (inside my wagon nonetheless).
\nAlso, the new graphics settings worked! The game still looked pretty stunning, and my framerate is ohh so buttery smooth now (like I just upgraded my hardware)! However, it told me to also disable all shadows (which kills the realism for me). So I set it back.. and my computer didn’t like it at first<\/em>, but after a minute or two, the framerate was buttery smooth again.
\nI need to make a mental note to setup a new ‘Impalong’ setting (having everything non-critical to their lowest settings). Because that’ll save me a lot of headaches to set it up prior to the Pri Impalong. Like, before reaching the Impalong site, I can log off, switch to the ‘Impalong’ settings, and boom.. no major studdering issues with a fuck-ton of boats and particles\/crazy lighting everywhere!
\n—
\nPlotted a route back to Lormere, using alternate routes (instead of the catseye highway). This had myself follow a few coastlines (and crossing a few bridges) before getting on the Whitefay\/Summerholt highway, then taking the route that eventually gets to Esteron(and there’s a section of it (after passing by the deed deed) that is (IMO)… the worst-maintained catseye highway (so far) in Xanadu. It has an excessive amount of dips, bumps, and inclines(some of them make absolutely no sense<\/strong>)), and taking the bypass road that lead me to it from Lormere.
\nThis road has been greatly extended since the last time I’ve traveled it, and even passes by that INSANE incline part (with a few switchbacks, and a tunnel). Kudos to the road builders! Hope it gets extended all the way to the main highway.
\nEventually got on the highway to Lormere, but using another route to get me to the road that gets to where my boat is. Two people in local pop up, and one of them waves and offers food. I told them “thanks but no thanks, I have places to be.”–
\nFinally made it back to my boat. The idea is to go to Deli and check out that spot I saw when I was initially exploring the server last year. I thought of leaving the bison\/wagon here in Xan, then come back and grab them (due to I felt I needed to make a direct route, to minimize the damage to the cages). Then I thought I’ll just load them now (to make less trips, and knew I could get them out in Deli, repair the cages, get them back in, and then go home).
\nAnd it was a good idea that I chose the second option, because I didn’t know it was 4 in the morning, and absolutely needed to rush this (as bedtime is in an hour)! With an East gale (that would both help and hinder me), I tried to quickly make it to one of the southern canals out of Xan.
\nNearly out of the canal that got me here, I just happened to look left and saw a deed on a hill, with a structure called ‘Soleil’s House’… well well well. Looks like he finally found a place to live afterall. If it wasn’t for the fact I was literally racing against the clock, I would had went over and checked it out.
\n–
\nGot B2 on two minutes before crossing the server (as all passengers HAVE to be logged in to cross). Made it to Deli, and flew up the coast to the canal, wasting no time (as every second counts).
\nGot a bit lost after passing the second canal, unsure which side to take. Had to go online and pull up the Deli community map, and found the canal that lead to Nightmare Lake (remembering it was along the coast). The East gale, now in my face, took nearly 10 minutes to traverse. Not good when you’re on a strict timetable (and literally trying to race the RL sun).
\nMaking it out on the other end, I noticed things have.. changed. The road that I felt was going to be an issue, is now a Cobble\/Marble highway (but has no catseyes). What’s worse, I couldn’t find the spot I saw before. Thought I could come to this spot tomorrow with Uma (just get someone to brand her), and do a more through check. Though I could’ve sworn I saw a structure where (I believe to be) the spot I saw. All the more reason to do a more detailed check.
\n—
\nThe journey back to the north border of Deli was (of course) quicker than getting there (with the East gale behind me). But getting back home, I had to zig-zag back to Sunset Canal. There I saw another god damn sermon going on near it (and of course my computer doesn’t like that shit). But, “moving out” is really the -only- answer to that issue (even though I was here first).
\n–
\nSo now we’re back home, safe and secure (by 5:15am). I also notice that multi clienting is a lot<\/strong><\/em> more tolerable now with these new (slightly lower) graphics settings (which opens opportunities for me). They did<\/em> mention in the patch notes, that textures have been optimized for low-end computers (and all I can say is “fucking FINALLY”).
