Patch 1-28-03

[vpresti]

Is SEQ working? I am at work so i dont know yet, just figured id ask.

[LordCrush]

No Clue servers are not up yet,

but i fear they changed again something ...

from the patch msg:

- Further optimizations to reduce bandwidth and 'lag'. It is difficult to describe the value of this change, but it should show a noticeable improvement for many. We've also resolved many of the hit point update and movement issues that occurred recently.

/em crosses his fingers

I can guarentee they changed the structs again as Test has been different since a patch on 1-17

I was hoping for some verification and that patch note pretty much confirms it.

[LordCrush]

confirmed ... its broken again

i only get a buch of errors ... i hope the code and protocol wizzys and magicans can fix it again

/cry

There will be an emergency patch soon. everytime you zone it's a zone to desktop.

[Amadeus]

Utterly amazing, simply facinating --

How can you have such an actively played test server and screw up patch days as badly as SOE regularly does? ...and, they don't seem embarassed by it at all..hehe

[addicted.to.eq]

seems to be they changed the encryption...

Error: Expected xxx, but only yyy left


sigh

[Mr Guy]

At least I figured out how they improved lag: EQ is currently dropping to desktop if you zone.


THAT will clear up A LOT of lag.

[LordCrush]

Error: Expected xxx, but only yyy left

more likely better compression ... or compression of data that was not compressed until now ...

hope they did not break the GPS without decryption :/

[Amadeus]

Where's Mvern? ..heheh

[Jel321]

hope they did not break the GPS without decryption :/

If you mean using SEQ for just GPS then sorry, thats busted to. Some zones it will detect what you are but your position willbe way off or it will not be updated at all.

Other zones it wont detect at all.

Jel321,

i know that, but until now the Devs were able to repair the GPS so that it works without decryption...

That was only possible cause the data that is needed for GPS was not encrypted. But if they have added an encryption on that part of data ... there will be no GPS without Keysniffer any more.

That did i mean ... and i hope it will not be the truth :/

[vpresti]

we working yet? i see the new KEY 0x700c1950

Do i need to run Bash seq.txt?

[Jel321]

There are more problems than just a new key. Be patient.

[TWRabat]

Yep, they did it again. I started up and loaded into SH, SEQ didnt work..not even picking up data on my linux box. Went to zone into the nexus to see if it'd pick up the key and signal once it resent data, and i got a lovely boot to desktop.
