I played this morning and had no problems with the game. I tried playing again after the patch, but could not. Not only was the lag unbearable, but I was disconnected. Worst of all, my entire laptop froze because of the conflict with Java that the game created. I've been playing for over a year and have never had a problem like this. I hope it gets fixed soon. Furthermore, the two people with whom I was playing were having the exact same problems.

I'm assuming the controller problem is actually tied to the java library issues they are having with this patch since the input library is managed by java. So while they have identified the problem it looks to be much bigger than just the controller issue - and not as quick as a fix.

And free screenfreezes too

It appears that something in the game is making SK's memory usage keep increasing more and more the longer the game is running

so basically...it's like if everyone had a timer on the game whenever it starts running (stronger computers have a larger timer) and after the timer goes past a certain point it starts lagging...and lagging more as it goes on...and probably after awhile it will crash, lol

everyone expects a quick fix I guess =w=...restarting the game solves the problem for awhile for now though

Holy crud, I just crashed in Jelly Kings palace. I don't think that's ever happened before.

I can't find any of the stealth edits in Spiral Spy. Has anyone else checked?

Wait... zombies dropped loot when rezed before!?

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

So why the "Zombies will now only drop loot on initial defeat. Rez'd zombies will drop nothing." ?

Cano, the ones that die and respawn because of the totem circle will drop their crowns/heat/mats/items when they die initially Instead of before where they dropped their crowns/heat/mats/items when they actually died.

I would love to see a successful SK update, without lag, glitched AH, or bugged energy depots causing consequences. Come on, OOO.

Around when will the fix come?

Extend my weapon and trinket slots and elevator pass by 1 day and for each day until this is fixed. Game is UNPLAYABLE. Everyone else should expect the same.

@Duke About the future content: is it combat related? Perhaps the combat enhancements they've talked about? Or is it much more minor?

your update has made atleast half the people in every haven dc PLEASE fix this i cant even play im going to quit and three other of my friends have already quit from a lack of attention to the horrible and frankly useless update.

One day you'll wake up and realize that not every update ever has to be major patches or expansions and that almost every single MMO has bugs with every patch that get ironed out within a day. OOO's goal is obviously not to create Java lag for you to make quit the game, so stop acting like they're conspiring against you and acting like you will realistically leave any impact with your absence.

for some reason i get Disconected every 3 min or so.... its agrivateing. the lag is unbarable. excuse my spelling. but if its possible to fix i would really like that ^^ i just want to play my fav game.

Lagagagaagagagagal i hope we get some sort of compensation for this :/

Experiencing extreme lag.
In FSC. In JK. In Snarby. In arena depths. Even in haven when viewing the auction house.
This game is unplayable and broken in its current state. I would suggest adding time to all timed items - elevator pass, weapon/trinket slots, etc. Including time for items on the auction house - I paid crowns for that time, so that more people had more time to see my items. I want the lost time back.

You won't get compensation!

And there's nothing you can do about it!

Remember RT.

The Rescue Camp.

And this is NO exeption!

Now get on with your lives!

The test server gets updated at the same time as the main server with the same content. The only time the test server gets anything unique is when they open it to the public.

This update definitely broke the game. Might be best if we simply reverted to the version before the patch, and let the issues get worked while the game is at least playable. There's really nothing vital in this patch, and it could likely be thrown away before being fixed.

ummm... why isn't the main client patched yet? it works perfect on test server now

REVERSE THE UPDATE!REVERSE THE UPDATE!
Seriously OOO has broken the SK economy,now they broke the whole game.Hurray!

Was this patch even tested on the test server at all? You'd think given how blatant the problems are, someone would have discovered the bugs if proper testing had been in place.

Not sure why, given the disastrous technical issues, the devs didn't simply revert the patch at the first sign of trouble, and reissue it later when things have been fixed. I'm sure people would be a lot more understanding to having a new patch delayed than not being able to play at all. They're potentially turning off new players who signed up today to find an unplayable game.

/epicfail this patch

Come on three rings. You managed to screw up just a simple filler patch. The game is unplayable for me now. On top of my normal asian lag i now freeze every 3rd second.
