Loaded the patch Ok.

Created a new char OK.

Upon trying to enter the world, get a runtime error in client_r.exe.

Reboot, fullscan, same results.

It connects ok and loads some of the data before crashing to desktop with just a windows error message, not further data. sorry.

I had a similar problem. Initial installation of TestCenter, had a couple problems with program crashes. Rebooted, ran full scan, and was able to enter the New Character screen. Created character, was loading new player tutorial, and receiveda Runtime Error on SwgClient_r.exe

Created an artisan.


Skipped the tutorial but noted that the "stat migration" chat was in my spatial window when I logged in at the travel terminal. I DID NOT hear it my previous char creation though. Deposited on Corellia again.


Droid helper suggested I survey for a mineral, but "I'd like help" button was again unresponsive in explaining how. Surveyed 3 times until I found a decent concentration. Even sampled the spot untilI had a bit of the mineral. Droid never triggered the next interface.


Also I noted that the droid conversations do not show up in the spatial window, so you cannot go back and reread what the droid hassaid.

Yesterday I took on Novice Entertainer using the trainer outside of the NU cantina and got a new 'Helper Droid'. Didn't need it so I stored the droid and deleted it out of my datapad. This afternoon when I logged on I still had the droid in my datapad. I was able to call it, but wasn't able to do anything else with it, though it did greet me. I stored it again and deleted it.


Now I just logged in again after being out for about an hour and what do I see when I log on? A green "newbie" droid. Have just stored it and deleted it again. I fully expect that it will be there again when I log back in. Let's call this the "newbie droids just won't die" bug.

TH,


Any chance of permanently reanimating harvisters? I've never really seen an explanation for why they don't work, but I've always assumed they were turned off to ease server lag. For people who run a large number of harvesters with a multitude of different resources (and no survey ability) it forces me to go out and check my harvs every day, manually.


Thanks!

I downloaded the test center data about 6:00p today. First attempt to use it received several immediate Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library errors. I performed a full scan of the files. When I went in the third time, I was able to create a new character. When I attempted to enter the game it crashed again with the same error. After some quick updates at the next log on I was able to get to the loading screens. At first it froze and loaded nothing, then with each successive reboot it appeared to go further into the load. I found it would freeze, but if I went back, then clicked next again, it would go a bit further before crashing out to the runtime error again.


I'm currently running a Windows 2000 os, on a MSI K8T Neo with an AMD Athlon 64 proccessor, 1 gig DDR, using an MSI Video Graphics Accelerator with an NVida FX5950 Ultra.

This is a followup to my other report. It crashes consistently at Generating Terrain, on the Loading screens. It completes the World download.

Art Issues:


On the buildings in Theed, some of the surfaces are flashing at a very high rate. It usually happens on the big segments of the walls. I have a ATI 9800 Pro with the latest catalyst drivers.


Dantooine Mining Outpost.:


Still getting entering and leaving a pirate outpost.


Character Selection Screen:


Please fix the misreporting of the server loading. I logged out to switch to another character for a minute. When I get out it is reporting Naboo and Dantooine as loading for my characters. I hit the create button and it shows it loading there. I back and forth a couple of times for it finally to report online. This occurs within a minute, so I know the server isnt currently loading. Especially when I'm talking to my friend who is still on Dant.

I created a new entertainer and went through the tutorial. Tutorial is looking good; seems more polished.

One suggestion is ALWAYS have something to loot on the bandit. It's just more fun, and it needn't be a great itemto be interesting to a new player (old clothing, etc., is fine).


Bugs: 1) I noticed in the last room I did not hear the voice over about stat migration. 2) Also, like a poster above, I clicked and heldonce on the travel terminal to get the radial menu and was transported to Coronet, Corellia before I could choose "use".


Once in Coronet my droid helper appeared (neat idea ). It introduced itself and suggested I try to practice dancing. Bug: I chose "I'd like help" from the interface but got no response and the interface disappeared. I tried using the droid radial menu and choosing "Profession Quests: Entertainer" but nothing happened. So I started dancing anyway and got a system message that I had received 50xp and had 80 credits deposited to the bank. Also a new interface popped up and the droid suggested I start playing music. "I'd like help" and using the radial menu once again proved fruitless, but when I did play music I was given xp and paid again. Now the droid suggested I try image design. "I'd like help" still didn't work. After ID'ing myself, I got 12 xp, but no monetary reward. Perhaps I would have been paid had I found a willing victim.


Wanting more interaction from the droid, I headed to the cantina, but no more interfaces were triggered. (My bothan was nicely harrassed by a stormtrooper, though.)


Suggestion: Add some explanation of calling and storing droids. Also explain using the datapad to see the commands the droid knows. Had I been truly new, I would have been at a loss how to call the droid again or give ita command to followor to stay.

i'm not sure if this is the right board to report this but everytime i try to log into TC Bria, i get a C++ Runtime Error and close to desktop. i have no problem logging on to TC or Bria (in Live). really sort of annoying. i was gonna see if an MBH stands a chance in the DeathWatch mine.
