Thread: JTL = Bug fest??
Cant call any swoop bikes, bought 2 of em, can call em the first time but after I store em they wont come out again, I can call my landspeeder
Dont get any mission rewards, did some on Dant and Dath, none of em paid out
My frame rate dropped to 8FPS, I have a 2.4ghz P4, Gforce5200, 768mb of ram, winxp with all the candy turned off.
And last, but surely not the least LAG!!!! (again)
All this happened since downloading the new patch.
Tried to submit a csr ticket on these items, the holocron wouldnt let me type anything, the Alt button freaked out and my cursor was bouncing back and forth from fixed to free mode then the frickin game crashed, first time in about 9 months.
Im posting this just to see what problems others are havin too.

I have had this problem, but not for over a month, just trade your vehicles to someone and trade them back, then they will work

NO missions payed out? I havnt had that issue. But there has been an issue with group HUD messages, so you could have been getting paid, but you just didn't know it.

I havnt had this issue, i have a very nice computer, (custom built myself) But, you could have a duel 64 bit with a 10kRPM hd, 2 gigs of ram, and a insane GFX card, and run 1 fps. It depends alot on drivers, tweaks, overclocks, making sure you dont have SPYWARE or ADWARE.... oh ya, did i mention drivers? Try omegadrivers.net These are the ones i use. and i cant remember the last time i went below 25 FPS in cnet..
And last, but surely not the least LAG!!!! (again)
I have noticed some of this, but then again there are alot of nubs that dont use bits, so theres a couple THOUSAND people downloading a 180meg patch......... that could be the lag culprit, that or all the new people coming to, or comign back to the game.

Not intended to flame, i hope the driver link helps you out, try defraging, make sure you dont have an overly large amount of network traffic (local) during peak times, that may cause some lag to
Oh..... and JTL isnt actualy THAT buggy, not nearly as much as i expected. Sure, there are a fe issues, but considering the devs are puting out patches on a saturday... for like 2 months in a row means they are working hard.
and for you non JTL-beta guys, there is a patch almost everyday with fixes, new content, tweaks, etc. This game is going to be great.
And for all you noobs, remember, there is a difference between FRAME RATE (FPS) and NETWORK LAG (ping, latency, etc)

As for the mission payout, I checked my balance and it hasnt moved since I started, no system messages and no increase in my balance.
I am gonna try the omega drivers and see what happens plus check out a few of the option settings in launchpad like a Bloom setting? and make sure pixel/vertex shader is set to 1.4 or disabled. If I get any of these fixed, lol, Ill post it. Thanks for the posts.
Haven't had any problems since, so I just chalked it up to server bandwidth being eaten up by zillion people (OK maybe 1000) downloading huge patch.
I turned off the vertex/pixel shader, disabled it. and my FPS is now a steady 30 with all options off, I even burst ran through Coronet and it stayed between 25-30. Thats the best Ive seen on my comp. I turned on a bunch of terrain options and graphic options and it holds a steady 20-25 everywhere. I havent tried the omega driver, dont see a reason to now.
Im going to get some missions to see if the payout thing is over with now.
