Patch # 1.1.1 B - War on OOS!

[Konstantin Fomenko]

We are release another minor patch today. However today`s little patch has a lot of promise. We are trying a potential fix for majority of the Out of Sync issues, and if this works OOS in PvP will be a thing of the past. In addition today`s patch does some badly needed balancing for Town Siege PvP games. Stay tuned for a large patch on Sunday.

Patch is Live

LOL you can blame the arrow changes on me. Overall good patch changes though. I might shed a tear over the riflemen nerf but I havn't test them enough to see if 900 was truly overpowered since the riflemen's range can't be upgraded anyhow via XP like archers.

Happy to see more patching already!

Here's hoping sunday's patch is a good one; maybe it will fix my chat and pvp bugs?
And maybe we'll see some of that dwarf promo...

[Konstantin Fomenko]

In Sunday`s patch we plan to solve more OOS issues as well as all the leveling stuff. Also some Army vs Town PvP improvements.

Dwarven Invasion is scheduled for Monday.

Just had some type of OOS where the battelefield didn't even finish loading before I had lost.

I was near Darsen (Rollingplain) in an encampment. When the screen moved to the battlefield I had already lost and lost 201-204 influence!

My army was strength of 717 and was intact after loss, but my influence was gone.

Player: Boricsmith
Town: Thaleron (Wold region), slot 1, Army 3
Event happened while transitioning to PVP battle against army of around 749 strength.

For some reason I can't attach logs.

Well
So far not looking good

My Game Crashed upon a Bigger Battle
it lasted longer than usually tough

Second try on PvP went OOS like I am used to it.



I still think one of the most massive Problems is the Lag in it.
which causes the Clients to gather different Data


But well
just hope this will be fixed with time

[Konstantin Fomenko]

To confirm about that crash. Were either you or your opponent using Enchanters, Foot Knight or Hero heal ability? We think it`s responsible for the crashes.

This is a separate bug that we are hoping to fix next week.

but my influence was gone.

Can you confirm how much did you loose? And to verify it wasn`t 0 after battle, but some other value 5, 10?

[Sunleader]

Actually I might bring up another Theory


I have been testing this as much as Possible


And I have noticed some stuff




When I was playing I often Noticed the Larger my Army the more OOS
So I tough maybe the Lag

Now I have done some other Testing


Like for Example Using a Large mass of lvl 1 Units
and this doesnt end in lag even tough I used alot of Units which should be causing Lags

then I did some specific testing with small Armys but Bugged Units
and they really went OOS short after Battle Startet




Also you guys have been Fixing and Fixing but it doesnt change anything for me




So my Idea tends to Shift that this might all be already fixed and only persists in such high matter due to Older Bugs


Means
Since Many Armys still Have Incredible Bugged Units
theres always Bugged Units causing OOS
and of course the Bigger the Battle the higher the Chance that theres a Bugged Unit along





I would vote for this

Reset ALL Units to lvl 1 and Remove ALL Skills
Same Goes for Hero

Then Disable the Training Option in Citys till the Bug which is causing more stats than allowed
to get into the Units



That should at least Fix a Large part of OOS Errors
Even if it is a hard Measure of couse










Ah Also
Adding a Small Report

Upon on Logging in My Units had lost all Points
after taking em out of City Marching a little and going back to City
they suddenly had their Stats Back

Unfortunately didnt work for my Hero
only for my Units

Which are Sadly Bugged again tough
Swordmen shouldnt have a Damage of 97000 ......

[Konstantin Fomenko]

Sunleader - I`m pretty sure your completely right about this - it`s the old units - we`ll try to have a fix for this on Sunday - most likely we`ll need to reset all of the units - they`ll get to keep their skill points and levels - but all of them would need to be reallocated.

Kon, my Army did contain 2 units of enchanters even though it was a human army. I didn't even get to the battle though so I did not employ the heal skill. As it seemed like it was loading the battlefield, I heard the defeat music and when the battlefield loaded, my camp was there only. The opponent's army was on the field, but was not moving.

I went right from a quest to the PVP fight someone else called me into. I had 202 influence going into the quest but did not see how much influence I earned from the quest.

After "losing" the PVP battle, on the battlefield it said I had 1 influence point. That 1 point carried over to my world view. I tried logging out and back in, but I still had only 1 influence point. I'll be glad to send you my logs, but I can't attach it, and I don't want to spam you unless you want me to send you a pm.
