Feedback Prototype client results

So far as I could tell, the client never frees memory for mobs with multiple forms until all of them are dead, so if you're limited on RAM/pagefile you might see some issues still.

 

Operating System (Windows/MAC) (32/64 bit): Windows 10 64 Bit
Graphics card (ex: NVIDIA): Nvidia GTX 960 2GB
What did you boss (Zakum,Horntail, Cake): Cake
Do you GFX normally?: Most of the times at cake boss, always at other bosses.
Did you GFX now (this should be no for the test client)?: No I did not
Do you Crash normally if you don't GFX? (or even if you do GFX): Yes, I dc alot at cake if I don't gfx and if I do gfx(same with zakum)
Did you crash now?: No I did not.
Other observations (noticeable changes): My client was stuck for 20 seconds when I entered cake map, was a black screen.
Also I usually dc at cash shop, that didn't happen with prototype client.

So far the prototype is way better then the current client for me.

 

Operating System (Windows/MAC) (32/64 bit): MAC
Graphics card (ex: NVIDIA): Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB (??)
What did you boss (Zakum,Horntail, Cake): Cake
Do you GFX normally?: Yes at the spawn
Did you GFX now (this should be no for the test client)?: No
Do you Crash normally if you don't GFX? (or even if you do GFX): Yes either crash or lag badly that I miss the 100/150 hit count
Did you crash now?: Nope
Other observations (noticeable changes): Cake is definitely running as smoothly as it can get.

(Trying to get myself into more zak runs to be able to test it out more ...)

EDIT: If you happen to go on a Zakum run and don't mind me testing out the client, please let me know ! IGN: Bocc I'm basically online the entire day ahah . Would help out a lot Thanks

 

Operating System (Windows/MAC) (32/64 bit): Windows 10 64 bit
Graphics card (ex: NVIDIA): 1060GTX
What did you boss (Zakum,Horntail, Cake): Cake
Do you GFX normally?: Yes
Did you GFX now (this should be no for the test client)?: Nope, all went well, even bumped up the graphics to max. Was able to enter the map, have the cake spawn on screen with no FPS drops, and remain on the map with no D/C upon cake death.
Do you Crash normally if you don't GFX? (or even if you do GFX): Yes I had a few FM store crashes.
Did you crash now?: Not at all.
Other observations (noticeable changes): Haven't quite noticed any oddities whilst using this client, in fact, it's now my main client of use.
Overall results (negative/positive): Highly positive.

I would totes test on my Hackintosh, but I don't think they would yield the same results as a MAC.

 

I got my Zakum Helmet. I increased my virtual RAM, but the run didn't consume as much as before. After the last body spawned, some things went invisible (i.e., the chat) or started flickering (i.e., Zakum's body), so I had to GFX to get these things to the physical RAM. I guess nobody with enough physical RAM should experience this.

 

4 cake runs in a row i didnt dced once... i did gfx twice
(almost always dced with old client)

 

Operating System: Windows 64 bit (Running on iMac BOOTCAMP)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX
What did you boss: CAKE
Do you GFX normally?: Sometimes (when I remember to haha)
Did you GFX now?: No
Do you Crash normally if you don't GFX? (or even if you do GFX): Yes, all the time whether I GFX or not
Did you crash now?: No, and do not need to GFX, staying on Best graphics is perfectly fine. ALTHOUGH, I crashed once immediately upon entering the map and that was before the cake was summoned.
Other observations (noticeable changes): Prototype did not experience any graphical glitches with the background (e.g. background not loading at all or looking like the matrix, which usually put me at risk of DC, but sometimes could be fixed with GFX) when recently with the official client there have been A LOT of glitches. ALSO, I do not DC when AFKing for extended periods of time when on the official client I would DC after 2~h sitting in the FM. With this prototype I hit at least 13h before my computer put itself to sleep.
Overall results (negative/positive): So far extremely positive, the prototype seems superior in every way.

Exact same result on my laptop (Windows 10 64-bit, Intel integrated graphics)

I could not get the client to run on MacOS Sierra and I did all 3 solutions. RIP :c

 

Operating System (Windows/MAC) (32/64 bit): Mac OS X Yosemite
Graphics card (ex: NVIDIA): Intel Iris graphics 6100
What did you boss (Zakum,Horntail, Cake): Zakum
Do you GFX normally?: Never zak'd on mac cause heard the rumors!
Did you GFX now (this should be no for the test client)?: I GFX'd once when I received black boxes
Do you Crash normally if you don't GFX? (or even if you do GFX): Never zak'd on this mac
Did you crash now?: Nope
Other observations (noticeable changes): Generally when I receive black boxes they get spammed despite gfxing until I dc but this time they went away with only 1 gfx. (Generally you have to spam it)
Overall results (negative/positive): Positive

 

Operating System (Windows/MAC) (32/64 bit): MAC Sierra
Graphics card (ex: NVIDIA): Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB (??)
What did you boss (Zakum,Horntail, Cake): Zakum
Do you GFX normally?: Weren't able to go that far
Did you GFX now (this should be no for the test client)?: No
Do you Crash normally if you don't GFX? (or even if you do GFX): Immediately
Did you crash now?: Nope
Other observations (noticeable changes): The run went very smoothly apart from 2 minor 1second lags (might be from the Cake that was happening at the same time) but they were nothing. Had no problems what so ever and it was a perfect run. I'm guessing my previous dc at Zak was one of those random boss dc .. Thanks again Demure for taking us to Zak

 

Operating System: MAC El Capitan
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB
What did you boss: Cake
Do you GFX normally?: Never
Did you GFX now?: No
Do you Crash normally if you don't GFX? (or even if you do GFX): At Cake, horrible lag or DC after CS weapons removed. Pink boxes, floating eyes and crash before CS weapons removed.
Did you crash now?: No. Frame rate still dropped a little (maybe by half?)
Other observations (noticeable changes): Before Cake spawned, even having a huge amount of people all in the same map did not alter my frame rate much. Just a pinch slower. Noticeable slowdown after Cake spawned.
Overall results (negative/positive): First successful Cake run in 2 weeks. Big thumbs up



By the way, Ceres did you try disabling the System Integrity Protection on your Mac? https://forum.maplelegends.com/inde...e-legends-after-upgrading-to-el-capitan.5963/

Can't think of any other reason it won't install.

 

Shab I did :c didn't work

 

So I tested my shitty laptop and my main pc.

#Laptop
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
Graphics card: regular Intel Graphics
What did you boss: HT x3, Zak x2, Cake several times
Do you GFX normally?: On normal client, I always gfx at HT, otherwise I dc. At Zakum GFX took so long that it made me crash so I was yoloing Zak without gfx, praying for no dc. It was impossible to do Cake on normal client, freeze 90% of time, pressing attack button for whole cake resulted in attacking max 50times.
Did you GFX now?: Didn't gfx a single time at none of those bosses, Was running on lowest 'picture quality' just for my own safety.
Did you crash now?: Nope. I even tried running 2 clients at Cake at the same time. Was lagging a little but didn't dc and got my marble. At HT and Zak I only lagged when body parts were appearing, during spawning the boss.
Other observations: New Gacha items seem to lag me sometimes during bosses, they don't when I take them off. Had same problem before on normal client. I had those lag spikes that stopped when I replaced effect.wz with a file that disabled effects of new cash items and those rings that are cake rewards.
I cc-dc more often on Prototype client than on normal one.
Overall results (negative/positive): positive

#MainPC
Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
What did you boss: Zak and Cake x2 at the same time

Spoiler: Hmm

Do you GFX normally?: Always GFXing during Zak. Disabling Nvidia during HT (running on Integrated Graphics).
Did you GFX now?: Highest picture quality on all 3 clients, Not a single lag, not GFXing, not DCing.
Overall results (negative/positive): positive

I might be wrong but I also noticed that in really bad laggy/freeze situations normal client just crashes while the prototype is just frozen till he fixes his thing, and connects back. So the point of prototype would be to prevent disconects for whatever the price is, right?

 

Ceres Aw, at least you have bootcamp up and running =] And I'm sure you read through the stickied guide for configuring Wineskin and possibly XQuartz too. Wonder if anyone else is playing on Sierra.

Edit:
3/3 Cakes no D/C. Having Google Chrome open during Cake Boss knocks my frame rate down by another 50% though (poor laptop).

 

I joined a zakum this weekend and was asked to gfx a few times in the run.
Do people just not know this has been fixed?

 

Have you considered implementing something that forces people to use the latest files?
