2026-08-14 Client Upgrade

[Banketybanks]

A whole weekend to play and nothing but errors...

Error: aria2c exited with code 15 is the latest thorn in my side

I copied the game into another folder 2 days ago after client upgrade issues and that now doesn't work either...guess will wait

Just trying to do my part and report my issue. After the update I updated everything and did a fresh install. Made sure I had the newest version of addons like pfui. I installed the epoch water, sounds, maps, load screen, feral forms. Current issue is my load times are really bad and the game freezes when loading for a bit before I can actually move. I have not had any crashes yet. My fps was normally at my cap set 240 for my monitor and now is around 80. My cpu is a 9800x3d with a 4090. Everything is liquid cooled and not issues on that end.

Ya we have fixed a million Twow bugs. We also transitioned to a bittorent only launcher which is difficult to get software working on 40k+ machines. We also had to repack the client because there was no room left to make MPQ patches without interfering with client mods.

you could always just download the torrent that works perfectly if the WIP launcher is giving you trouble. Twow didnt have a launcher for 5+years.
Also stealing other peoples work... really?

Downloading the torrent was how I got around the "ENOTSUP: operation not supported on socket, symlink" error. I'm running this in Linux through wine/umu so apparently copying windows symlink files is not supported. Unfortunately before hitting this error, the launcher also deletes a bunch of files in preparation for the consolidation. For Wine you'd just use a normal Linux linked directory and Wine will use it as if it's a symlink.

I always see a lot of TWoW dev mockery here from the staff, "We fixed all the bugs that TWoW could never!"... I don't recall TWOW bricking people's clients or stealing other people's work.
Its like every time the server is starting to see some growth you shoot yourselves in the foot. Maybe it's 5D chutes and ladders. Pigs get fat hogs get slaughtered.

you don't recall that? sorry do you have amnesia? either your memory is fading or you haven't played twow for more than the last 2 or so months. apart from that (maybe additionally) you're incabale of using google properly.

Even my client is severely broken. I'm getting a lot of stuttering, particularly near water or under weather conditions like rain. My FPS halved after the update. The game is unplayable, even with the patching mods turned on.

I know u put a lot of effort on this project, but can you please add the chance to download older versions of the zip package? At least people with lots of error (i.e. myself) can continue to enjoy the game while you have all the time needed to perfect and patch the last release. Is it possible?

Why do you install every Mods forcefully with today´s updates? It installs vanillafixes, nampower, superwowhook and what not AGAINST MY WILL... Like what the fuck. It practically bricked my game - I was playing perfectly fine with stable 180 FPS without ANY Mod whatsoever. After forcefully installing that against my will with todays updates you bricked my game to 60-90 FPS at best. I have a backup folder of the whole directory and when I start the old version I still have my 180FPS. You basically lost me as a player here and I will make sure that when my RL Friends stop playing on Ascension that they don´t come here to a server where such shady practices are at play.

>bricked
>60 GPS
Choose one. You're a moron if you think you need 180fps in a game optimized for 60 and regularly played at 30. Wtf is wrong with you.

Calling me moron and can´t even get 2 words out without a fat spelling mistake. XD

What is up with SuperWoW being not only shipped with the game files but automatically checked on for people?
I have emailed OctoWoW about that and talked to Kistrel (though you guys stopped replying to my emails 3 days ago)
I do NOT give permission to have my mod SuperWoW redistributed by OctoWoW. I am not affiliated with them and don't endorse any private servers.

I could understand the first time being an oversight by an engineer who didn't realize the license as explained by Kistrel, but to not abide by my wishes for the 2nd time is disappointing and sad.
I urge you to take this into serious consideration. Remove SuperWoW from the launcher, from the torrent link, and from the direct download ZIP.

In case you are trolling, it was fun xD
In case you are real Balake, could you add a way to disable the enforced nameplates distance option? I do not use 2.x versions cause of that

Just to keep those 200 yard nameplates for BGs huh
How much advantage is too much advantage

The jinn is out of the bottle for long, what's your point? If another team can have it, I will have it too

Pathetic and miserable. Min-Maxxers borderlining being cheaters ruined so much about Gaming...
