After the first 2nd most recent patch, the smaller one, my living settlements thralls only got worse, not better. To boot it created bugs with my tavern thralls. Now they get stuck inside rocks, trees, they are trapped waaaay off in the distance away from my tavern, etc.
Then the most recent patch hit, making it worse, now thralls are standing on each others heads, hanging from the ceilings, floating in mid air, etc, along with all the old bugs. NONE, NONE of which got better.
And now I have a crash to desktop “Fatal Error” that just happens at random.
From what it looks like one of these patches screwed up some aspect of the X,Y coordinate system used in the game, because I’m frequently seeing enemies die except their corpse appears a long distance away from where I killed them. I’m also getting tons of attack glitches where hits don’t register and characters glitch around each other.
I still don’t understand how a better grasp on how to work within this game hasn’t been found? It’s old Funcom. You should have some of these basics figured out by now. I don’t like griping about the game, if not for the bugs and glitches this game would probably be tied for my all time favorite game. The idea, the setting, the world is beautiful, I love the thrall system and idea. But it gets harder and harder to stomach spending money in the store, much less if I decided to do a private server again, when the game runs like a rough cut beta.
I literally can’t play 2 minutes without seeing some kind of bug. Even if it’s some kind of small graphic glitch or hiccup there is just nothing about this game that is “solid”. Literally ZERO aspects of this game, thralls, mounts, combat, swapping weapons, arrows disappear in mid air, bows misfire, hits don’t register, thralls disappear from my base, they don’t react to me being attacked at random when set on defend, they get lost and take forever to catch up, on and on and on and on the game is just one giant buffet of bugs and glitches.
It would do your company a world of good, and thus the future release of Dune, especially after the farces that were the Secret World and Age of Conan, if you could demonstrate that you have the ability to lock down and fix problems within the game rather than the same old problems existing for years or even getting worse with patches.
Seriously, it’s depressing and disheartening to see what happens to this game every time a patch comes out. I don’t get it.
