I would kill for a couple good sets of grinding armor, some speed sliced republic blasters, speed power ups, a couple crates of stim b's, and accuracy food.

Is it just me or do weapons decay really fast?

Anybody want to get a group going on Saturday at around 7PM or so EST to do the Geo-Cave? It's miserably tough right now. We need Acklay bones to make good power hammers boys.

Are you talking about us running around in there and dying a bunch last night? Because that was miserable. Also we didn't even get to the Acklay.

We really need to take like 6-8 people probably just to get down to the Acklay. This is a suicide mission. Many of you are going to have to throw your toons into the thresher to satiate my blood lust. Basically at worst, some of you will act as a meat shield to get as many of us as you can into the Acklay room. If all goes smoothly we will all make it. Once we fail though we can go to the epic dungeons and stuff and farm Jabba/Ackbar/other goofy poo poo.

You can pick up 40% stun armour for 20k a piece pretty easily for the Geo cave. The whole place is soloable just remember to stop them range attacking you and run into melee range on each one even if you are range attacking them. The droids are nasty no matter what.

Well I've finally made some time to play this but the game just crashes immediately. This is the crash dump that I get.

Well the geo cave here is actually way tougher than on Basilisk or live. They changed it up so as to make it not solo-able. The mobs can one shot you without stun armor, they may even be able to one shot you with stun armor sometimes. They are hitting for around 3000 damage with their ranged attacks.

By any chance do you have your game settings throttled to the lowest or have certain graphic options disabled? I had a point where I crashed in cnet and it would crash the moment it loaded the game world until I turned high quality textures and bump mapping back on.

What I figure is there's something with the new NGE assets that don't play too nice with minimum pre-CU settings. When I had everything turned down, I noticed a number of NGE objects had an unnatural neon red glow on them, which went away when I turned the good stuff back on.

4x pre-CU xp sounds fun, I'm game for starting this back up. I'll try to find a Goon Squad person online.

Is TKM/MRanger or MSwords/MRanger viable right now? Sounds like there isnt much in the way of good weapons at the moment.

Until I have a drop-off vendor set up, grab me on Smack or Grandma or Monsanto, or just drop them in the guild hall in the back room somewhere.

Nah. All the settings were at default at first. I changed them according to this page http://www.bloodfin.net/forum/swginstall.php (even the pixel shader for the hell of it). My computer is a fairly powerful gaming machine so it doesn't even blink at SWG. The only thing changing the settings actually does for me is to cause the game to load to the crash point in less than a second instead of maybe 5. And it is definitely (player) cities that are the cause. Any time I get close enough where I would need to load buildings the game freezes for about 3 seconds then I get a crash notification. Any time I try to log that character back in, as soon as my character would load the game crashes instead. Shame, really. I was looking forward to playing this.

Made 2 brawlers, just trying to do missions and drifted close to a city, then blam crashed out. So I just decided to try with a crafter instead. Got out of the tutorial and just made a beeline for GoonTown. I got within the borders on the water. But, again, as soon as the buildings came in viewing distance and the game tried to load them, the game just dies and the character is completely inaccessible.

Sounds like you might need to install that patch from the op if you haven't done so, might be trying to load missing NGE content it added, as the 14.1 patch files you'd normally have from SWGEMU would not contain them, nor does the base bloodfin install.

These are the two things I've installed on my EMU install and on top of a fresh install. I've tried both of the "Patch 3" installers as well in case they were different for some reason.

I can't log in to test if you're referring to something that may have been done server-side. I installed the Patch 3 from mediafire before even creating my account. I hunted down the link off bloodfin.net myself to install and tested with my second brawler and my crafter.

e: connection issue on my end. I was able to connect. Same issue still, but I was assuming so.

Bloodfin.exe (still) gives the same error I was mentioning earlier. e: I re-ran it just now to get this crashdump since I deleted the last few. e2: which is kind of a derp moment for me. Yeah that's probably my in-game crashing issue. Running a client that can't handle some of the assets it's trying to load? Though I'm stuck with the instant crashing of the exe that would theoretically fix my issue of crashing near cities.

I can send the actual dump file if you think it would help any. But yeah that's kind of the problem I'm stuck with. I saw a few crash dump error fixes were to use SWGEmu launcher. But after looking at the details everybody seems to get the same one that's completely different from mine.

Did you check to see if you have all the patch files for the game in your game folder? In particular, the series of files named patch_##.tre, in a linear sequence from 00 to 14_00. Older discs and the Bloodfin install/patch do NOT contain these files and must be acquired through the SWGEMU launcher if missing.

Really you should just install SWGEMU, make sure it runs, then install Bloodfin directly over it, because the BF startup did not like my vanilla install folder one bit.

If you feel like bringing me hide and fiberplast (few hundred of each, probably), I'll be able to create the clothes - already have the jewelery done. The sockets are random, so it's a bit of a crap-shoot.

Not precisely the problem but you basically hit right on it. The issue was that my SWGEmu installed to its own directory within my SWG folder. I don't remember if I did that or the installer did. I don't know why I would when I have the discs to just to a fresh install I wanted any time. But after just taking everything out of the SWGEmu folder and dumping into the main directory, bloodfin.exe works and I'm able to log in to my (now dead :smith: ) characters just fine.
