It did not work.

EDIT: It works after I ran it as administrator. But not until I re-installed.

With the latest client the Graal screen is going black and freezing completely whenever I press ctrl + alt + delete in order to open task manager, while using DirectX and Vista, it is however fine when using OpenGL.

On a positive note, if I have task manager opened before Graal I can see the CPU shown at roughly the same level as with V5, whereas previous client versions were shown to be significantly higher.
Oddly enough though saying showscriptstats is still generating a % almost twice as high as V5.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit here; I can confirm the freezing, but I don't get a black screen. Also, resizing the window will fix it :p

Hm yeah resizing the window is fixing it for me also, in V5 I could restore it by pressing alt + tab and browsing to a non visible error code prompt (Access Denied) and clicking "ok", but that's not occurring with V6.

Apparently Vista's/7's panic overlay is messing with DirectX. Resizing the window will reinitialize it.

I will check it, not sure why it's not detecting it.

The script stats are relative to the overall time required by the Graal engine which have also been improved with v6.

To the people which have problems starting the game: can you try to right-click -> properties on the exe and see if it shows a correct signature ?

I remember posting an issue regarding the transparency of showpoly in V6 compared to V5 appearing to be much lower.
I've now noticed that in V5 showpoly has a default mode of 3, whereas in V6 it has a default mode of 0, which explains why it appeared to be lower as it was being drawn as light unless a mode is specified.

Ah, so this is a good thing then.

When changing server or closing then opening the playerlist, the playerlist shrink to the left.

Graal v6 auto-updated and now it doesn't open, however if I download the seperate installer it will run but only in its own folder. If I try to open it in my normal Graal folder (which I did for all other Graal v6 clients) it will crash.

edit- for some reason i had compatibility set to windows xp. i disabled this and it now runs in my old folder. :-)

I'm getting a lot of errors like this when using v6 (but not in v5) on Maloria. Happens whenever I logon the overworld or open the default map.

Also somewhat unrelated, but does anyone know why I'm getting this on both v5 and v6?

Why are you on Maloria?

Why not?

Bump. In addition to my last post, it seems like v6 isn't saving explored areas of the map at all. When you restart your client, you need to reexplore it all.

Maybe it's some sort of setting in the GMAP file? There are a couple, see if there's something strange in there.

Automapping is ugly anyways. The map image functionality should be fixed(displaying the whole map image when the image is supplied).
