This window is really annoying

[fowlplay4]

V6 just has to overcome the major issues with players who remain on V5.

1. Performance needs to be better.
2. Playerlist needs to be feel and look like V5.
3. GUIs need to be adjusted for the new font rendering. It's kind of ridiculous it wasn't changed to emulate Windows V5's look.

If V6 doesn't meet the above criteria players are just going to be pissed off about the new client because it doesn't really offer players anything.

V6 may be better for macs, but definitely not for [my] windows.

The external playerlist has been in the v6 client since before the closed beta.

It's not a case of fixing something that's not broken. v6 adds lots of new features and optimizations that scripters can use, as well as some bug fixes.

I still don't find it in my best interest to update, being that I lag far worse on the v6 client and it doesn't fit how I currently play. I've had my screens the same for 7 years... I'm not gonna get used to a new way if it doesn't benefit me.

The window should only come up once and inform players, not every time you reconnect, that's just rude. Or better yet, put something on the front login page.

Can you give me a summary of your hardware (graphics card, memory, OS, 64/32 bit, etc.)?

Also, have you tried running in the various compatibility modes, disabling Aero, running in OpenGL?—even if it's temporary it would help to diagnose the problems. I've been trying to replicate them but on every system I can get my hands on v6 runs far better than v5.

Exactly this.

Kinda annoying that if I get d/ced or reconnect or the server crashes then I have to wait...

Why is this window still there and ONLY on Era... put a ****ing main news post on the login screen if it is important, don't hinder our gameplay.

If you're really that annoyed just play using V6.

I seriously can't.

My fps doesn't pass 15 on v6, I'm incapable of playing on it.

Plus I straight don't like it.

[RogueShatterblade]

I have v5 on my laptop and v6 on my desktop

both are equally stupid when you don't pk

[Tim_Rocks]

Rogue, I have the same problem on my desktop PC. What fixed it for me was just making the window slightly smaller, you'd have to play with it a little. That's the most I've been able to increase FPS on my desktop PC.

Doesn't mean I should be forced to use v6 by your obnoxious 10 second update window. My screen is plenty small, and already prevents me from seeing entire levels, how many more disadvantages do I need.

They don't care enough to even post it on the news page, why should I have to wait 10 seconds just to login Era?

I'm not going to update, just remove the ****ing thing.
