I have a totally different problem. The client worked fine up to yesteray evening. But as of this moment the client starts but after the message "unpacking core" was displayed the window is totally black and stays that way. Java is started and some CPU usage and memory usage can be seen after the screen goes black. But the activity is minimal and the memory use stays constant at 116.9 - 117.0 MB .

 

Operating system: Windows 8.1

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 740M

 

As far as I'm aware no updates were installed on my computer. Also disabled real-time visus checking, with no result.

Also uninstalled and reinstalled Eldevin, once again the client will not load as far as i can see beyond unpacking of the core files. I can however still play in the Browser. That works fine.

Last update was send out on July 7th, 2012

The last couple of months I have noticed that people are searching for a good creature picker.

I developed one a while ago and over the last two weeks I have tidied it up so others will be able to use it as well.

To run this spreadsheet you will need Excel (preferably 2010). This version will not work with OpenOffice and older versions of Excel.

If you want this spreadsheet and future updates, mail me @ Tamrath@ymail.com and I will mail you the spreadsheet, as well as future updates.

If you have any suggestions to improve it, just post it here and I will include it in the next version.
