First Minutes in Age of Conan

Posted by Stropp on May 24, 2008

Just a very quick update.

The servers came up around the time they were meant to, so I started the patching. That didn’t take too long, only around an hour, and I started playing around 12:30am. It’s now 2am (so I’ll make this quick.)

There were a couple of initial teething problems. I initially had no textures. I fixed it by making sure the texture cache was bigger than zero. I set it to max since I have 4GB system memory. I’ve also set the graphics quality to medium. I just wanted to play tonight, I’ll try better settings later.

I played through from the beach until I entered the city of Tortage. So far, so good. No problems, though I admit to button mashing my combat. That works, but isn’t very efficient. Much to learn methinks.

The client also crashed on exit. I sent the report to Funcom.

I need some sleep now. I’ll get more info for you tomorrow after I’ve been playing longer.
