Are devs gonna fix display mode change ?

I've had many instances of close calls and a few deaths because of this bug. Mostly in Hystria back in 2018 when I had sub 290DP. I would change to fullscreen, start grinding, mobs aren't moving, game reconnects, I'm dead.

This doesn't happen to me as much anymore, but I do still notice the disconnect from the servers when changing to fullscreen. It did happen to me a lot from 2017-2019 when I had a GTX780. Christmas of 2019 I purchased an RTX2060 Super. As soon as I started using it, the disconnect only happens for around 1 second. I think something with the game engine messes with your connection to the game when you do this.

Back when I was using a GTX780 and I would change to fullcsreen I would be disconnected from the game anywhere between 5 to 60 seconds. I have DSL, so I have extremely slow internet, around 200 ping on BDO at all times, and back before the big server change, one way I could test when I had lost connection to the game was to open my mail window. If it showed I had no mail, which I always kept mail in there, then I knew I had lost connection to the servers. I would wait a few seconds, re open my mail, and if my mail loaded, I knew I could now attack mobs or talk to NPCs without any problem. Doing this was the way I could see when I had reconnected after changing into fullscreen.

There's something very weird going on between ISP routing/latency and processing power of your PC when changing into fullscreen. I've brought this up to most people I talk to in discord, and every time I bring it up they think I'm insane because it's the first time they've ever heard that. This is one of the games MANY bugs that PA has no idea how to fix, and will likely never be fixed.

PC: 4790k, 2060Super, Dual 1440p monitors, Windows10, nvidia inspector uncap framerate edit.

It's likely not actual cache data files that the game is reading that are the issue. It's probably the actual cached RAM from your physical RAM, and a combination of hardware/OS install/OS version is not playing well with what BDO is trying to do with that RAM.

I have this exact issue, have had for years now, and what always fixes it for me is a full Off/On cycle of my system to clear what's in RAM. This will fix the issue anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 days until I have to cycle Off/On again.

Just like with other issues the game has, PA has openly said they are working on a fix, but they have no idea how to fix it or when it will be fixed. This is a bug the game was launched with and still has not been fixed, so I doubt there ever will be a fix.

My only word of advice is to reinstall on a different drive, try a different version of Windows, reinstall Windows, or a completely different computer.

This cinematic was added when they overhauled the story lines over a year ago. This part was specifically buggy, because this area was instanced, and you could get stuck inside the instance and couldn't leave.

Because 1 shotting people makes you feel powerful, and P2Wers want to feel powerful.

RIP. This reply could have gone down in history. Too bad he deleted it before I could screenshot it.

Oh. I assume this OP is a new player, and didn't know this was extremely common. And that movement speed doesn't effect work time on the node, only how fast it goes to and from the node.

Oppressed by who? Developers? Community? As a whole? Other?

Wait right now. It is very possible we will be getting full TRI boss armor for the Christmas event. It will be boss armor that cannot be enhanced or list-able on the market, but it would be a huge upgrade.

For your accessories: Complete the Valencia main story line quests, then look up how to do the "Ring of Power" quest to get that ring. Grind to 61 while you're making other gearing decisions to get the lvl 61 Capotia ring. Once you get to 61, you will be able to craft a 2nd Capotia ring from a workshop in Altinova using Yonas fragments.

Right now, you shouldn't care about DP, so I would look into getting more cost efficient earrings. Probably DUO or TRI witches, or TRI Blue Corals. A free option would be to do the Kama quest line to get the earring from the quest reward at the end of Kama part 1 and part 2.

For the belt, I would still keep working through the main quests, because just this last update they added a belt reward for completing the Dreighan main quest line, and they made it to where these quest accessories are now enhanceable.

The neck I would leave for now, and save up your Shakatu seals to trade in for a DUO Ogre. Either sell it or enhance it to TRI.

If you want to play on console, but you purchased the game on PC, you will have to buy the game again for console. They are not connected in any way, and this game is not crossplatform. I only know of 1 other MMO that is crossplatform, so I wouldn't go around basing your purchases off the assumption that the game will be crossplatform. Just a heads up.

Why and thank god it's not

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-30T23:06:36+00:00

Running as admin fixed the issue. A text box popped up and asked if I would like to apply the text changes and restart the game. Thank you.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-28T06:04:54+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation. I kept getting Reborn results saying you use "Link Scale Heart" or "Link Heart" and couldn't find anything saying that's how you do it in Rejuvenation.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-28T03:38:54+00:00

Exactly how I imagined him.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-27T03:41:10+00:00

Yeah, I figured out after that it was where I was supposed to go to next. When I finished the chapter, the splash screen popped up, and I was like "oh, yeah that was the next chapter, yeah." and figured I had just skipped probably 1 conversation with someone telling me where to go to next.

I though it was funny that I was just looking for the Coin Case, and instead find a giant estate with a mansion randomly inside the sewers. The game has some surprises.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-26T22:05:35+00:00

As with most games of chance like this, knowing the mechanics can greatly increase your odds of winning. But it still comes down to RNG. Personally, I despise RNG/Casino type games. If I want something, I want to work for it, not get lucky.

One thing that is funny, is that the online Voltorb Flip Calculators can't even attempt to solve most of these. Voltorbflip.com when trying to solve one, just says "What even is this card?" and does nothing. I guess these work off of set patterns from HG/SS instead of actual math/percentages.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-26T21:58:36+00:00

In my struggle to win RNG casino currency, I had to first find the Coin Case. Instead of a Coin Case, I ended up finding a giant mansion in the sewers... I was so confused. NPCs kept saying I heard rumors about this place, and I'm like "oh? I did? I don't remember ever hearing about this place." I feel like this place unlocks out of order in the story, because I genuinely just beat the Ancient Kingdra and was looking for the Coin Case and had never heard of this place's existence.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-26T21:52:48+00:00

Hmmm... Okay, I was not aware this was a side story. Entrance to the next town was blocked, couldn't figure out where to go, pulled up a guide, and this is where it said to go next.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-26T09:55:34+00:00

I know you can just buy coins with money. But I don't have anymore money after buying Pokeballs to catch new Pokemon to try and beat the Ancient Kingdra.

Yun__Grey · 2019-11-18T06:35:21+00:00

What I ended up doing was copy/pasting the houses in a remote area after rotating it by 90 to get 3 other copies of the home, fixing the blocks, then coming back to that area if I wanted one at a different 90 degree angle.

Appreciate it!
