D2OL Problem...

[Jagators]

I have a Drive on one of my nodes about to give up the ghost. Is there a way to keep my current node ID and stats when I replace it?? Also, I'm getting tired of baby sitting these 8 boxes because of spinning wheels. Anyone know of a fix coming out to help this problem?? I haven't been on this project that long, but the first client I downloaded didn't seem to have this problem.

I'm having the same exact problems. They need to go back to the old client. :disgust:

To keep the same node ID, back up the file <D2OL home>\D2OL\res\node.prp. Then if/when you reinstall the client, exit out of the install at the point where it asks you to enter an e-mail address, and copy the file above to the proper place. You can also do the same with the stats.prp file for stats.

I like the speed of the new client but I'm losing about 30% of my production due to the constant lock ups. I'm to the edge of my patients right now.:|:|

Thanks MM..

NO It was not . I am sorry. I am very frustrated with this project, it seems to waste more cycles than it uses

Well Ken, the mods locked your rant, that is extremely rare to have a thread locked here in DC.

actually, I think it was a bit unfair to lock it down.

Yes, it was a rant, but it was also a call for action for TeAm D20L to let Sangent know about the frustrations of the team, and I think that that has its place. Maybe if the tone was turned a little? /shrugs.

I'm thinking about giving the project one more week, and if it continues to require that I still baby sit it, I will look for something else. :disgust:

I'm also willing to give them a little longer to fix the problem. We have to remember that the new client just came out and it will take them some time to fix. They should have a better method for pre-release testing to avoid these problems but it is too late for that now. I hope they will learn their lesson for further client releases.

I have one particular machine (my fastest) that is constantly locking up so until the problem is fixed I'm going to switch that pc to a different project.
