Dedicated Server Troubles

[charcolishen]

Two things to address.

One is, after a vast number of maps have been covered the game begins experience monster spawn lag which has me in a nasty habit of reseting the console every so often. It runs fine with the first couple of maps, some of which were heavy spawn maps but then that just dies slowly after a while.

And secondly, sometimes the spell Ice Shield doesnt seem to register when casted but it uses up the 50 mana anyway. It tends to be constant till about 4-5 casts then it finally works. Really annoying.

Any ideas?

In reply to the iceshield error... I have no idea what you are talking about...

Either you are getting it cast on yourself, a summon is getting it, or a friendly player... if you try to cast it into thin air, it'll usually drain the 50 mana really quickly & give it right back... & it'll keep on repeating...

If you aren't sure if Ice Shield is already cast on yourself...
A) Let a Horror hit you, if you have dark armor & it does 25 dmg; you have iceshield
B) Go into third person, and if you glow blue you already have iceshield

That's all I can think of ATM....

After the previous Ice shield that I casted on myself is broken, i try to recast it. But when I do, sometimes the spell simply wastes 50 MP, doesn't apply the effect and doesn't return the lost mana. Ice shield would normally alert you when you've successfully casted it with 'You are protected with a shield of ice'.

Then somehow, after a couple of recastings (Selecting from the spell menu) it finally applies it. Now if I remember correctly, noone said anything about the spell failing to apply after a successful cast of ice shield.

You don't remember correctly. The fix that everyone uses is to aim up in the air, or something like that.
