Announcement Site Server Migration

I will be moving the website to the new server at a new data center starting next Friday-Sunday; I do not know exactly how long it will take but hopefully it'll be fairly quick and painless.

There will also be a game server migration in the future, however there is some preparation and testing needed before that will be ready.

It's impossible to adjust terrain of maps themselves, so adjusting your plot would not be possible. Customizing plots is also something only offered on Baerton customs (as it's the only place they apply and retroactively are applied to other islands later), and is only offered for the original purchaser of the plot.

You can look for a spot for a new house, and create a ticket for me to approve it and set a time when I can create the plot for you.

50% Dragon's Prophet Diamond Bonus Weekend 7/25-7/29

Been sick and busy last few days so completely forgot about sale; sale will run until this coming Wednesday (maybe longer depending on how hectic this week is for me) and I've set it to 50% again.

For people who purchased Diamonds I will be sending the difference in what has been purchased/redeemed and it will be in your inventory.

Apparently the sale had not been disabled so it's been running since last sale; will keep it active until Wednesday still.

Bug Report Texture quality stuck at medium

There are 2 ways to fix this easily and it is not hardcoded to windows 7, thats not true. It is a faulty function in the directx10 command, that gives a non valid number to the client. They coded that it is not possible to set the texture to high, if the gpu memory is less than 768mb. The non valid number tells the client, that you have zero memory, thats the cause.

Fix 1:
download Releases · doitsujin/dxvk
copy (x64) d3d10core.dll, d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll in your root folder of dragons prophet. Start the game (dp_x64)and set it to high. It can cause crashes but it can resolve crashes aswell. Depends on the system, it seems amd gains the most. There is also a possibility of increasing fps up to 30%.

Fix 2:
modify the .exe. There are a few ways to make it happen.
for example dp_x64.exe + 0x7F7163 offset: 0x7F6563 change 74 10 to EB 10
this is the "safest" method but if it gets patched/changed you have to do it again/write a script

From memory, the function was deprecated with Windows Vista, and abandoned in the later patches of Windows 7 with the release of newer DirectX updates; it was never updated in the game. It's a single line fix to use the newer recommended function but requires a full recompilation of source for server and clients, when there are a number of bugs preventing that.

DXVK only solves the issue because it is a translation layer, and it is likely bypassing the function entirely. It also does not work as a fix because of x86 memory limitations (the x64 client is just a psuedo-x64 application) so once you hit the memory limit you will crash. It also crashes on quite a number of skills and in general introduces more instability, which is why it has not been pushed as a patch for the nVidia GPU/AMD CPU green line issue.

The majority of players also should not be hex editing when most of them do not understand the bare minimum in what they to do, even with a script.
