Bug Report Texture quality stuck at medium

So I've been setting up the game and I noticed that my character and the NPCs have unusually low poly faces and bodies (especially the eyes!), which I found odd since I maxed everything out - and then I saw that the texture quality in the settings was set to medium. I set it to high, it said I needed to restart, and... it was still medium with no changes.

After that, I have done the following:
- I ran the launcher to make sure everything is up to date, and I set the texture LOD (which was also set at 2 out of 3, that is, medium) to 3 in the launcher settings as well. The game still launched with medium textures.

- I then found the config.ini in the game root folder, where I found the option "MaxTextureLOD" which I realized corresponded to the texture settings after some testing. If textures were set to low in-game, that "MaxTextureLOD" in the config.ini file would be 0. If the settings were set to medium, it would be 1. If the textures were set to high, it would be 1. I then tried setting it to 2 which would correspond to high only for the game to crash at start up.

- Afterwards, I spent 10 minutes just trying random numbers in the config.ini file for the textures. Setting it to 7 or something like that would have everything be super low poly. Setting it to 10 has the statue in the login screen be super high poly, but the characters super low poly, and other such experiments.

- I then went to the forum and I saw that someone else had this issue around 5 years ago, here: Bug Report - Solved - Texture Quality?? Bug Report - Solved - Texture Quality 'High'?.... doubt, but it was reported to have been fixed in a new client and that beta testing for that client is out. Since I'm getting the issue, does that mean that the client update still hasn't happened? But that seems odd since the original report was 5 years ago. Can that beta client be accessed? Did I perhaps download a wrong version? Or maybe this is related to my drivers? I am running AMD.

Edit: And I'll also add that the version I am seeing in the launcher is 3.0.1817.live, for clarification.

Thanks.

God bless you guys

Credits are our free currency, and you earn it by being active on the site; there will be some changes to that with a site update in the future, but for now it's a bit limited due to a bug.

Platinum is the paid currency, and can be used to buy Diamonds across all of your accounts; if you pay $20, you can split that into 4-$5 purchases across 4 accounts for example.

Merchandise is currently offline, though I will be bringing it back with the future site update. Make a ticket with what you were interested in, and I will see if any the print services we use ship to Serbia; shipping can be a bit expensive just a warning.

Also just let me know what name you want and I will change it for you.
Thanks! I'd rather use my Discord nickname - "Sneedles". I also accidentally made a new account with the same name when I saw that this one has all the slots used up and I didn't know the secondary password to delete the existing characters. Only realized there's more accounts IN one account, AND that you can reset the secondary password, what a goof.

Opened a ticket for that, though.
Glad to have you.

God bless you guys

Hello, I'm a "returning player" of sorts. I've never been a fan of MMOs nor had I ever put in any real time into any of them - besides one. This game. This game meets my niche completely, as a dragon "fanatic" of sorts. This game is my "teenagehood" and the rocky-ness of its lifetime has been a sad thing for me.

I got a strong itching to play it and was thinking about it strongly recently, only to remember and see that this private server is still up. God bless the people developing, maintaining and playing this game. You people truly deserve all the best, and so do the original developers. I love this game, and I love you guys for letting me play it again. It is truly a woe that it doesn't have a large following, as it is the only MMO that ever caught my attention (the rest were incredibly boring). Perhaps we're just a weird bunch.

While I'm here, I suppose I'd ask two things while the client is downloading:
- I see that there's two currencies on this website, "Platinum" and "Credits". I already seem to have a fair amount of Credits from what was probably my playthrough from a couple of years ago, I recall the site being different back then. Are Credits a free currency? How does one earn Credits? Is it from the game or perhaps something that needs to be done on this site?

- I saw the "Merchandise" option on the left hand side, and I'd be interested in buying a shirt or something perhaps (not sure if shipping to Serbia would even be possible), just as a little token of the only MMO I ever liked, but when I press the button it just leads me to a Cloudflare Error 1000 "DNS points to prohibited IP". Is this a temporary thing? What's the status there?

Thanks once again.

PS: I did manage to login to my old account, but the forum name "DumbNFat" is a bit crude and I'd like to change it if possible - I did finish college and I'm on track to lose 40kg, so neither really applies anymore, hah. A fragment of old times.

Bug Report Marketplace crash

Hi, just to let you know I can open the marketplace, no issues, but when I go to click on the specials tab the game closes instantly, everything else works as it should, unsure if this is known about or not, no big issue, i'll just avoid the specials tab for now (^,^) many thanks.

Just upgraded gpu, now I get flashing green lines in game

I found a system that I have that can reproduce the issue (3 that don't, 1 that does), so figured I'd try to testing.

The power saving may or may not work, because it is just offloading your graphic rendering to an onboard GPU; that said it is not an actual solution, but it does show it is specifically nVidia GPU (for this specific issue).

I am wondering if the issue is specific to nVidia GPU when using a AMD CPU, as so far that has been the case for the examples I have seen.

I need people to actually submit their system specs to narrow things down, as so far no one has submitted a single ticket regarding the issue (even when they were having tantrums about it).
I will submit my specs. Thank you very much for your time on this, it is very much appreciated.

Just upgraded gpu, now I get flashing green lines in game

I reckon I should've shown what the down menu says. I googled a bit and the ryzen 7 cpu does have integrated graphics which would be radeon. The actual big hulking gpu that takes up most of the pc case is the 5070ti tho. It runs everything else. I'm sad to hear it didn't work for you tho but maybe it will for somebody else. Are you able to dedicated ur 5060 solely for the other games u play? Maybe then it won't read the 3060. Like how I told the graphics settings to use power saving for dp only? U might have to do it for every game but if it works...

Just upgraded gpu, now I get flashing green lines in game

So I upgraded to a new pc and got the same problem with the 5070ti. I'm not entirely sure cuz the description when I bought the pc didn't mention it but this new rig's got a power saving graphics option. I swapped over from the "let my pc decide" option to the power saving option and the green lines have so far disappeared. Idk if anybody else has what I think is integrated graphics (I know very little bout computers lol) and a dedicated gpu but it might be worth looking into especially if a secondary gpu isn't available or easily attainable. Bring up ur start menu and search for graphics settings. You can search for the games .exe files where it says browse or add app. Then just use the drop down menu to swap ur graphics over if another is available. Maybe this'll help somebody. Maybe not but I figured I'd share.

Bug Report Game Crash at Launch

Hey bud. I have a AMD Ryzen 8700.
Post automatically merged:


I will go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling. If not, I will redownload and follow that process. As far as checking if the app doesn't fully shut down, I will look at my task manager.

Update: So I managed to get the game running and to my surprise, during my very first dungeon, app closed on its own. And after I tried to restart the app, same thing happened again. Not sure if this is a sign but this feels like I am throwing my Sunday down the drain.
I have a strange feeling might be something to do with amd drivers? I have a 9070xt and amd ryzen 7900x. Crashes on launch every time. But I have not had a chance to try older drivers yet

What graphics card do you have?

The first thing to do, if you haven't, is uninstall and reinstall. If it still happens, you could try downloading the client again. Even following the instructions perfectly can't stop a random hiccup.

Otherwise, it kind of sounds like your initial session isn't fully shutting down, somehow, thus causing a conflict? You could try looking through the task manager to check on that.

I presume there are other possibilities, but my tech savvy is limited.

Good day folks. Just joined the ranks of you guys while looking to replay this great game. I followed the install guide to a Tee and now when I try to launch the game, I find myself having to restart my PC after every subsequent launch as it just closes immediately. Tried searching on the forums for something related to a fix on this. Not sure what else to do at this point except restart my rig every single time. Any info would be appreciated.
This is probably better for a ticket, as it's a weird edge case.

Next time you play, take a screenshot of your task manager before and after you close the game, and see if the .exe closes properly.

Sneak-Peeks of New Dragons

Edited original post. Due to my inactivity, I could not justify continuing to have posts locked behind paid memberships, and so all sneak peek posts have now been made free to access.

DP is not something I have forgotten about, and I still have projects I would like to do/finish, but between a full-time job and my tendon issues, it's difficult to find the time, motivation, and/or feel well enough to finish/start any projects.
Real reason is that she doesn't love us anymore :(.
