*HOT issues/ Bugs/ etc. here please

I’ve decided to stop trying to make my laptop suitable for running HoT. This is mainly because I want to have the glitch art, I’m not supposed to be playing games on this laptop in the first place, and I can play it on my desktop computer.
Thank you for trying to help me, though, Kaive and Avanti and Whry and Firewolfe.

Hey guys, got back sooner than expected. Avanti, I’ll have a look at those links tonight after work, also I’ll check the files I’ve got to make sure if anything looks out of place. I save each build just in case something like this were to happen, so I get to play detective later :3

Firewolfe it looks like it is likely just a scripting issue, and if you haven’t had this issue again then it is probably just some leftovers from the last version(which is likely if you updated and didn’t restart, the old version would still be active-ish in the system memory alongside the new one, something rather important for data recovery btw) and the error was unable to be reproduced again , then this is likely the case and would not require a clean install, which might be required if some other program is accessing the files(not sure how often it would happen on windows, but it happens every now and then on Wine, mostly due to having to use different wineprefixes and using more then one prefix at once) in which case said error wouldn’t happen unless the resource greedy program is active(also happens to be a cause for many graphical issues, I’ve seen plenty of games not work in windows for some reason, then work fine in safe mode) so yeah, probably not a big issue, if it happens again then you would probably have to manually go in and fix it, which would be rather complicated without knowledge of what is causing the problem…

Does that mean I’m off the hook? ^^;

(Will mark this issue as ‘maybe resolved?’ in my bug notes.)

That seems to be the case. I’ve messed around with the items several times now and the error doesn’t come up, so it must have been an installation glitch since I didn’t restart. That being said, I -suppose- Kaive is off the hook~ XD

Not yet, but I’ll holler if I find any 😀

Well like I said(I believe in another thread) about the online issues, its something that’s an issue with most browsers, for Firefox(and Chrome) its due to them using up a lot of system memory(my atm is using 420MB probably going to have to relaunch it soon) and once it reachs a certain amount(~720MB-1200MB depending on your system, OS, firefox setup, etc) the browser experiences severe lag and even crashes, the simplest solution is to play online games in a light weight browser(like Midori on Ubuntu) open in a seperate browser, or launch a new instance of said browser under a new process, and this issue won’t be resolved unless there are major overhauls to the browsers themselves(and Java, the code is quickly reaching its limits) then all you could do is try to make it use less browser resources(which would likely involve removing several features) or have the end user, at the very least, close some of those extra tabs/windows they have open(as an exception to this, however, in custom builds of firefox or exceptionally good computers(think $23000ish custom built ones) there is no issue with online at all, even when having as many as 1300 tabs open(only seen this once tho)) but yeah, its a major issue with the browsers, I’ll go link hunting and see if I kann find something new about it, other then that, not much kann be done other then not opening a lot of tans/windows, and regularly restarting your browser :I.
