Installed the patch, and it's crash city for me. Five out of six games have crashed for me within two or three minutes of starting the game.
Same boat as Emperor.... finished one game out of 8 with 7 crashes to desktop. Not seeing any pattern with the crashing either. :S
Crashing here as well. although turning the graphics slider all the way down helped a bit. Before I did that I was crashing every 2-3 minutes, after turning the slider down I made it 10-15. My sound was cutting out like crazy. I don't know if this is related to the crashes or not, but my sound seemed to be the first thing to cut out before the CTD. That said, my framerate was better. Everything seemed smoother as well. Melee feels A LOT different to me although I can not put my finger on it. Faster maybe? Light strikes seemed faster and more fluid now. It seemed more responsive. I did not seem to land a single DBash though. It could have just been a fluke. It's going to take some getting used to. Sorcerer no longer has the glass sword. It never broke once, so that's good. The heal and poison beam have instant feedback now as well, this is f'n awesome! It was hard to tell if it was faster at healing, but at least I can tell who I am healing right away. I did kill a few people with the poison beam and it seemed quicker, but I have no idea if they were low on health to begin with. Maybe placebo? I like it so far, minus the sound and CTD of course, looking forward to the hotfix.
Does anyone know if we ended up getting a new map? They kept mentioning one as being in the patch, but I didn't see one in the notes.
Yeah, stability is out the window. Audio is glitching and stuttering like crazy. Graphics have gone back to bloom and smear without the settings file having the correct values for such. Forcibly turning graphics up is really bad for people like me with much older equipment, hope that gets hotfixed tonight. Can't really evaluate anything else about the patch because the game is unplayable. Just crashed out of a Karsus that was 7v12. Either they didn't fix the matchmaking or we were just permanently down several players from crashing, but I'd bet the patch didn't fix anything based on all the rest that's broken. So add that to the to-do list.
i think crashing related to new players entering match forcing others out... sometimes queue is 10 and then boom ur joining
