Glantri not loading?

Post by Serineth Swiftpaw » Sun Jan 02, 2005 2:05 am

Posted on the Rockhome/Glantri forums too, but I know people seem to freqent this forum as they are there there too, plus someone may know the answer.

Basically I tried to take the boat from Rockhome to Glantri but it said I was missing the "knownworld2_1.hak" file. Downloaded it from their site, installed it, tried to rejoin and... it seems to load, it loads the start area, that flashes on then it loads the "Port Quarter" area, the loading bar gets to the end and it just stays there, doing nothing.

This is exactly the same as the Wemic loading bug if you have ever played a Wemic, but this does it every time, not just occasionally.

Does anyone know what to do? I can't load Glantri, and I am just dominated and in the start tent if I log onto Rockhome.

For those that don't know, the Wemic bug (as well as the 500 other Wemic bug :cry: ) is where the game does what is explained above (loading bar reaches 100%) but it never leaves the loading screen, it just hangs there. It can happen at either one of two times. One when you log on, or two, and most common, when you portal from one to another (i.e. Mikona to Wilderness). The game is still responsive, you can window and unwindow it and pressing escape brings the quit menu up, but there is no mouse and the game has to be force closed [End Program] (quite a serious bug really).

So yeah, if anyone can help :(

Thanks.

I have had that wemic bug with the bar stopping. I just close NWN, and then log on to the server that I was portalling to. It seems that my character has been transferred successfully, as I always manage to log on to the other server without problems, and end up where I am supposed to be.

Yes, I know you can do that, but it still requires force closing the game =/

But the main issue with this is the fact that I can't get onto Glantri at all...

Did you try logging directly to it?

Other than that I suggest that you try going to the CoPaP forums (as you said you had already been to the Glantri forums).

CoPaP can be found at: http://www.copap.org/

The Glantri/Rockhome forums are still part of the COPAP forums as they haven't Migrated off yet. What do you recommend I post on COPAP and where?

It isn't a perfect solution... but what you can do is. Log on, either by direct connect or by portaling to Glantri. If you get stuck in an area. Log off, Server hop to Rockhome. Then wait till server reset. Since, Rockhome and Glantri has persistent location saving. You will only get stuck in the same area, if you don't wait for the reset. Even if you server hop, or take boat.

Once server is reset. You can take boat from Rockhome to Glantri. That should get you out of the transition you were stuck in, and place you at the dock. Only problem is... this usually takes about a day of waiting for server to reset...

I'm not trapped anywhere, it just refuses to actually load, the loading bar just gets stuck :(

But yeah, I knew I could log back onto Rockhome after an hour.

The same thing happened to my character when i was just loading a transition. I'd probably just wait for the servers to reset (which is like NEVER :shock: ) or I'd just reboot my computer, and keep trying and trying and trying. I think how i fixed it was, i waiting a REALLY long time and it eventually loaded. :P

Yep, but same method described above works for transition not loading. From my experience, only few specific transitions does that. So if you avoid them. You should be ok.

pm me with your gs name and char name . il send it to ferrus on msn. if your lucky in a month or so he should get the message and erase your persistant location. also , i dont think this is the wemic bug. about 80% of rockhome was like that a few months back. if you didnt know where you were going you would get stuck loading all the time. you can log into rockhome directely but when you walk back to glantri there is a very good chance it will just warp you back to the dead loading area. it took a hak pack update and about 2 or 3 months to fix rockhome before so i wouldnt hold your breath on glantri getting fixed eny time soon.

For the record, I've never been to Glantri before so this could happen to anyone going from Rockhome to Glantri for the first time...
