Thread: Circumventing the Game Errors

  1. #1

    Default Circumventing the Game Errors

    1. Semi-invisibile mount (only the mane and tail are visible) or character:
    • Zoom in the camera (with the mouse wheel) and zoom it back out.


    2. Several horses neighing and panting:
    • Dismount the horse.


    3. Your character is running upon the back of your fine steed:
    • Find water to jump in.


    4. You press SHIFT (the sprint key), but your character is not sprinting:
    • Press "H" to hide and stop hiding;
    • If you are in combat, find someone who can knock you back;
    • Find water and take a swim;
    • Press and hold X (active blocking) or drain your stamina by side-step or by any other means.


    5. Your weapon is "floating" near you:
    • Press SHIFT+R (change weapons) twice.


    6. You opened the chest, but the loot is not showing up:
    • Ask the leader to select "Master Looter" then select "Free for All" again.


    7. You see that other members in your group have low health values, but actually they are healed up.
    • Ask everyone to press SHIFT+R twice.


    8. You are suddenly below the map in a minigame.
    • Relog and reenter the minigame.


    9. You have joined a minigame, but you cannot get into the minigame itself.
    • Press "Leave minigame", close the window, open the window, select the minigame, wait till you disappear from the queue or a message pops up, click the queue again, click "Yes" in the new window.


    10. [Human error, raids only] You (or both sides) petitioned misdistributed or deleted loot to a GM, but he refuses to do anything about it.
    • Petition it again.


    11. Someone in a minigame had used "apprenticeship" on you, and you accepted it. You left apprenticeship during a minigame, lowering your effective level to the real one.
    • Ask someone to use "apprenticeship" on you again to get to a better level. (That does not still solve the problem in full).


    12. You type a private message to someone who is really online, and it says "[name] is offline. Your message has been buffered."
    • He will never see it. Write the same message on a public channel.


    13. You cannot see beards or your character is not updated on the log-on screen.
    • Log on to see the beard. Log on and log off to update the character.


    14. You get "Error 11" while trying to log on.
    • Wait for 5 minutes and try again.


    15. Everything is too blurry.
    • Press F10, select Video, choose "off" in "Antialiasing".


    16. Talisman or talismans are not visible in your hands.
    • Press SHIFT+R (change weapons) twice.


    17. Energy resource covers your typed text, other texts, or just your abilities.
    • Move the Energy resource somewhere, read or type the text, and move it back.


    18. The game asks you to check the database sometimes when you launch it.
    • Don't do it unless the game is not working at all.


    19. The game is not running at all or the patcher is stuck downloading something all the time you launch the game.
    • Try to use Age of Conan Quick Start from curse.com if you are on Windows 7 or below to skip the patcher.


    20. The game asks you to verify itself before launching the patcher.
    • Skip it unless the game refuses to work properly.


    21. The friends list is not showing up (none of your friends are online), and you want to see offline friends.
    • Find someone online and type /ignore <name> twice.


    22. You see a tiny little window after launching the game.
    • Focus on the window and press ALT+ENTER as many times as needed. Go to options, select your preferred video option (fullscree, windowed, fullscreen-windowed).


    23. You suddenly appear invisible or moving supine or prone on the floor.
    • Jump or zoom in and out.


    24. Your game hangs while you press ALT+TAB.
    • Do not press ALT+TAB during loading screens. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to locate ageofconan(dx10).exe and stop the task.


    25. You see people teleporting around you. You cannot land a hit.
    • Play a character with 2-handed weapons if they are teleporting not too often;
    • Play a caster if they teleport too often.
    • Move to Western Europe with a good Internet provider or move to the USA.


    26. You want to create a group; but one week you can do that, and the other it is impossible.
    • Every first week of every month, it is very hard to form or find a lot of groups or raids because of the World Boss action. Do not quit the game. Wait for a week or two by playing another game or doing something else outside of the game.

    If your sprint bar shows up but you are still not sprinting, you can also continue to 'sprint' until the bar is empty and you get the fatigue effect, and then try again. It should work.

    Also some of those will only work if you haven't changed your key binds.

    "Log on to see the beard"

    THE. BEARD. LOOK. AT. IT.

    This made my day, thanks

    Thanks a lot for the summary here

    I have two more things:

    15. Your stats are not what they used to be
    - Sometimes a power inventory item becomes bugged and is handled as greyed out even if an item is shown in the slot (e.g. it is not counted). Then just remove it to show the greyed slot, relog and reequip the item.
    16. You can't endure the enforced hairstyle you get with some head armors (kel'avask or headdress of the blue sea for example)
    - sometimes it helps to exchange the power item with activated vanity slot. This lets your client at least show the original hairstyle YOU chose and the vanity head armor. But sadly only till the next relog or area transition.

    goes for invisible or semi-invisible tigers and probably rest of the mounts as well.

    for invisible necro in supreme lich form, use the above mentioned tip or go to stealth and unstealth


    btw this list makes me kinda sad..

    Thank you! I have updated it.
    This list is very important for newcomers, and they should study it before playing!

    [LIST][*]Ask everyone to press SHIFT+R twice.
    More accurately, change an item with a Constitution bonus.
    Short cuts make long delays.

    Another fix for this is to use Active Blocking (Commonly referred to as "Active x" since x is the default keybind) for a couple seconds. One your energy bar starts to go down, you should be fixed.

    If anyone knows a perfect fix for when your energy bar goes down by itself when you aren't doing anything, let us all know.

    Maybe you can add the annoying database check thingie?

    If the game asks you to check the database everytime you launch it - don't do it. If it ain't broke - don't let it fix it
