Can't Play in Fluorite AT ALL W/o Crashing BADLY

[femalecreature]

'Ello there, I'm having quite a bit of trouble with my FeralHeart these days.

I downloaded FeralHeart on a Mac computer in pretty good condition; then, I downloaded August 22 markings and a map. It was pretty good, considering that I got onto the map first. Everything worked perfectly on the map, and none of the markings were messed up or anything.

But the real trouble made itself very clear when I logged into Fluorite Plains (and other maps, but it's usually happening in the Plains). I tried to F3 down to Stone Bridge to see what was up but instead got a...

CRASH.

I have no clue why it's doing this. I didn't have any problems with the installed map and not even FeralHeart itself until I logged into the character in Fluorite. Now it's gotten so bad that I can't even move my camera without crashing. Overall, the gameplay crashes a lot more than it should. It's always worked perfectly fine on some of my other computers that aren't Macs - my PC has much more crap downloaded onto it than this computer, yet it still runs FeralHeart much better than this Mac.

Do you have any suggestions? I've tried switching the Ogre render things a few times but I really want to get to the root of the problem, as I want to enjoy my game wherever I go.

I can't give much information or pictures, but here:







I hoped those images helped. Please, I need a solution. :C

Crashing the Fluorite is quite common and your graphics card shouldn't be a real problem. Try to wait it out, however if it doesn't work, try changing your Render System by going to (C:) Local Disk > FeralHeart > ogre.cfg

When you click it you will see a line which will say:

Render System=OpenGL Rendering Subsystem
[OpenGL Rendering Subsystem]

Replace OpenGL with Direct3D9 and go in-game.

However, if that doesn't work either, it may be a server problem so I suggest waiting for Feral Heart to calm down.

I hope this works.^

If the crashing has started since you downloaded the custom content (specifically markings/items packs) chances are that it's a problem with that. Flourite is a densely populated map and if numerous users are using the custom content at any particular time there it could just be that your computer isn't processing it well. I encountered issues before that sometimes cause my game to crash after getting that content.

The fix may be:

- to uninstall/reinstall the add ons to see if there is perhaps a broken file causing the crash. (Also pinpoint which add on is causing the issue)
- Change video settings in the options menu. Not just switching the rendering subsystem to OpenGL or Direct3D9 as you mentioned but also turning the View Distance to it's lowest setting, and possibly remove water reflection.
- Uninstall the content (if worse comes to worse)
