    Pap has no Dcs, only zak so far. I was on windows mode and changed it to full screen, no dcs whatsoever. So I pinpointed the problem, it's windows mode that's freezing the screen.

    Is everyone who is having these errors getting them while playing in windowed mode, or is anyone getting them in full screen mode too?

    Just did another Zakum in full screen. No D/Cing, but in the end the screen flashed rapidly. I alt tabbed, went back in maple and the flashing disappeared.

    Update: Sorry for double posting. I zakumed in full screen and it kept flashing , alt tabbed and it fixed it for a few minutes then it just constantly flashes. Third time i alt tabbed, it wouldn't let me take control of my comp so i tried ctrl alt delete and alt f4, didnt help. Had to shut down the comp.

    Another issue I have seen multiple people have is other windows (item inventory, party tab, guild tab, etc) glitching out.

    For example, someone can open the party window and only parts of the window will appear, the rest will be invisible as if some other window was covering it. Additionally, this happens everywhere as I have seen it happen personally at ludi. However, it seems to occur more often at zak.

    Also, raising or lowering graphics fixes the issue (only about 70% of the time though). After changing graphics settings, the windows appear as they normally do; no cut off/invisible parts.

    For my personal experience at zak, changing graphics settings worked to fix the windows. However, during my experience with the same issue at ludi, this did not work. What did was closing the client completely and restarting it (Relogging alone did NOT fix it).

    Yeah, this happens to me at least once per Zak. I have to turn gfx down and then change it back up to fix it.

    I also got the C++ error dc.

    Missing windows and C++ error happened on both my runs. Both played on windows mode. I only downloaded new files. Windows 7.

    These two were the only problem for me. I'll try full screen the next time.

    Hi, yesterday i was at zak run with illuminate and other guild mates, and i get same problem as NuclearCow explained. I opend my party window and i just saw a part of window so changed my graphics and my MS client disappeared from screen, i could see it only on taskbar. I heard sounds from MS but couldnt see anything. I tried to alt tab it and ctrl alt del it nothing helped... so i had to end task and relog.

    I managed to make it through a whole Zakum yesterday with Mike and Umang, what works for me is windowing (Alt+Enter) if your screen freezes/graphics blink/screen flash. After you window simply full screen again and it works (it will do it multiple times, I had to sue this method 10-12 times during our run but it got me through the whole thing.)

    Another thing I'd like to add is that the graphics freeze/screen flash etc problems continue to occur after Zakum until you relog.

    Yesterday we did 2 runs and there we're no Bugs or d/cs, it was perfect. Today's run the flashing came back. :( Just a report to see if you adjusted anything with the server within the past days!

    Zakum 2nd body and 3rd body did not cast a single spell or attacked. 1st body was casting and attacking fine.

    I believe part of the zak d/c issues is related to Windows 8. I've zakked with Windows 7 recently and had no problems, but I did it twice with Windows 8 and d/ced both times. At least once I got the party/guild/etc window only being partly there.

    Anyone else running Windows 8 d/cing at zak?

    -Zak is glitched after B1.
    -B2 and B3 doesnt cast skill, attack, or weap def up.
    -Jacek "GorkyParked" is stucked in the map for the 3 Zaks I've done, after he dc'ed in the run.
    -Drops are bugged. Last run dropped 2 Genesis, 2 Smokescreen, 2 Air strike, 3 Certs, 0 Helms.

    Alright. I've done some thorough testing with Lazz and Lance. I don't know what was wrong with your Zakum, but I've spawned a high number of Zakums to check, and even spawned one manually using an Eye of Fire at Zakum's Altar several times to be a 100% sure.

    The problems with Zakum's appearance and the d/c's caused by the lack of so-called "GFX"s are happening for me on Windows 7, 8.1 and Mac OS X. The problems are particularly bad when I'm using Mac OS X (which is common knowledge by now). I can't tell you anything about it, though, I'm not a developer.

    However, I haven't encountered ANY problems whatsoever with a lack of attacks from Zakum's 2nd and 3rd body. Drops also seemed fine; got ~12 Gene20s in 80 Zakums, which is a relatively normal rate, may it be a bit higher than the usual 12-13% ratio, and 2-4 Zakum Helmets almost every run. You probably got lucky. :o
