Hey everyone,

I wanted to create this post to gather feedback from players who use the Java client. It goes without saying that we're now at this point that is only a matter of time until we get rid of Java as only a small percentage of our players use it.

At the time of this post we can't give a date on the removal but we'd like to use this opportunity for you to give us feedback on why you're not using the NXT client so we can improve it for you.

If you feel like your PC can't run NXT, please include the specs of your PC so we can take a look!

Yes i still use java, whenever i use nxt it always takes a few seconds for models and textures to load in one by one, even if its places i've recently tele'd to. No matter how long i leave the client in lobby or use it ingame, it feels like everything has to reload back in every day and even in the same session if you're teleporting around the models and whatnot cant keep up. Sure in java it takes like 5mins before i can really use the client when i boot it up (which nxt needs also before its usable) but atleast then everythings already loaded up when i teleport around

Ohh and similarly the bank, omg its annoying cus every time you reload the client you have to scroll down and load up every item one by one

Plus something even more annoying, whenever i've got the nxt client on it makes a static noise come through my speakers, never had anything of the sort from anything else. Gets even worse when you move the camera cus then its almost like a buzzing

Also do NOT axe java before you fix the bug that prevents certain items (like cosmetic event tokens) from appearing on the ge. That bug is getting more frequent it feels

I can tell you that this bug in particular has now been fixed, the rest of your feedback (thank you btw!) I'll chase up

i use NXT primarily, except when i am forced to use java because i cant buy an item on the GE that wont show up on NXT but will on java.

That bug is now fixed :)

I get the feeling that a lot of java users try NXT without letting the cache build fully, and when they see lots of assets missing/aren't loaded, they just think that it isn't working for them and go back to java.

It'd be nice if there were a better way to forcefully make NXT load the entire cache before logging in. Right now you can sit in the lobby to do this, but it isn't very clear when it's done and most people don't know about it. Just a button and a progress bar would be good enough.

I agree, I've suggested if we can add a way to make it more visible, maybe even stop players logging in until they've downloaded an "optimum" amount of the cache?
