I am not sure what it means either maybe u/darkimmortal can help. I do not get any stutters or anything as described by you or others in this thread, am very grateful but at same time wish I could help you guys!

Edit: are you running compressed or uncompressed textures? I just tried uncompressed and get insane stuttering, compressed is smooth as butter

The colours don’t mean anything, it turns more red as the value increases, but that doesn’t equate to anything bad

Yeah, ever since the lockouts the client has been progressively running worse and worse for me. For the last week, teleporting to a new area takes ages to load the environment, and everything is usually just the blank shade of white and can stay like that for over a minute.

Also, has the multi threaded rendering ever been re-implemented? If I remember right, u/darkimmortal said it was taken out because it caused too many issues and that it would come back sometime in January. I was a bit out of the loop for January and early February though.

Multi threaded rendering has been enabled again for a while

Can you instead respond to the main topic? even if there is no concrete answer yet, anything is better than nothing.

The crashes do seem to be the main topic, or at least the OP's main complaint

Alongside that the frame drops / lag spikes - we are focusing on these currently with some nice improvements on the way. GPU optimisations are also being looked at

That's why I also tested synthetic with everything hitting 100%

There are multiple RAM issues, one of them being: "the instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s. (c0000005)"

That's just a generic crash message, we removed it in favour of the windows crash dialog for new installations. It doesn't reveal anything about the reason for the crash.

If you reinstall the game and get a normal windows crash dialog, paste the contents of 'problem details' here and I can look at diagnosing the cause. Or if you can pull the details from Event Viewer, that will do too

Why are we unable to get a full newspost of all the Awesome April week information in advance?

The development cycle for these events is much shorter than our usual timescale, given how the events themselves are a reaction to a situation that has and still is consuming a lot of resources. Information is constantly changing and so are the plans, meaning as much as we want to outline everything we're doing this month we're not in a position to do that.

See it less as a 'lost grove' quest and more of a 'Elven quartet' quest... exploring the 4 elves instead of an area and Solak.

It's late here, but wanted to give you at least a basic answer to your question. Solak, Merethiel and Erethdor were the first characters I wrote and even designed, so their stories aren't fleshed out fully within the game and lore so far... I hope to be able to expand more upon them in the future

As someone else mentioned here, Solak is of anima mundi but way less of a threat than say Telos or Vorago just based on his mindset and desire to protect. Powerful, but likely won't ever use it.

Merethiel and Erethdor however... (Pinch of salt with what I had/have planned for their story) These two tapped into darker and forbidden elven magics from the grimoire that Erethdor stole. A type of magic so incredibly dark and comes at a massive cost to the user and the world, by this I mean, to use the magic, the user needs to tap into the earth or nature around them.

Erethdor being the powerhungry elf he is, really took this to another level with his attempt to use the h...

Kinda sad, I hope the lost grove and solak get integrated in the story somehow (maybe with a storymode solak so lorehounds can still experience the fight as backstory?)

Hope so too :D I have plans for a quest but as it's a spare-time thing, it's hard to find the time to make solid progress

So, Solak is just a being of Anima Mundi, on the same conceptual level as Telos or Vorago. Telos is definitely more powerful, canonically, resting within the Heart of Gielinor. But Solak was there to defend The Lost Grove, because of the power sealed within "the heart of the tree." Guthix found him, and appointed him a Guardian of Guthix, and Seren sent 4 elves to go help out. Two of these elves were Merethiel and Erethdor. Erethdor learned of the heart and wanted it for himself, was defeated, and his mind snapped in two, one half going within Solak and one into the stone Merethiel holds.

I wouldn't put Merethiel or Erethdor in any great power rankings, besides being ancient elves. Solak is originally between Telos and Vorago, in my mind, and his corruption wouldn't do much to affect this.

Both Erethdor and Merethiel tapped into the dark elven magic in the grimoire Erethdor stole. Whilst this doesn't make them powerful, it does give them access to magic we've not seen before... Who knows how powerful ;)

After sending succesfully one voyage, the game now seems to stack them all and doesn't let me to send the voyage. https://imgur.com/a/zTongBW -Look at the stats of the crewmember (lvl2 doesnt normally have that high stats). EDIT: Seems like only the first ship is bugged

Hey, I'd recommend using our Aftercare to try recover your POP crew, hopefully they can help you out - https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360018668777

Hey everyone. If the Aftercare form wasn't letting you submit your ticket over the past 24 hours, please try again now.

Has the error when trying to submit an aftercare ticket been addressed yet? Your last comment on that was a few hours ago and I simply wanted to check in.

It's some security bits in the way. Still being worked on.
