Ok, so I noticed during the mini-event today that a lot of you had crashed or d/c'd with .bin errors. Let me give you some advice to prevent, if not reduce the amount of, these errors.
This should work with both Windows XP and Vista.
1. Download the manual Patch, I noticed that with wireless connections or just slow connections, the Patcher tends to have hiccups, and may down fully download all the components. The Manual patch is here http://www.outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124286
2. I recommend increasing your Page Filing and Performance for your Windows Client, which is quite simple, and will reduce load times, and solve some of those pesky Lag issues. Go to your Control Panel, and click on the System Tab, then click on the Advanced tab. Find the Performance Box, and click Settings.
3. There is two steps here, first, Even though you make like the cool way your Dekstop Looks, all those nifty backrounds and colors and stuff you've done to it, actually slows down your processing speed if you don't have a Decent Processor (Core, Athlonx2, Dual Core, etc). So on the First Page on the Settings box which you've opened. Click Adjust for Best Performance, it'll make your Desktop look oldschool yes, but if you're a hardcore fiesta gamer, or tired of waiting 5 mins to load then disconnect, it's well worth it.
3 b. Ok, now your Page Filing. Click the Advanced Tab in the Same Settings Box you've opened before. Adjust performance for Programs, not backround services. Then, you'll see a Number below that for your Virtual memory, and Page Filing. Depending on what specs you're running, it should be Anywhere between 256, and just over 4,000. I recommend increasing it to about 3000 Minimum, and 4,000 maximum. This will allow your Computer to start off a lot smoothed, and Increase the amount of Beatings you can give it, by running Fiesta and whatever backround Programs (Like MSN, iTunes, etc).
You're going to do a Normal Reboot after you've changed these settings, and by the way, pressing the restart button on your Computer, is Not a good idea, as it doesn't save changes you've made usually, and over time wears out your Motherboard. Use the Restart Icon in your Start Menu after you've saved any information you had running beforehand.
4. Clear your browsing history and Temporary internet files. These take up space, and are unecessary to keep around unless you have files stored there, or pages you need to view on a regular basis. like pr0n. If you feel ambitios, and know a bit about computers, go download the trial version of TuneUp Utilities 2009, it saves the average person about 888.5 megabytes of Space, just clearing duplicate files and missing//unshared .dll files or Empty Folders and lingering Program files that are no longer required.
Also, as a Quick side note. Norton Anti-Virus is crud, like I mentioned in game. It takes about 60% of your virtual memory when it's running, and is over all a Giant Lag Creator. Find some nice Freeware like Avast, or ClamGuard, they both are Free, take Minimal Virt Mem. to run, and take up WAY LESS SPACE ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. (Norton being around 2gigs? and Both Avast and Clamguard being around.... 70megabytes Max?)
Hope to see you all in Game with less Whining and More Grinding!
Rock on Apoline. Rock On :D
