frost armor spell bugged in 1.21 update

[edge[d1]]

this isn't really a help request, but i didn't know where else to put this... more like an info to everyone...

i was testing my map and found out that the frost armor spell wasn't working well - the icy sphere model would dissapear (with death animation) after 2-3 seconds but functionality and buff were still there. and that was the case with all three frost armor spells in there. and i know for fact they used to work.

feeling confident in myself as always, i started a melee game (ogre mound) and took undead; frost armor is messed up in there too. must have come with 1.21 upgrade or something...

well, i'm off to make a workaround trigger; meanwhile, if anyone has some usefull info (what upgrade it came with, what's the easiest way to fix it), post it here...

Just simple download a new patch (US is the best, and the fastest one).

bshit... after 1.21 all orcs started to cry about frost armor, so it must be working

 

[edge[d1]]

okay, i found the best way to work around it (no thanks to two previous posters who didn't even understand what i was talking about)...

the problem is in a buff - i don't quite know why, but it is (which means no triggers are needed). just make a copy of any other buff and set tooltip, icon, models and attachment points; then edit all frost armor spells you use to use that buff. done.

: ahahahahaha make your spell detail high in video options happened to me too because of video options

Works fine for me in the lattest patch and for the 10000 odd other players, jsut must be your comps fault. I play on max everything with 8*AA and 16*AF just so you know that thoes do not cause this bug. And it aint really a bad bug since as long as the effect of it is there who cares about visuals. Try reinstalling if all this does not help since I can insure you it is not bugged in any way.

 

[Need_O2]

no really its because of spell quality in video options happend to me before it happens on every buff effect only stays for 1 second on target

 

[PurplePoot]

No idea what I have my settings on, but it works fine for me (settings are probably on Highest)

 

[Anachron]

It isn't bugged for me aswell.

 

[Need_O2]

Hey why dont you give a try reduce spell detail and see for yourself special effect of every buff will last for 1 second only but Buff icon will still be there for you

 

[PurplePoot]

Aye, I saw it, happens on Spell Detail Low but not Medium or High

 

[edge[d1]]

quite true, i see it now. still, i'm puzzled why frost armor requires medium detail (and since when) when immolation is fine with low details...

 

[Anachron]

Because of his high polys ingame.. without having enough polys acceptated this model won't show up.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Actually, it is a demanding effect, and blizzard made all demanding effects required higher levels of spell detail. There is no poly limate or anything, even if only 1 happens or if 100 happen at once, it makes no difference.

 

[PurplePoot]

Oh, there's a buff field called Required Spell Detail.

That's probably your answer.

 

[Anachron]

Whatever ^^
