LOTRO free to play going ahead.
- Thread starter Sleepery
- Start date
Just leave the launcher running, I think there are settings on it somewhere to allow background downloads. Wes, jpeg compression might be making my screenies better than if they were full size, but I dunno about the view distance. I know the human starter areas are pretty poor looking compared to some of the later areas in the game.
From memory, I think screenshots are stored in a lord of the rings online folder in your My Documents.

LOTRO Problem Still 
I have a good gaming computer that can run games in max settings

When I downloaded it, there was an alternative hi-res installer. Did you use that one initially, or just the normal one?
The hi-res installer option doesn't seem to be there anymore. Jaackla have you upped everything in the advanced graphics tab as well at the graphic one, when you hit Esc in-game and choose options?
This is outside the hunting lodge in the Archet starter zone, a very ordinary looking zone. Your game should look like this:

I went back to playing this afternoon, after a break of several months, and I am getting client crash after client crash, amd drivers fails to respond and then recovers.
Vexing.
updated to 13.1 drivers with no change.
Anyone aware of a known issue with the current build as I couldn't find answers on the very slow US forums?

Hell yeah! Pity my highest toon is still only 62
My Hunter is level 8, i've been playing on my Warg a lot.
Whilst I love LOTRO slowly but surely after each Expansion it gets more expensive to purchase and content is slowly slipping downwards.
Helms Deep Expansion finally what we want but missing a few key elements.
No new instance cluster (they will announce it and make it post expac as per last dev twitter chat they are focusing on helms deep mechanic).
No updates to PvMP (confirmed via twitter as nothing on the horizon).
So in effect we could be paying £27.99 for helms deep alone
Hopefully they'll listen more a tad when the player council goes into full swing

Yes we'll see the rest of Rohan, as well as Edoras etc, but the main feature will be Helms Deep.
I agree with the sentiment that the updates are getting fewer & fewer as the years go by and it's getting more & more expensive too, but that's mostly coming from Warner Brothers now.
I've played for over 6 years now & have 4 x Lv85's in the game, but find it increasingly hard to log in at all, until there's a decent update. Shame really, but they have a good F2P model, but seems little comes back in the way of content updates... they seem to save them now for the expensive Expacs.

Started playing LoTRO during beta, then became a founder when the game was released, and played it fairly solidly for a couple of years. As time's gone on, I've been playing less and less, to the point I've only logged in once since the last expansion was released, and that was only to use my free points to buy said expansion.
Just can't seem to get enthused anymore. Pity.
Go and PvMP if it's within your tastes, Freeps got buffed in the last patch so they can easily kill any Creep of their fancy (providing the Creeps aren't in a Raid). I have a Rank 6 Warg, and i managed to take down a Rank 9 Minstrel on my own a week or so ago, no idea how i did it due to what i mentioned previously, but it was an epic fight between the two of us.

Contrary to the above post I would say avoid PvMP like the plague, the devs ignore it and so should you, more broken than its ever been before. If you want to RvR go and play just about any other game that offers it.
That aside I have to agree with others, bought the game at launch and loved it, but found my enthusiasm wain over time and I do also agree with it being more expensive for less content these days.
