Drifter Cavern Cows

[Artemina]

I've made a couple of trips to the Drifter Canyon to see if i can russle me up some Cow parts, but i have not found any cows or Sorceresses. Is this because of the same problem that keeps the Champion Diablos from appearing in Act 3 or is it an actual change?

[jmmijo]

Are you running v1.08 of AR ?!? If so then I think it's because Teknokyo has basically finished only ACT1 and is currently working on the rest of the acts, mainly to see what monsters and such work good together in different acts and at different difficulty levels

[Artemina]

Yes, I am running the latest AR and there are changes to later Acts, including Act 5. The animations for Frozenstien and his crew is totally different The 3 Ancients drop various sets in Nightmare, etc. Just no COWS in the Cavern.

[jmmijo]

Then I'd have to say that Teknokyo is going to be changing this or add them back in when either the final v1.10 patch is released or when he finds time, not sure which.

Try resetting your maps. I've had that problem too with special bosses not spawning, but it's always fixed if you reset your map files. Happy hunting!

How does one "reset ones map files"? You mean by going from Nightmare then to Hell and back to Nightmare again? Or is it a programing thing? Thanks in advance.

Exactly. Alternatively, you can delete the map files of your character (the ones with .ma# extension).

You can also start a tcp/ip game to reset the map.

Okay. I am willing to try and reset the maps but first I am wondering has ANYONE seen the Cows in the Drifter Cavern?!

When I try to make a socketed item with HB parts I get an Assertion error that kills the game.

LOD - 1.10s
AR - 1.08b

Reproduced with Assasin and Druid on 2 different systems.

I got the same failure as Deveron, I tried to socket a superior ornate plate with the jawbone-spleen-brain recipe and the game froze. I didnt recieve an exact error text though, I just hit escape and went back to the desktop. I was thinking it might have something to do with the fact that the recipe is for normal armor not superior but then it shouldnt have froze up it should have just not done anything.

My game would freeze too. If I hit escape I would just go to the desktop. If I hit ALT + TAB when this happens I can view the Assertion failure. This happens with Yellow or Standard Items.

ok dont get off topic now
im new and have the same problem or is the cow level for ar 1.8b or am i just confused and dont tell me that i have to reset my maps cause i do ... every day

[ShaggyEHO]

It's a beta, it's not completely done yet. Some stuff has been changed, other stuff isn't quite done yet. The drifter cavern is probably one of those places that isn't done yet. Give Tek some time to complete the 1.09 version. 1.08b is still beta... Don't worry, it's not your game or you, it's the mod that's not completely done, yet.
