Ok, fired up everything (using the debug ver of login server) and shortly after clicking 'login' the following error popped up:
Code:
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Error!
Program: C:\Servers\EQ\Server\login_util\EQEmuLoginServer.exe
HEAP CORRUPTION DETECTED: after Normal block (#918) at 0x003BD658.
CRT detected that the application wrote to memory after end of heap buffer.
Abort / Retry / Ignore
just for s.a.g. i clicked 'ignore' and was logged in to char select.
created a char, and logged in ok.
/q'd out and got the same error again - was brought back to the server select screen with an empty server list.
rebuilt the login server 'release' and fired up everything again.... it seems i was 'hasty' in trying to log in and needed to give the server a minute or two to settle down/initialize everything as i can login now.
yea!!!
