I have spent some time on the problem, but not as much as I liked. This is what I have found recently. This also happens on the latest source.
I can create the exact same Male Barbarian Rogue, same starting location and diety, same facial features and depending on the name, depends on if it crashes or not. The server never crashes, just the client. Now get this if on this persons account I have 5 characters and create this 6th character with a name I know will crash, nothing happens. If I delete any character so that named character is now the 5th, the client crashes.
So temporarily we have a dummy character on his account so he can play with this new Rogue called Bingham. This is the strangest thing I have seen on one of my servers yet. I have run into strange problems but not one I could not pinpoint what is causing it. So I have to figure it out, I love a problem like this.
So far names that caused it
Bingham
Binghan
Chronos
I am not sure how the name is related but if I create a character with a name of Zalbat, Tester no crashes. Maybe a sorting issue? A lower alphabet name would fall to the top. That is all I thought of so far. Maybe it is coincidence? I still have a lot of testing to do. Depending on what goes on this weekend, I may have time to spend on it.
