Keep crashing.....

[malbolger]

Ok i just set everything up.... i got EQ EMUlogin or what ever it is... i got the owrld running, i can get in make a char... then when i try to play that charecter, it starts like it's gonna load up then returns me to the server select screen... i checked the World for errors, im getting a few bad bytes or something... but it says my char enters the world and then it just crashs.. Any idea's?

[Hmm]

did you run zone servers? ( 2 is minium but 4 is best )

i have 5 running... they load ok, and enter sleep mode... then when i try to enter the world and connect to a z server i get this string.......

Ignore the maps message, it doesn't mean anything.

There have been other posts with this same problem, read through some of the posts from the last week or 2. I can't remember what they found out.

i was because i had the old DB.sql sourced and not the new one.. Is there a DB.sql file that will work with 3.0 that is a full spawn? or atleast a part spawned world? i downloaded one and i get the same error when trying to run it.

go to the brand new worldbuilder forum and get either Drawde's 0.8 DB or Ariak's DB9 You can also check on www.shownomercy.net for downloads. Be sure to read what version of EQEmu the DB was made for.
