Crash to desktop after character selection with 0.5.0 ddr3

[cavedude]

I am having the above mentioned problem when I try to login to my server, whether I am using public login servers or minilogin. I am able to create a character, but when I go to enter the world, the zone crashes, and I am either back at desktop or the whole client locks up. My eqemudebug.log spits out the following:

2003/09/24 05:09:09 GMT: Zone 7995 crashed. Errorcode: 2/0. Current zone loaded:rivervale. Current clients:0. Caused by:
2003/09/24 16:49:19 GMT: Zone 7995 crashed. Errorcode: 2/0. Current zone loaded:rivervale. Current clients:0. Caused by:
etc etc

No error messages are present in world.exe. It passes off the character to the zone server and the zone server immediately crashes. I am unable to see any output in zone.exe because the dos window closes too quick.

I am behind a router, but I do have it setup for DMZ, and I never had problems like this running a 0.4.4 server. The other thing is that I have the same problem using minilogin which isn't effected by the router, obviously.

I have found that it crashes with every character and class combination (that was fun to do LOL) and it also crashes for people not on my local network. My only thought is could it be some sort of database problem? I used tcsmyworld's 0.5.0 database, and I also built my own using the sql files off of CVS, both did the same thing. I was also thinking that could it be the way I compiled? I just did a straight batch compile using Visual C++ 6.0...

I will include a copy of my config files (for public login). I doubt the problem lies there, but hey you never know. If anybody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

I've used TCS database back in 4.4 and got the same problem.
If it's caused by a blank it's usually a problem with mysql (database).

Go into EQAdmin and move the character to a different zone (kanors worked for me), or remove the spawns for a starting zone and try that.

Try and pinpoint down the spawns, or problem doing it. It'll be easy but rough work, but really helpful to others with this problem.

After a bit more testing, I found that I can indeed login to any zones not populated. Any starting zones that are populated causes the client to crash to desktop or lock up. If I delete the spawns in the database, I can login to any zone I wish. Here's the part that is stumping me... I got a character into a safe unpopped zone. I then tried to zone to random zones to see the result. I can get into some popped zones, but most crash me to desktop. I am just going to assume that this is a bug or unfinished part of dr3. I'm certain it will be fixed eventually (wish I could code myself) so for now I am just gonna try to work around it as I build my database.

Remove your database and load a different one.
