v0.2.3 Problems

[Wraith]

Well I got on the site today and saw the new verson so I installed all the files and blew away my old eq database. I sourced the new one in the package just fine.

After starting the minilogin, world and boot5zones.bat I noticed a exception being thrown in all of the zone9x windows. It says the merchant_id column is missing from table npc_types. I'm guessing with the new merchant code you needed this but it didn't make the new db.sql script.

Next problem I have is it takes around 5 min to get from the server select screen to the char select screen. I create a char then try to enter the world and it disconnects. This happens every time. So I close down EQ and notice my PC is laggy as hell. I tried bringing up the display settings on the desktop (to check to see if I was in 16 bit and I was) and it took 5 seconds or so to bring up which is horriblely long. The whole system seems laggy so I close all the zone processes, world and login processes. My system returns to normal.

Next I decide to revert back to the old minilogin, zone9x and world.exe files v0.2.2. I only copy those 3 old files to the EMU directory (Overwrote the v0.2.3 ones). I start everything up and it works like a charm. Takes about 1 min to get to the char select screen now and soon as I select enter world within like 10 seconds I am in EQ. I'm not sure if this is just me, but I thought I would mention it.
