Support Request for Unsupported Version! :P

[mikenune]

I finally broke down and installed a copy of MS Visual Studio .NET (gotta love that MSDNAA thingie! ) and compiled myself a 5.7-DR2 version of EQEMu after making a few minor code changes.

Now, I'm running into a problem. I can start up my servers fine - both World.exe and 9 dynamic Zone.exes just fine with no errors (except for the missing time.cfg file).

Then, I login to the EQEMu servers and fine mine in the list - mikenune's (Non-Legit) World Server - and connect to it just fine.

I get to the character creation screen and create myself say... a Froglok Pally named Jibber.

Then I go out to my World.exe and see my character created OK (he's in the DB too).

Finally, I try to log in with my newly created character and World.exe IMMEDIATELY crashes! I get the stupid Windows popup box saying "Would you like to send a report to Microsoft" and everything.

When I debug the code, it says the problem is right where World.exe tries to determine my starting point. It looks like I'm getting an error right after I pull the information from the DB.

Has anyone else had this problem?

P.S.
The only changes I made to the code was to correct all the mis-spellings of DUAL_WIELD (used to be DUEL_WIELD). And yes, I got them all, otherwise it wouldn't have compiled or at least given me warnings about having an undefined variable.

I also know that it can read the database fine because, as World.exe loads, it tells me that it has successfully loaded something like 27,000 items from the database.
