Problems with 6.2

[wdrng]

<sigh>
Yup, I can play on another server - just logged in to PEQ the Grand Creation and was able to make a character, and wander the world.
So it must be something with the world.exe and BOTH of my computers.
I can't really think of what it could be - both have completly different hardware (one's a laptop) so I can't see there being a driver issue.
The only thing they really have in common (besides trying to run the same various versions of EqEmu server files) is WinXP SP2 and various security updates.
Anybody know if some windows security updates are causing known problems?

In point form, the server files I've used have been:
- release 6.2 binaries from sourceforge (both with and without MickeyUSC's EQEMU fix)
- 6.2-DR1-perl enabled by Jimm0thy
- and I pulled and compiled the CVS from 09/28

I dunno if you have tried this or not (didn't see it mentioned above) but try using a command prompt and navigate to your /eqemu062/ directory and launch world.exe that way. By doing this, when world.exe crashes, it wont shut the window and maybe you can see the last error generated.... might help.

Good idea, thanks! I'll try it now.

As a further note, I tried running the server on my desktop and launched the client on my laptop. Same effect, world.exe crashes on the desktop.
