None of those errors look to be zone crash related. Maybe you are looking at the wrong log file. I don't run my server on windows anymore, so I don't know which one you want for sure.

Is it 1 particular zone that is crashing, or all of them? If it is just a couple of zones, it could be something set wrong with a quest or some other database issue you are having. Otherwise, you should make certain that your players don't have items that have unknown focus effects. That will crash zones every time. You could download the spells file from live (there are links directly to that file somewhere in these forums) and use that for your server spell file in your eqemu directory. Then, if the crashes stop, you will know that it is related to this focus effect issue since those are defined in the spells file.

Other than that, you might want to mention anything you have done that might be considered out of the ordinary when creating your server.

I host both EQEmu and WOWemu from our deadicated server if anyone wants to play you can make a account here Account Manger. There are shared forums on the Main Site and other general stuff. There is a server admin support page if you need to contact a admin also.

Possibly your expecting too much from your server?

[trevius]

Oh ya, didn't even think about that... If you are running both the WoWemu and EQEmu from the same PC, you are most likely going to have some sort of issue. As long as the ports don't overlap, you should be ok in that aspect. But, running both at once is bound to cause performance issues. Try shutting down the WoWemu server and see if that makes a difference on your zone crashing. I bet it will.

with everything running i use 0-5%cpu and like 1 gig of my 2 gig of ram and this has been happening sence i started running eqemu. its not just one zone but it seems to happen mostly around high lvl players usualy as there changing zones. wowemu runs perfectly useing 100meg of ram total and then theres eqemu running like 25 zones useing like 800meg of ram crashing like a mofo. its definatly player related it seems like sertan players crash more then others do.

[opyrus]

its definatly not performance related i would have noticed long ago im not new to computers..... unless 10 years tech work is "new" and knowing visual basic and c++ programming. i realy hate the stupid 5 min edit timer.....

[ChaosSlayer]

well consider the posability that the concurent running of wow and eq is the source of the problem...
which btw don't surprise me since wow is the source of all evil

I got a question for ya; how come you can bash, insult, use foul language on the members here, then have final word and close the thread?
