Problems with 6.2

wdrng · #1 10-30-2005, 11:35 AM

I've got basically the same problem. My MiniLogin, World, and Boot5Zones all connect to each other with no problems (except loading opcodes).
Problem is, when I try to login it hangs at logging in. If I alt+tab out, I see that world.exe has crashed and it would like me to report it too Microsoft. I hit don't send, and world.exe closes.
I used the Wiki 6.2 setup, and have tried the world & zone files from all 3 links - Perl enabled, no perl, and fixed. Same problem with each of them.
I'm patched as of Sept. 8th 2005.
<sigh> Anybody have any more ideas?

If you have check all this thing, perhaps it is a windows problems ? have you try on another computer or try to reinstall your computer ?

I was worried about that - I've a pretty new alienware laptop (very nice, by the way!), but alienware has some custom formatting (I can't change some parts of the BIOS as I'm not a "full" admin, and I can't re-install win XP corp due to their customized hard drive setup).
I was at a friend's place with the laptop when I was testing and posting - just got home now, so I was going to try and set it up on my desktop.
I''l post what happens when I'm done.

<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.

Nope, no error in world.exe. I get:

Just in case :
What version or mysql or perl you use ?

wdrng · #9 11-01-2005, 08:04 AM

MySQL is 4.0.26 (I did try the version link in the Wiki server setup document, but it linked to 4.1.15 which has a GUI interface and I coudn't figure out how to get the SQL server to start)
Perl is 5.8.7.813 (the one linked in Wiki)

wdrng · #10 11-01-2005, 08:18 AM

I'm going out of the city now, so I'll do some testing while I'm gone and post back on the weekend.
Thanks!

Belfedia · #11 11-01-2005, 10:59 AM

And you're sure,
you don't have any firewall ? sp2 xp firewall include ?
Perhaps a program no compatible with eqemu ?
that very very strange :(

wdrng · #12 11-06-2005, 09:45 AM

Nope. I always turn off WinXP firewall - I run a personal freeware firewall called Sygate and I turned it off while I was testing this.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing everything (except Perl - no internet connection at the cottage) and still had the same problem. :(
I don't think it's an installed software problem. My laptop and desktop have different software installed, and different hardware (so different drivers).
Very little is installed on BOTH, only thing I can think of are standard programs I use for trouble shooting/support and cleanup - like RegCleaner and Dameware. All the programs like that I've used for a long time, and they've never had any problems with previous versions of EqEmu.

Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!
It works!

I used Dark Rouge Productions Server pack 2.0 auto installer from a blank slate, and then had to add a couple of database tweaks to MySql (adding thing like the minilogin info) - worked well!
I still have to check a few things, like up to date quests, and maps/aggro stuff - but it I was in testing and it seems okay.
I think the problem I was having was somewhere in the MySql database - world crashed when it was connecting to minilogin and verifying the database.
Thanks for the help and input!
