Zeitgeist · #2 02-02-2002, 04:18 AM

funny, i get a crash to desktop or a could not read instruction depending on if i use eqw or eqgame.exe patchme. i need to catch some more sleep before i play too much more.

I too was crashing after character selection

I started with a Barb warrior that was in Halas, so I made a Human monk in Sqeynos and got in no problems..

Try making differant characters to see if you can get in

Same thing here. I don't use eqw, but just running eqgame.exe I get dropped after character select.

I was using the 0.2.1 database and having this problem. I switched back to the 0.2.0 database and 0.2.1 is running fine for me now.

I have tried all the suggestions here and I still crash to the desktop after character select.

From the quick test's I've done, it looks like the crash is coming when you try to start in any other zone than qeynos, and since 2.1 implented starting cities for all races, this will cause a crash for everything not starting in qeynos. I'll have to see if I can write a quick patch

???? see my added section
Actually its a database kickstart problem. It doesn't matter what zone you start in, until you kick start the db, the client will crash.
After the kickstart then the char can start anywhere.

What can kickstart the db? Possibly anything in the database with an update. There was a similar problem in 0.1.9.

The other cause of clients dying on zone entry are the two-box setups where the batch file IP addresses are not changed from 127.0.0.1.

I could undo my working version and see if I can get it back to the crashing state.

added
I deleted my db and started over. This time I just created the db and used db.sql and nothing else.

First character I created was a human in qeynos and did not have a problem entering. Second was in a different city and didn't have a problem.

It means that so far I can't recreate the problem.

Next step is to do it again, but not to create a char in qeynos.

Whatever Madborg, it's been a while since I've done any serious coding so i was just asuming about the error. Anyway Here's the debug info from the zone window.

I am not posting from knowledge, but just guesses and reporting what I see. I am now on my third pass where I have deleted my database again to try to reproduce the problem.

My first char was a gnome and I did not get a zone entry problem.
Most of what you have posted I got too except for the sql error for player corpse.

the rest of the squence looks like mine except I go on to 1f20 and don't crash.

Anyway my kickstart thing goes out the window. It it looks like I can start my first char in some other zone than qeynos.

Problem is I can't get it to crash.

I will try it again, completely from scratch.

.can't reproduce

After three complete attempts, I cannot reproduce the problem at all. I suspect that my earlier problem with the client crashing on char enter had nothing to do with the problem that other people reported. At this point I have no idea what causes the problem or any work around.

I give up completely on this one.

kashiedin · #15 02-02-2002, 07:46 PM

The corpse error was because I was trying a stripped down version of the database to see if it would affect anything.

Strange, Every character i create now has no problems, but the first one does still
