Crashing while zoning

taamas · #1 04-20-2010, 07:29 PM

Rogean,

I'm having the freezing problem while zoning as well, causing me to alt f4 out and restart the game. I'm also having a problem on the server select, and character select screens. After typing in login credentials, I'll get a blank server selection screen sometimes, forcing me to log out and back in. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times. When I do finally get servers to come up, and pick P99, I'll get to char select screen. However, sometimes after choosing my character, I'll never load into the game, it just freezes at the char select screen. I tie this problem and the zoning problem together, as I think it's the same concept (zoning from one zone to another vs. zoning into the game = zoning). The server select part just baffles me.

Anyways, I've tried the WinEQ2. No dice. Turned off Texture Caching, like someone had suggested. No dice. I've looked in my Everquest directory, and apparently I have no dbg.txt file.

Any help you could provide when you're free would be great, thanks! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is a known issue, I'm not sure there's a fix for this, usually i'll get the blank server screen if i have left a torrent client open (not necessarily downloading) or if the network i'm on is using alot of bandwidth.

Turning these off usually fixes the problem.

Thanks for the info Omnimorph!

I don't think the issue I have with the server select is torrent client-related because when I play all I have open is EQ and sometimes internet pages in the background if I'm looking something up. The network bandwidth comment applies to me moreso though, since the other user on the network streams alot of videos. I believe that might be whats causing it then, oh well. Thanks!

Hopefully I can get more insight on the zone crashing thing though, as that issue is more annoying. Of course I didn't crash at all last night after zoning about 7 times. Go figure. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You should have a logs directory inside your Everquest directory. The dbg.txt file should be there.

I have only played about 6 hours since, but I have not crashed since I turned off texture caching.

Turned off texture caching after reading this and It made my problem much worse, went form crashing every few zones to crashing at char select almost everytime i logged in

Crashing out like a madman as of tonight. Have tried all eqemu's multi core fixes so far, aside from external apps figuring that might be it, still having no luck.

go to your EverQuest directory and look for a program called "OptionsEditor", click on it and you should see the check box on the page after model options.

Hey all, I am new to this server. The same thing applies to me as what Taamas said before:

Sorry for copying your words, Taamas, just showing that the same things are happening. I also don't have that dbg.txt file, I have a dpg. something file, it isn't a text file. So I cannot copy the debug log anyway. Hope this gets resolved. I keep crashing when I zone from butcherblock back to Everfrost, but have not crashed while zoning in to butcherblock...only out. Thank you for your time and all the work you have put into this server. It is pretty darn cool.
