Game Mechanics: Skeletons

[Lancertan]

Since the patch it seems that whenever I try to give my skeleton pet an item, the game crashes. I've lost a good deal of bone chips testing this out.

Also all of the skeleton models are frozen stiff, even in death. This has been happening in Odus for me, and I haven't been able to leave yet to see if it is happening elsewhere. Am I the only one this is happening to?

My skeletons are Luclin models with no animation, Lich forms included.

Somebodies didn't read the patch notes.

I've just tested giving items to an NPC skeleton (they were returned) and armor and weapons (2h and 1h, thanks Tixel) to a pet, no crash. Models are moving correctly for me, OMW to Odus to test some more.

Thank you so much for your help.

I did read them.

The game still crashes when giving them items for me, even after downloading the eqchanges file. However, I am now getting a message prompting me to send data on the crash.

Solved.

Remember this thread?

I had him try to trade me a rusty rapier, sure enough he went LD immediately.

So I killed a skeleton and looted some bone chips, handed them to him. He's now fixed.

So there is a bug occuring that's specific to individual characters, and independent of the files on their computer, that will cause them to DC every time they initiate a trade, until someone else initiates a trade with them, at which point the bug is permanently fixed.
