Yeah, now Uncle Jack, who's not taking the down time so well, keeps babbling about "All work and no Everquest" making him a "dull boy" or something...

p99 the only server that is pre luclin?

IMO all this login server crashing is a lead up to a large GM event. The "lore" is some big baddie has been messing with the strands of reality in Norrath, causing people to suddenly disappear upon entering a new area, or for sleeping warriors to be unable to wake up!

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE WORK OF HACKANNON! We defeated him once before, but we must band together as comrades in arms in order to defeat the supersteroid-trakanon that has come back to destroy the server once more.

Rogean, how do you know its heap corruption specifically?

There's some detection support native to ms c++ : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.85%29.aspx dunno if that would help or not.

You can get malloc ( or new and delete ) wrappers too that will let you do allocation logs and so forth.

Bunch of various memory/allocation/heap tools here too :

I'm in total favor of the server effort to help fix the server problem. I can't help because I'm useless, but I'll cheer you guys on. Hope you guys look at these options and see if they will work!

Bad stick of RAM?

As a sysadmin, that was my first guess. I believe these are physical servers and not virtual, and it's very possible a bad stick of RAM is causing the issue. It would definitely explain its sudden appearance and intermittent behavior.

Would be awesome if a construction worker like myself solved the issue [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is why Fadetree levels so slow - he's clearly doing stuff other than EQ.
