I've had some issues but not exactly as you describe. I've narrowed my crashes down to two locations primarily, The Overthere (anywhere there) or when I'm on the South Karana aviak ramp. Happens every time. If there's something I can change, I'd sure like to know what it is. I've fallen off the aviak ramps twice now and went LD. Thanks

Huh. As a (non-P99) developer, by first instinct is to try and find the "outline" or details of a bug, as that's how you figure out where you need to fix things. This is why I kept asking about Linux: if it was Linux-specific that'd be a relevant detail (although it seems like it isn't).

What's frustrating about this one is that it seems difficult to nail down the "outline" of it, and in fact the main thing that seems to link all of us is just that it A) involves application crashes (something I never used to experience anywhere close to this much), and B) it seems semi-repeatable under similar conditions (eg. looting your corpse or falling off a ramp seems to trigger it ... but it's not a 100% repeatable trigger either).

Good luck to the devs in trying to track things down with that broad of a bug description [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think if someone told me they crashed every time they went up the aviak ramp, I'd look at them suspiciously. But I swear, my butt puckers every time I do it now because I know that IF I'm going to crash, that's when it'll happen.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I almost always crash when I /camp.

Not crashing and getting to the character select screen is the exception, not the rule.

Same exact thing for me here.

Never had any crashed from zoning ever. Today two times while zoning. Something is going on.

Ive not been online alot lately, but I notice after last auto update for Windows 10, my WinEQ program loads up really slow compared to what it used to. In game Ive been crashing alot yeah, and as you also when Im looting my corpse, or when camping out

Question for people experiencing this issue: you all didn't start using Rustle UI recently by any chance?

Yea I started experiencing this issue after trying the Rustle UI, not sure if it's related but seems like it's the most likely culprit.

I can't help much on your specific crashing issues but if you look in your p99 > Everquest > Log > dbg file you should be able to find a clue as to what's going on.

I also found in the main Everquest directory a file called UIErrors.txt. Mine is empty but it may be checking yours out.

Lastly might be an event viewer. Windows has an easy to to check out. Didn't I read somewhere that you're running linux? I know there's something similar for you. Heck, way back when I was running Red Hat (circa 2001 or so) it has an event/crash error log built in.

G'luck

I see a lot of this sort of thing in that file:

So would a reasonable guess be that I for some reason am missing some files (eg. spela.png), and before P99 didn't use those files (so I never used to get crashes), but recently it started doing so and now I do?

Only ... that still doesn't explain why the crashes only happen sometimes not (say) every time I loot a corpse.
