Char's transferred from test crash

[Harleyrider]

I transferred some char's from test to live today and when I try to log in said char's, EQ crashes with MQ2 running. I have the same issue over 4 accounts, and it works fine on char's that were already on the server I transferred to. Any ideas?

Run a full file scan and it should replace any bad files.

I dont know if this is related or not, but I have a level 80 enchanter that would crash. No error message, not the normal, blahh blahh message with an Ok button, it would totally crash that there would be no error message. This started happening after the most recent update. All my other characters can login and I can use them, but the level 80 enchanter crashes when MQ2 is running.

Hope this helps. and these are on the live non progression servers.

I ran the full scan right after the first crash thinking it still had a test file out there somewhere, but it kept happening after that as well. The only thing I can think of is that there is some flag they have from being copied back. Is there a log file I can look at to see why it crashes? I think I will have a friend try to log on a char as well to verify.

this still happens to all the char's i transferred. How can i troubleshoot this?

 

[Maskoi]

Try this. In your everquest folder find these 2 files, back them up and then delete them.

Tooname_test.ini
UI_Toonname_test.ini

I think I did that a couple weeks ago because they dont exist.

interesting, i was able to get 1 of the char's logged on. the only differences are 1) i've deleveled this char by 13 levels, and 2) i rebound this char in a different city. Think the char data for where the char is bound is bad or something?

 

[Maskoi]

Rebinding might be forcing the server to write over the bad info. Try it with the other toons.

on the same account, i logged on another copied char from test, gated him to GL, then rebound him there.. still crashed. so then i ran him to pok, bound.. still crashes.. ugh!

 

[Harleyrider]

ran to a newbie zone, bound and let a guard kill me.. still crashes.

ok, think i figured it out and I believe its a bug with MQ2...

i killed an orc pawn and equipped a cloth shirt. and now i can login with mq2 (the other char i killed stuff and equipped daggers) This char had 0 inventory items.. nothing, no bags, coin, nothing. 100% empty. And I think that causes MQ2 to crash on load...

 

[Maskoi]

Ahh glad you figured it out.

 

[Harleyrider]

is that worth reporting as a bug or is it something that really affects very few people ever so not worth it?

 

[Maskoi]

Always worth it. I keep a list of stuff like this I go over when people post bugs. Someone else mentions low level or transfer toon crashing we know its more thing to check.
