Is anyone else having random crashes straight to DeskTop ? no black screen just like as if i /exit .
 
i dont , just run MQ and thats it , just started about a week ago never had any issues up till then
 
Chanter toon and mage toon randomly crashed a bunch this week for me. Funny thing was the chanter wasn't running KA. The Mage was. Both on different PCs as well. Happened a few times as well. I didn't really figure out why. Not that this helps much. I did have MQ2Forage running on them. Chanter is my main toon to play. SO I usually don;t have KA running. I will use MQ2AFNuke once in a while if I am like eating or on the phone.
 
Since the last MQ2 update, I have been crashing with no error whenever I go to character select and try to log back in. Doesn't matter if I switch characters or not.
 
Updated this morning and my toons are dropping out like crazy, 2 dropped on starting kiss11 2 others crashed on zone and one crashed just standing there without anything running at all. Log them back in and 3 crashed about 20 seconds into running kiss11, 1 crashed on death, 2 crashed on zone.
 
I'm using the VV TEST latest version (20190114), also getting crashes.. but dont seem random to me.. they have happened (3 times now) when having bank window open, and find items window open, using the new features, and just trying to manipulate within the find item window (not deleting items or anything, just clicking on items or the search field) and get an immediate CTD on that client..
 
@virtuoso65 My cleric has been crashing when running Kiss, turned his buffs off in the ini and he hasn’t crashed since. Haven’t investigated further to see what it is, but hopefully this helps.

This crash is related to the number of items you have I believe. It looks 700ish is ok, but anything more than that and you CTD.
 
Oh really? Hmm i never noticed, i'll check n see.. cuz i know that toon does have a lot of crap in his bank..

Edit: Yep.. over 1000 items in list between bank and inventory/worn...

Do u guys get the crash dialogs?
I’m going to find a character with over 1000 items to test with, but if anyone will let me login with their char to test feel free to pm me with login info and this will be taken care of faster.
 
Yes, I have had numerous toons "disappear" from my eq window list. All of a sudden my chanter or cleric will be gone, or SK. It seems random, not like a specific class.
 
Ive been crashing every time I log off to switch to a different toon. Game crashes just before the toon enters the world. Game works fine as long as I dont try switching characters.

I just got the crash when camping to character screen, got the new crash dialog (created an infinite loop of creating dump files I couldn't get out of without forcing EQ closed). Just sent the dump to the hotmail like the notes say to.

Mine gives me a little window/box saying something like 'it isnt MQ, its EQ' .. but nowhere to save logs or debug etc.. but its defintely repeatable..
 
GetSpellParent crashed at address 0xECFF this time, box comes up...was on a different character. Logged to character select then crash.

have you updated to teh newest VV that came out last night
 
Yeah I get the it isn't MQ crash as well. On today's updated patch. No debug log generated and it is on the toon with a gajillion items. If i search or click the grab item button it crashes
 
I tried turning off the buffing, didn't help as follows.
Fresh clean download of MQ2.
Ran kiss11 for about 90s before the first crash, had 2 more within 30s.

All toons that crash do so with the following dump summary when one is generated.

Code:

there is a bug where you have over 800 items total inventory you can crash. Mule just pushed a fix for it. not sure when VV is updated
 
My bard and ranger are the only two that seem to crash (out of 6 accounts i run). It's been this way since TBL launch. No warning either. Sometimes when I zone, poof, they disappear. Most of the time I don't even know until i try and alt tab to them for whatever reason.

I'm also having exactly this problem.
 
Is it 1000 unique items or 1000 total? I am guessing unique as my main has many stacks of TS mats like 10's of thousands total and has not crashed.
It mostly seems to be my sham, cleric and mage that crash.
 
If you haven’t updated yet, you should because every single crash being talked about in this thread has been fixed as of midnight last night.
The crash showed it self upon having 1000 or more unstacked items It has been fixed.

Is there something specific i need to do to get logs beyond what gets output to the /logs/ folder ntdll_xx.dmp
I ask this because those logs are only being generated about 1 in 10 crashes.

/edit I did notice something, when i turned off the buff section for all of my toons they started acting much faster, ma picks up target faster, assists assist faster, healer heals more consistently and the damn shaman actually slows before the mob was at 50% hp.

/edit2 buffs isn't it or isn't the only issue, cleric and sham are still crashing out. It could be conditions related? Both have a bunch of conditions like "!${Me.Song[Cloud of Renewal].ID}" and "(${Group.Injured[90]} >= 2) && (!${Me.Buff[Merciful Acquittal].ID})".

No there is nothing you can do, if it can dump a file and save it, it will. When that doesn’t happen it could be because of many reasons, severe crash, can’t unwind callstack, broken hardware, corrupt ram, gremlins, alien take over, etc.

Thanks so much man! Working fine now!
 
I'm still getting random crashes and im not sure why >.< complete CTD even after updating, any ideas?
 
same. ctd randomly. I ran the RG update patcher( nothing new), rebooted, removed the macroquest.ini. Started up eq on 2 pc's. Sat there for a bit and watched it crash to desktop.
 
when i get home from work im going to do a fresh install of mq and eq.
 
I am still getting random crashes too, less often now that I dumbed down the hell out of kiss to basically never make checks for items in inventory or to check if a buff already exists before casting something that might not stack.

These two things seem to be the biggest triggers, likely some struct is off and just hasn't been worked out yet. I suck at reverse engineering asm and I don't have access to IDA so I wouldn't even know where to start now days.
 
So rather than reinstall EQ i just reinstalled MQ and i have only crashed once on my main pc, and have only gotten the lag spikes once. gremlins probably did it.
 
unloading mq2dpsadv has solved my crashing. I was also able to easily replicate that it would crash when the plugin was loaded.
 
I think it is a conflict between starting EQMules ini then windowing to next toon that is running KA11 and starting that ini before EQMules has loaded completely...and it is only his wizard and cleric macros that are crashing when I do this. If I let MQMules macro run out first then start the KA11 I dont get the crash. I also dont get the crash every time I start a KA11 macro before the EQMule macro runs out so....
