Problem - Crashes after update

[eqtrader63]

Hi all,

after 2 years … 2 weeks ago I started EQ Emu again...
Everything went fine with a 2 years old redguides eqemu...
Today I thought what about a redguides upgrade ...

And did it … and many cool new stuff but 2 Problems.
1.) crashing often when I Zone … 3 out of 6 chars normally crash . Server is the VoG (Visions of Grandeur)
2.) when loading the chars mq2itemdisplay says I need a MQ_UI_CompareTipWnd.xml which I don't have. Never needed one on Emu.
Tried to switch off mq2itemdisplay in the ini but it always wants to load that plugin.


Any tips welcome

Thx in advance

For the crashing, have you tried unloading mq2dannet? that one is causing a lot of crashes on live for me.

I believe there is also an MQ2Melee crash on emu right now.

 

[eqtrader63]

Thx for answers. I will try to unload them checking if it works then

Thx

It is not mq2melee. It is what i think moveutils.

 

[eqtrader63]

Hm. Moveutils… will try that out too. Atm needed to switch back to old Version to avoid crashes in mostly all Zones.
Anyways many thx.. Maybe waiting for next version though I liked the new stuff

My understanding this is a known issue with the emu. I am having it and I know several other people with the same issue. Zoning has an extremely high rate of crashing. It doesn't allow for being mobile right now.

I am having other issues with group spells, which is extremely frustrating, I will be posting about soon after I collect more data. The latter I haven't confirmed if it is known or not.

 

[jaspen]

BTW, what version were you using that was not having any crashes? May try that before simply going back to E3 which ran fine but less automated.

 

[eqtrader63]

@jaspen hm... not easy to find out Version... any tips ? I can also give you a download of my Version if you want

This still an issue? I just started playing again on project laz and lose 3-5 boxes every zone.

I get a c++ runtime error dialog that pops up, but box doesn't crash till I click ok, or zone.

No logs

 

[eqtrader63]

Ok I think ist mq2nav.... when I don't use it I have less crashes… will keep you updated

Hi All I am also having this issue, was there ever a resolution? MQ2Nav doesn't stop the crashes for me

 

[eqtrader74]

Are you getting a crash report window? Does it make a dmp file? If so, check the name of the dmp file which will contain a plugin file name sometimes. You can turn off that plugin "/plugin mq2nav unload"

For me, dannet caused some crash on zone load issues, particularlly if all the toons zoned at once.

 

[matt08r1]

The dump file doesn't say anything in particular, to my eyes anyway, it is all in computer gibberish. It lists every plugin I had running throughout the file but nothing to indicate what caused the crash. Unloading mq2nav and mq2dannet didn't help... Or not much anyway. Unloading mq2nav did decrease the crashes but they still happened.

The odd thing for me is that one day I loaded up and played for 6 hours with no crashes at all. Tons of zoning not one crash. I eventually had the inevitable crash and then everytime thereafter

Hey Matt, have you found any other solutions for this problem? I play mostly on Lazarus but a little on VOQ as well but was having the exact same issue with MQ2Nav. I ended up having to go over to the E3 compile which is much better but still causes a decent number of zoning crashes. I'd really like to try out KA but been hesitant due to all the crashing. Thanks!

I also see a lot of crashing while zoning getting the C++ error as well, same server (Laz). I've noticed if I activate Kissassist this is almost a guaranteed crash for that character next time they zone. If I haven't they'll sometimes crash in halves, 3 of my windows will tank, then the next set of crashes will be the 3 that didn't. I'm not using dannet, although I do use nav.

Texs,

I've been trying a few things to see if I can resolve this. Are you using ISBoxer at all? I'm using a 3 monitor setup, but the primary monitor resolution is 1440p, the other 2 are 1080p. I reduced some of the crashes by making sure that ISBoxer is set to force windowed mode. I noticed that when I ran the game outside of ISB if the window for the game bled over to any of the other monitors with a diff resolution and I tried to adjust it the game would crash.

I also maybe resolved the crashes with Kissassist by way of a memory patch someone posted in the discord for Laz. More testing needed on that. But been good so far after trying those two things.
