Crashing after lots of zoning...

[TAR]

I have a few macro's that take my characters in and out of zones quite often. After running for a few hours one of my clients ends up crashing. It seems like this may be a memory issue. Is there anyway of overcoming this crashing? Is there a way to flush the memory or something? It's been happening like this for years, just now figured I would ask, lol.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I get it often when zoning - I have EQ not responding error when going into task manager and have to force it closed. I just reload, push character out of world and continue. Pita but not the end of the world!

Post your macroquest.ini file

/plugin mq2xptracker unload
run a toon to the zoneline
zone back and forth like 8 times

/plugin mq2xptracker
same as above

see if the crashes are stopwhen its unloaded

 

[TAR]

Unloaded on all toons. I'll let you know how it goes.

- - - Updated - - -

Still happens. Not as often, but does. It is just your standard C++ Runtime Error crash, not sure if there is an easy way to debug the issue.

 

[TAR]

Any other ideas on why my characters keep crashing when zoning alot? Or is it something I need to live with (I have for about a year so far, so no biggie).

Thanks,

 

[Maskoi]

I would like to track it down. whatever it is even though it hasn't been widely reported.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852365

At the bottom of the page Debugging Tools for Windows (WinDbg)

Download the appropriate version win 7 8 etc

PM me for the zipped PDB file in step4

Using windbg

1. Build MQ2 (nmake or VS are both fine) 
2. Make sure that the PDB files created have the same date as DLLs 
3. Download windbg see link above and install it 
4. Make sure that the PDB files are in the same directory as where you start MQ. 
5. Start MQ, EQ, and windbg. (wineq or eqw will work too) 
6. On windbg, press F6 and choose eqgame.exe. Once it has broken in, press F5 to continue. 
7. In EQ, take the steps that normally crash. 
8. When the debugger breaks in, goto to the command window of windbg 
8a. Enter this command: .sympath SRV*c:\winnt\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
9. Enter the command 'r' for registers. 
10. Enter the command 'kv' for stack backtrace. 
11. Post the output from those commands to a new thread.

Ok. Won't be able to get to it until tomorrow but will do.
