Problem - Crashing / Loosing toons when boxing after patch

Mine seemed to crash on my Warriors when mq2melee invoked the steadfast discipline.

However, my rogues would crash after a period of time too, so not sure what else in mq2melee could have been a culprit. I have already upgraded to Windows 10 so can't reproduce now :-(
 
Crashing as you already know :( Unloading MQ2Melee has seemed to resolve it.

Pullertank SK crashes in KA 10.2.6 or KA 11.009 if MQ2Melee is active (Windows 7 machine). steely=0 alone didn't solve my crashes. Turning off MQ2Melee did fix it. I sent eqmule my full setup as requested, but I dont think it crashed on his tests.

My KA 10.2.6 warrior on Windows 10 is happily running for 8+ hours during same time with MQ2melee active. My 2 zerkers on Win7 also ran for hours, so maybe there is a certain setting for zerks that is an issue.

Temp Fix: How to turn off MQ2Melee. If you were using MQ2melee for holies/downs, this will de-activate them until you turn the plugin back on.

Unload the plugin
Code: 
/plugin mq2melee unload
Make sure your KA isn't restarting it, change this in your Melee section of ini if needed and restart KA:
Code: 
UseMQ2Melee=0

-----------------------
Other stuff you can use later, load the plugin:
Code: 
/plugin mq2melee

Check if the plugin is active and see what your basic settings are:
Code: 
/melee

How to quick change a setting:
Code: 
/melee steely=0

Save all settings:
Code: 
/melee save

You can also look up all your holy/downs and settings in you server_Name.ini in your Release folder.

I also turned off mq2melee on my sk because my war wasnt crashing and I dont use mq2melee on that ini. SK hasn't crashed since. Not saying mq2melee is the cause, just that turning it off has worked (so far) for me.
 
Backed up old mq2 dir.
Deleted mq2 dir.
Reinstalled mq2 and updated to latest
Copied release and macros .ini files for warrior back into new mq2 dir.
Started mq2.
Started eq client and got warrior running.
Started kissassist.
Client crashed shortly afterwards.

This does not appear to be a Kissassist problem as I have had the client crash by simply auto attacking a mob with mq2 running.

Either it is all good or I am to blame?
HELL EQMule..... I ain't fracking smart enough for any of this to be laid at my feet, or is that lain.
I have had a good run for many years but it has been mostly tenacity, luck and reading the many helping posts here.
I think my biggest bottleneck is a twelve year old laptop.

Just remember there are some of us who do not have good computers, good computer programming skills, or the resources to acquire either. We are the ones struggling with what we have.

I want to,
Playbetter

I abstain.......
 
To make this MORE interesting I have 2 groups running simultaneously on the same machine. I have had mq2melee on AND off. It didn't matter. In one group my SK and berserker stayed on with no problem. The OTHER group with my warrior and other berserker would crash on every pull.

Both berserkers are running the same .ini LOL figure that one out!
 
I have a Paladin and Druid that crash even after updating MQ2 today. I run 4 druids in my box team and 1 Paladin. The Paladin crashes more than any other character, probably 1 - 2 times every 8 hours but when he crashes generates no crash report. He either crashes with an Inject failed Error or he crashes in a way similar to what would happen if you /q out of the game. The Druid crashed for the first time ever today after updating. I haven't logged him back in yet though I figured F it he can stay dead.

I am on windows 10 too, so this issue isn't just effecting windows 7.


It seems as I am late to the party and you guys already identified the issue but figured I would comment incase this info helped.
 
Holyforge Disc is what my pally just cast that insta crashed him. Going to run him again to see if that is what is causing it.
 
I've also stopped having random crashes. I know I reported that I wasn't experiencing them on mule's thread but I wasn't at that point in time.
Rather than bring it up I shut my fucking mouth because I knew mule was already addressing it. Thanks guys!
 
yep.. fixed here too...

Thank you folks for finding the issue! I was starting to get all shaky from no EQ. I guess I could have played it w/o MQ2... but why :)

Last night. I down loaded MQ2 and installed over the existing folders, then ran the update. That didn't help. I will try again tonight, but delete the folders for a freshinstall.

Just run Update.exe, no need to reinstall. We pushed eqmule's update this morning that fixes the issue.

Last night I lost a chanter and a zerker to insta-crashes while boxing. The windows just dropped ... no crash box, no notice, nothing. They just weren’t there anymore. At least one of those crashes (and I believe both... but I distinctly recall one) happened while zoning. One was zoning manually from skyfire to goro and one was porting from lobby to skyfire.
 
Oh, and I’m fully updated as of 7pm-ish last night.
 
Well done and thank you for the fix, Pally is back to his happy self!
 
Upgraded to Windows 10 a couple days ago. Reinstalled EQ + MQ and made new ini's for all toons, copied code to new files.

Been running flawlessly since :)
 
Damn.... I just had my zerker insta-crash when I manually clicked his familiar. That's weird.
 
My toons are still crashing from time to time after the Oct. 29th update, but it seems to be far less so. It seems to mostly happen when MQ2Melee runs my steadfast disc on my warrior for the first time after logging in. If it gets past that, which it does sometimes, it seems to work fine. I'm also seeing some random crashing on a rogue still too though but can't seem to see what the culprit is there but nothing obvious like zoning or the like.
 
Since the latest patch im loosing toons randomly as well now. even when logging to server to swap chars just randomly drop. will work on getting some dumps
