Project EQ - PEQ - crashing issues

[fireclav12]

Hey guys new to EMU servers and i started out on the peq server.

im running into constant crashing when zoning, as well as an out of memory issue with mq2nav. mainly the crashing is making it half unplayable or at least unenjoyable lol.

i downloaded the client from there site for rof2.

anyone have any similar issues and know what might be going on? its not specific zones either, pretty much one of my 6 accounts crashes everytime i zone.

unfortunately the running out of memory thing is something that frequent calls for nav to do work can end up running out of contiguous memory space for nav to do its thing.

are you able to space out your characters zoning a bit more? like have them click one at a time kind of thing? if it is the individual client running out of memory space to do stuff, that won't help - and as far as i know, there's nothing you can do without reloading that client to "refresh" contiguous allocation of memory for that eq client

@brainiac would be able to explain it a lot more clearly.

I'm not sure if when MQ comes to emu if that will help, as the emu eq is still 32bit - but mebbe

So it seems to have the crashing when zoning issue even if I just have one char on.

The only other weird thing I’ve noticed is cwtn eskay plug-in seems to crash when using any of the vampiric spell line. To the point that I have to delete them from my spell book to not crash instantly.

Have you tried the 4GB patch yet for your PEQ install? That eliminates a ton of crashes for any of my emu installs

I don't understand this from a technical perspective as I have no code knowledge. So people can use at their own risk. This is widely circulated on emu servers though via discords and I have not personally had any issues, so personal experience it's been safe. This resolves a ton of crashes over a majority of the servers. But some of them still have wonky crashes, so not a fix all.

4GB Patch NTCore

This is the large address aware flag if someone wants to further Google what that means.

Thanks. I’ll try it when I get home tonight. Hopefully that solves my issue.

so the patch seems to have helped the issue for sure. way early to say how much, but ive zoned way more then i could have before and no crashing so far.

thank you guys VM for the help!
