Problem - Suicidal sojourns?

[ycleptjah]

I've got my group set up in GD right now, and on occasion one or 2 of my toons will wander off into the boonies and die. I'm talking halfway across the map. They're all running either IHCMercs or KA.

It seems totally random, I have Return to Camp on, and I have no idea what's causing it. Any thoughts?

First you need to identify what macro the toon is running as they have 2 different authors and have to be debugged separately.

 

[ycleptjah]

It happens on both the KA toons and IHC toons. My bards seem to be the primary culprits, on occasion the MT will do it, and on rarer occasion the BST. Tank/BST running KA, one bard running IHC, one running KA.

Have you witnessed this happen or just seen the aftermath? Are they chasing a mob that perhaps ran at low hp and no one actually killed it?

 

[drawthow]

Are you camping in an area that has hills?

 

[eqgeek]

And while we're at it, are you running mq2nav and mq2advpath with updated mesh files?

 

[ycleptjah]

mq2advpath was not loaded. Went ahead and loaded that on all of them, will see if that corrects it. However, it is a hilly area, and I haven't witnessed it happen. But the mobs where I'm at don't run.

Will post back if it continues! Thank you all!

I don't think that's the problem, internet is pretty rock solid, and it's only certain toons who do it. Interestingly, the toons who do it the most are the ones in the MA's group...the ones outside of it don't have nearly the same # of problems. These same toons also don't properly "return to camp," they sort of loiter around.

Happened again, mq2advpath wasn't the answer

post your .inis

But the mobs where I'm at don't run.

FYI: with a rogue in the group, mobs do run in GD. I have witnessed it myself.

Maybe add a snare to your ini?

Always a background screen toon? Never the one you have on the front screen? My zerks used to leave corpses super far away due to the graphics setting for background toons. They'd bolt in a straight line and not update the stop loc very well.

Raise your Max Background FPS. Options (alt-o) -> Display -> Advanced Options -> Max Background FPS (try like 20 or higher)

Just saw an abnormal behavior today. Had my toons camp fire into a spot, moved a little bit down the room and set up camp. Then 2 of my toons kept running back and forth between campfire and the new camp spot. Uloaded kissassist, unloaded mq2nav and they still did it until I relog them. Not sure what else could be causing it.

Make sure your camp is updated in all running macros and plugins. Some like Chat's will drop a camp when you zone in, or coh.

These were my mages, no combat plugin, just kissassist.
