Anyone else experiencing this? It happens with me constantly with random characters that i'm boxing (never all at once). Basically after doing a /bca //chase or a /bca //camphere (or any variation of these command, ie chaseon, returntocamp etc.) kiss will crash. I've ran the remove_alias mac. Dont really know what else to do...this is the spam that shows up in mq2 window after it dies

[2017/08/12 19:00:01] The current macro has ended.

would really like to figure this out...almost 100% of the time that i turn chase on/off or return to camp on/off at least 1 of my 12 boxes has KA end. So I literally cycle thru each one every time i issue one of those commands to make sure KA is still running.
 
My issue was connection based. I had set my isp address to 127.0.0.?.unk thinking that would keep me off radar but it brought performance down so low as to cause a loss of data.

I went back to my correct isp address and
..... made sure all toons had performed the alias_remove.mac and
........... reset the ini files for all to version 0 , that is a zero.

The next time I ran Kissassist it fixed the alias' and all was well again........

Hope this helped,
Playbetter

could you elaborate a little playbetter? What do you mean you set your isp address to that? the eqbc isp address?

also, just to make sure i did the remove_alias.mac correct, this is the line i'm changing..

Janktron, the errors you are getting would lead me to believe that something with MQ2 core is an issue. The errors you are getting would require Locally defined variables in the buffs routine to be deleted/removed while you are still in the routine.. I had an issue with this when #Binds first came out. But after shutting down for the night and coming back in the morning I tried to reproduce the issue, and was unable to. Try rebooting your computer and try again. If you can find a way to reproduce this issue, I would like to know the exact procedure. We can post this information on the MQ2 site and have them research it, but I need a definite way to reproduce it...

thanks CT, this has been happening since i came back to LJ...so its been a few weeks and my PC has been rebooted multiple times in that frame. All I have to do to reproduce this is type //bcaa //chase a few times and KA will crash on atleast 1 of my 12 boxes. It literally happens 100s of times in a week.

Yes, the EQBC isp address...
In the MQ2 folder, the MQ2EQBC.ini file, the first line under Last Connect...

[Last Connect]
Server=123.123.123.12

make sure it is your correct isp address.

and...

The line to change is in your character's ini, first line under [General]...

KissAssistVer=10.0.4

Where "10.0.4" change to "0" zero...

.....................g'luck bud. I know it is frustrating.

Ok, so mine has always been set to 127.0.0.1....

I should change this to my actual IP address? and you saw a in game performance increase doing this?
 
OK. I was able to replicate this using your instructions. I sent a PM to Derple at the MQ2 site, to try and get his assistance on this.

just a heads up, as of last night and following playbetter's idea of setting mqbc to my actual ip address, I haven't had this happen yet. So fingers crossed!


edit* spoke too soon, still doing it :(

There are some other stability issues with Binds I have noticed as well, it is not just the deleting of local variables that's the issue.. I have noticed that when a bind is being called repeatedly that some spawns return as corpses even when there are no corpses in the zone... It was funny to watch my shaman try and rez the tank when the tank was fully alive and in camp.

ohhhhh, well that explains why i keep seeing the message in the mq2 chat box that my clerics are trying to rez my toons that are still alive.
