game crash question

Night Hawk · Post by **Night Hawk** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 4:27 am

If eq crashes, and the debugger returns something related to eqgame.exe itself, that is just a general EQ-related crash, correct?

For example:

Code: Select all

(7e4.cd4): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

Not necessarily.

Custom plugins?

Hmm ok. I only ever get this crash, usually after I zone a bunch of times. I figured it was just EQ-related, but thought I would ask. I saved the crash info from what I posted above.

Using the latest zip as always.

No, it's not EQ. You either have bad hardware or a bad plugin.

Here's a new crash log. Takes forever to produce it, seems kind of random. Again, happens on zoning.

would you still say it's a hardware problem AKA memory leak from EQ maybe, just causing it to possible crash after zoning so many times?

dont_know_at_all · Post by **dont_know_at_all** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 1:35 pm

You are crashing in a place that cannot crash. Either the hardware is bad or the memory is corrupted.

A_Enchanter_00 · Post by **A_Enchanter_00** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 11:21 am

do you have multi core system amd ? intel ?

i have had crash problems also with eq and multi core, never make a debug on it sine it was not mq related.

Night Hawk · Post by **Night Hawk** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:47 pm

yes.
AMD 64 X2 6000+
2x 1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800

I have the XP-released dualcore hotfix, the AMD drivers, and the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer.

But like I said, the crash is somewhat uncommon, but after zoning so many times, it is bound to happen eventually. Not really a big problem. Only takes a minute or to log back in.

A_Enchanter_00 · Post by **A_Enchanter_00** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 2:10 pm

for eq, the issue with dual cores is excactly crashing when you zone ( most often ).

http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts ... c_id=15343

see: 5. Dual-core crashing/stuttering/model corruptions

but since you have AMD Dual-Core Optimizer, i guess it could be something else ..

i would rum memtest, and a cpu stress test

Night Hawk · Post by **Night Hawk** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 2:20 pm

Yeah, I have all the hotfixes/drivers required. I may try a stress-test/memtest as you said, but I'm not too worried. I just wanted to rule out anything else first.

TehWraith · Post by **TehWraith** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 2:36 pm

overnight dual prime95s in stress mode, no harm in doing that, and you will find out if your cpu is stable.

fearless · Post by **fearless** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 3:06 pm

Crucial Ballistix memory has been known to fail early and often.

ieatacid · Post by **ieatacid** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 6:13 pm

I have no crash problems with my dual-core AMD.

Night Hawk · Post by **Night Hawk** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 6:51 pm

I ran MemTest 3.5, a windows application, which ran for about 4-5 hours, and got up to like 1034% or something with 0 errors.

I'll have to run some ones mentioned above though. The ones that you boot to I suppose.
Hopefully can figure out something, but again, it's more of an uncommon annoyance than it is a "problem". Don't have any trouble with any other games going on.
