MQ2 Plugin Fixes EQ Crash when camping to char select!

Post by Lax » Mon Nov 17, 2003 7:25 pm

I think this might be MQ's first real contribution to the stability of EQ ;)

MQ2EQBugFix plugin has been added to the standard list of plugins for MQ2 as of the last zip update. It has one crash fix at present. When camping to character select, EQ sometimes tries to access data at a null pointer. This is bad. The plugin fixes the function so that this no longer happens, at least for the 11-5-2003 patch.

Perhaps someone should send SOE an email saying that

Code: Select all

return *(JournalNPC::m_strings->Insert(param));
is causing a crash :lol: :twisted:
