Crash to Desktop

Post by Slice » Thu Feb 12, 2004 10:19 pm

Downloaded the newest version from the website today and recompiled.

Now I'm getting CTD's every time I try and select a character. Things I've done:

1) I'm using the mapfix from Grimjack as the only 3rd party plugin but I've disabled it in the macroquest.ini

2) I've tried two different accounts and a high level vs a low level character same results

3) Changed from mq2chatwnd to mq2chat in the ini file.

4) Redownloaded the Zip and Recompiled

5) Repatched.

I'm not running GoD if that makes a difference, it's the only expansion I haven't installed yet.

Any suggestions?

Rename the bmpwad8.s3d file in the MQ folder to bmpwad8.s3d.old, then see if you still bomb.

Figured it out. When I remove mq2labels from the ini file the CTD's stop. Someone in IRC suggested that it's because I haven't installed GoD yet.

Thanks guys!

Seems the DPS pluggin was my demon. It looks like it's the realtime DPS window, when I get added to it, I CTD. I unloaded MQ2Dps and no more CTD.

Welp, I don't have GoD, don't plan on getting it. Grouped for a few hours, put up my mule for a few more in the Bazaar, then grouped again for a few hours.. No CTD.
