Crash to server select

Anyone else getting this at all? Haven't seen any posts on it.

I'll just be playing, not running any macro's or custom plugin's and out of nowhere, I just crash back to server select and get an active character message when trying to log back in. Seems to do it at random and in random zones. Sometimes when I log back into that character, I just crash back to server select and can't load up EQ until I unload MQ.

I tried to attach a debugger which really doesn't do much since the game doesn't actually CTD.

I've been having random crashes too... haven't had time to stick a debugger, but mine crashes and pops up the "blocking SoE feedback" message. Seems random, although every time it's happened I've been root-shooting a mob. (using a macro that does does :loop, /keypress F12, /delay 10, /goto :loop) I'll probably attach a debugger tonight and post the spew when/if it happens again, but will probably do so in VIP.

Just letting you know I've had seemingly random crashes as well. This is with the aug 20 zip.

People without MQ are crashing just as often as people with MQ.

Doesn't apply to the above but one thing I've noticed that triggers crashes regularly is having the map open while zoning.

ive noticed that i crash more often when i am playing eq... mq isnt making a difference =P eq is just as buggy as it has always been, and will always be... get used to it... the bigger the exe is the more shit to sift through there is and unfortunately more crap to screw up when you play.

Now that you mention it, I crash while zoning 1 out of 5 times. Looking through the debug spew, I noticed something about mq2map.dll. I realized I had the map open most of the time while zoning, which explains a lot. I gotta make a note now to keep the map closed.

If anyone can isolate how to recreate the crash ..I'll be glad to test it.

I don't use the mq2map plugin, so I would never see it.

I forgot to mention in my other post below that 90% of my crashes took place with the map open. The other 10% were zoning. I also zone with the map open. To crash this way try loading the MQ2Map plugin and zone5-10 times with map open and you should get a crash.

My debug spew is in my other post if you are intereseted. If required I will attempt the crash later tonight and debug it yet again.
