Hmmm, this might be a real bug. The spawn pointer in the MAPSPAWN structure is bogus. This might happen if MapClear() and DeleteSpawn() happen at the same time... I'm not sure if there are multithreading issues here.

This happened when I was zoning from Gunthak to Stonebrunt, I can try to repeat it again and get another spew.

I have been getting random crashs for a while now, I turn of MQ2 and nothing happens. I don't really have any debugging stuff except .NET which whenever I run it I don't seem to crash, always the way isn't it.

I have only had it happen on zoning, it is not a consistant zone. Also 2 of my friends have the same problem. Averages out to about 1 in every 6 zonings.

I've been trying hard to get some evidence behind the crash but it is quite random.

Many of the times I've CTD, not all mind, have been with map window open.

Try going to line 271 of MQ2MapAPI.cpp and modifying that line so that it looks like this:

Code: Select all

		if (pActiveSpawns->SpawnType==FAKESPAWNTYPE) // fake!

...Let me know if that helps with the problem.

I applied this change to the MQ2MapAPI and I still get the same crash. Any other Ideas?

make sure that mq2map.pdb is in the same directory with mq2map.dll and type "dt -r2 pActiveSpawns" at the windbg command prompt.
