EQ crashes IF MQ2 is running when I start EQ MQ2-20150115

[tazmeister]

using the the version from 20150115
If I have MQ2 running and then try to launch EQ, EQ crashes IMMEDIATELY with the error below. I don't get in to even the login screen or EULA, I go from clicking on the executable to having a crash dialog,

It does not crash with the previous version from Dec 2014


If make sure MQ2 is not running; then start EQ, and get to where I have a character going, then start MQ2 it seems to work
a lot of the basic functionality is there though I think netbots isn't working in this case, or ${Netbots.Client} always returns null even with 3 accounts going and conneect to eqbcs

Also I can't get MQ2Main built when I select the debug build option.
It builds fine if I select only the release version for MQ2Main. The build errors are after the eq/window crash

From changes.txt

- This is a pretty extensive patch, please do a FULL Rebuild.

I suggest you do a full clean then a Full rebuild.

Also it looks like you have Unicode set instead of multibyte in your build settings for debug...

Are you building for test server or live?

Also can I get someone else to reply to this thread if you managed to build and successfully enter the game with this version. Thanks.

[tazmeister]

I did a full rebuild from the start
I created a brand new directory for the code
I keep all the extra plugins stored seperately as source only (plus MS proj files)
so I don't accidentally pickup any intermediate compilation files
ect

The only things shared between the 2 builds were

VS and the source files for the extra plugins

I moved the old directory where I "installed" the release files as well so I wouldn't pick up strays either.

[JJ]

Current build works fine even with custom plugins running. Then again, I always build clean/full.

[tazmeister]

I tried doing a clean and a build and got the same results.

So I tried an extra level of cleaning and wiped the project files and started from scratch.

No build errors this time *fingers crossed*

The probable culprit is that I tried to reuse the sln file to avoid having to readd all the plugins. I used to be able to do this a few years ago, but it doesn't seem to work now.

So on a tangent is there a way to quickly add a number of plugins to be built without having to manually added each one each time a new release is made?

via File->Add->Existing Project
(and for the keyboard preferers Alt-f d e)

[tazmeister]

And it still crashes EQ when EQ tries to start.

Guess it's time to try a new build without any plugins and see if one of them isn't playing nice.

[EqMule]

Are you building for test server or for live?

[tazmeister]

(building for live)

Same occurred building from scratch and not including plugins
Tried rebooting to clear any potential crap out of windows
Still crashes

Started EQ Launcher, and clicked on Play to launch EQ
(vs using InnerSpace)

BINGO - it works now

Launching EQ via InnerSpace using either Default Profile or EQ No Patcher results in an immediate crash

Launching EQ via the Launcher but not with IS launching it but with IS still running works (no surprise just tested it since it was easy and has very predictable results)

Launching eqgame.exe with "patchme" as the argument works as well (with or without IS running, shouldn't matter since IS won't touch the process at all since it didn't start it)


So the one thing that makes it break 100% of the time now is launching via InnerSpace.

Any ideas about this? I think it better to not post to the isboxer site asking for help on this though. I could but the post might be removed and IMO it would be dick thing to do anyways since isboxer needs to remain fully legit to keep companies from pulling out the banhammer or lawsuit hammer (think mmo/wow glider)

I was barely relying on IS as I got MQ setup better so really its loss might be a little painful here but not a showstopper.
The one thing I used it for was fast window swapping.

[tazmeister]

Ok crashes with WinEQ2 as well.
I wasn't optimistic but it seemed worth a try.

[EqMule]

Do you get the a crash has occurred messagebox?

[tazmeister]

I don't get an EQ or MQ "crash has occured" dialog.
I only get a purely windows crash dialog.

Neither InnerSpace nor MQ2 nor WinEQ2 report anything about a crash.

I don't see a log file the non-mq2 apps, of course there many other places I need to check other than the install dirs so they might exist, and I can search if it might help

I turned on debugspew for MQ2 and don't see much, so I think it might not be much help.

I downloaded and run wineq2 and I see the crash as well, unfortunately I can't get a goof stack trace on it cause it crashes in the exception handler itself...
Will continue to investigate I don't know yet but I suspect maybe wineq2 uses some detour we are using or something. It might have something to do with the new crash detour ironically...

[EqMule]

Fixed in MQ2-20150118.zip (I think)

Please try and report back, I only tested with wineq2, not innerspace but fix hopefully works for both, let me know.

Basically if anyone is interested in why the crash happens, I have no idea, but I suspect a racecondition so to "fix" it , I just check if Lavish.dll exist in the process and if so, I give it some time to do its thing before I move on and add our detours and so on, and that seems to work...

[tazmeister]

Great and thanks.
I'll try it after work today.

[tazmeister]

Awesome thanks for fixing this.

I just tried the 20150119 version since I saw it there.
No crash.
