Very large bug, not sure what to try.

There is a large bug in the new MQ, which is causing many CTDs. If you run a macro, it ends, then camp and open a char on another server and run another macro, you randomly CTD.

I've had this problem too, as has my roommate.

You can use my version until the current version is fixed if you'd like. It's fully functional, just doesn't have the newest features.

does that version have a working /selectitem?

Also, I'm gaan try and get a CTD on my desktop now where I got softice installed. You want the point at which it breaks?

Ok. I log into a char. I run a macro. Macro ends (note macro involves trading an item to an npc). I camp. Second I hit char select, I get a crash window. This is what softice picked up:

crashed at some out of program space address"

EDIT: this is only 1 bug of the 2. This one I think may only occur when you disable the window via /filter mqchat off.

The second bug happens when I log in a char, run the macro, log out, go too a second server, log in, and run the same macro. I get a CTD right after it starts. But this is the odd thing.... I cant get the bug to happen on my desktop, only my laptop - yet they use the EXACT same compile, and I know its not my comp, cause a friend of mine is using the exact binaries I am (on a laptop) and is getting the same problems....

If it has nothing to do with the comp why does it only happen on one of your systems, with the same binaries? Are your drivers updated, windows critical updates installed, etc?

On desktop system, I get bug 1 a lot, never get bug 2. On laptop, I get bug 2 a lot, bug 1 rarely lol. This is fucked up. Keep in mind too that until this version of MQ this didnt happen, and I was using same macro.

And your eqgame.ini is updated correct? e.g. Zoning is a function location not a memory location?

Pragma · Post by **Pragma** » Mon Nov 10, 2003 2:27 am

Um.. no in mine zoning is a memory location. Thats wrong? I got this from CVS as of like the 8th

EDIT: btw, thanks source but I cant use your, you CTD on /selectitem "Water Flask" merchant

Looks like I was 1 irclatest behind, wow, and that was my third update since patch too :) Lets see if this fixes anything.

Also, if that doesnt fix it, I noticed that my desktop has dx9, while laptop has 8.1, ill try putting 9 on laptop.

EDIT: Newest .zip and dx9 and bug 1 still happens on both systems. Randomly at char selection it just dies. Gana test now for bug 2 on laptop.
