World.exe crashing

[Kingmen30264]

First, I would like to mention that NOTHING has changed with my DB. It was running just fine last week when I had it up testing stuff, but today, when I tried to start it, I keep getting the same damned error:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application.

Here is a copy of my debug log:

---------------------------------------------
[08.26. - 16:26:03] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_5348.log
[08.26. - 16:26:03] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[08.26. - 16:26:04] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server hsfdp.no-ip.org:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[08.26. - 16:26:04] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[08.26. - 16:26:04] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

And here is a copy of my login file:

[Debug] [08.26.11 - 16:26:03] Logging System Init.
[Debug] [08.26.11 - 16:26:03] Config System Init.
[Error] [08.26.11 - 16:26:03] Config::Parse(), file was unable to be opened for parsing.
[Error] [08.26.11 - 16:26:03] Database Initialization Failure.
[Debug] [08.26.11 - 16:26:03] Config System Shutdown.
[Debug] [08.26.11 - 16:26:03] Log System Shutdown.

Now the last part of this isn't an issue as it did it all the time, it would run this LAUNCHER_ERROR about not being able to connect, I wait about 5-10s and then it connects and runs just fine.

I get the 0xc0000005 error almost as soon as I click my startup.bat file.

What do I need to change... if anything?

Also, here is a copy of my eqemu_config.xml file:

Any and all help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

What does your start.bat look like?

And what login file is that above? Are you running your own login server? You're using eqemulator.net according to your config.

[Kingmen30264]

Here is a copy of the content for my start.bat file:

@echo off
start EQEmuLoginServer.exe
start world
echo waiting for the world to finish before starting zone...
sleep 10
start eqlaunch zone

As far as the Login file that I posted above, that is a Login LOG file. Wasn't sure if that was relevant or not, but I only had two log files.

[joligario]

Couple of things:
You don't need to run the login server if you are using the eqemulator.net login server.
Sleep does not work in windows.

I made those changes, and it still gives me this error. I just don't understand.... It was working just fine last week when I took it down, and now it's not working :(

[Kingmen30264]

Hmm.... Easiest of all fixes... a reboot. Guess something got crossed when my power went out yesterday (had a storm roll through).... Works now. '

Thank you all for your help
