A possible linkdeath fix

[Congdar]

Hmm. OK. Well it is a wierd bug as the packet numbers increase a little bit but it isn't long before the numbers never change... like it's in a loop with the same packet number printed and not changing. Commenting out the logging would clear up the logs but I think it will still be looping and causing server/zone lag. Another reason I think a packet is stuck in a loop is that the logs continue to grow, even after the player has logged off the server. The code has a continue; statement... is there were a way to exit instead without causing too much of a hiccup in the network connection?

I am guessing you are running a Windows Server?

I used to have it flood my logs insanely like that, but it was only on Windows. You should be able to edit your log.ini file to stop it from logging those types of errors. But, that doesn't exactly fix the problem. I did notice that Windows server have a major resource issue that builds up over time. I am fairly certain that the resource issue is tied to the player ghosting issue, which is probably the biggest problem with Windows servers. And, it is just a guess, but I am willing to bet that the error you are seeing is related to player ghosts. Player ghosts are characters that hang in the game after the player has logged off or exited EQ. I bet that if one of these issues are fixed that it will fix the other.
