Constant Crashes on Zoning

[Rhyisa]

I too have been getting crashes on Irreverent Server. Tried going to EZ server, works great, no crashes.

PM and I can give you all the stats of my computer. Though I suspect either it's sound or something else. =)

Bumping this thread because I'm having this issue on my server. Several people have claimed to be crashing while zoning and I have no idea what could be causing it.

I have plenty of bandwidth, 50 dynamic zones with a 3 hour shut down delay. In a week I get maybe 1 crashed zone.exe error. Everything is smooth on my end.

I'm looked through my logs and don't see anything that stands out besides some perl file errors. I've asked the affected players to report their crash times and zone just so I can put the times together within the logs.

Anyone have an idea what may be causing this? I've never had zoning issues. I play on the network, but not on the server box.

Best way would be to request their eqdir\logs\dbg.txt - make sure they get it immediately after the crash. This has all the information in that kind of situation on the client end.

From the server end you probably want to establish how long its taking for them zone to zone. There are timers that regulate the auth between zones and even ls->world and world->zones. If these are exceeded their auth may be thrown out as invalid and kick them out to server select. In any case getting log messages to see if they even connect to the next zone would be helpful and what process the zone is entailing for that client.
