Client Crash Poll

[Dr4z3r]

I've had this happen 2 or 3 times in 30 levels, but both times were over Halloween weekend, notably while I was kiting 20 or more mobs (didn't ever make it back alive, unsurprisingly). I've since stopped kiting 20 or more mobs at once, and it hasn't happened since then. I assume it would still happen if I gathered up half of EK like I was those couple of times, so I said it happens regularly. I dunno.

Win 7 64-bit home premium, geforce gtx 460, quad-core i5, 4gb ram etc etc

It seems to acted as a band-aid for a lot of issues... I heard there's something to actually fix the problem in the works, though.

I run with the Max FPS set to 60, and this fixed a Permafrost lag issue I was having, but I still get crashes.

I had it on 60 and still had problems like you, so I dropped it down to 45 on account of someone elses recommendation and the crashes stopped. That might be the magic number or it may have been one hell of a fluke. 45 is more than enough for EQ to run smoothly, anyway, so maybe give that a shot?

This has been quite frequent for me. I've noticed no pattern and don't run the log.

CPU: AMD 550 Callisto Black Edition, 2 cores
GFX: VGA nVidia GTS 250
RAM: 8GB - forget the brand at work
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

I can be standing in EC, running across a zone, in the middle of a fight. This happens at least once per 72 hour period, consistently. Sometimes it will happen several times in a row, i.e., the client silently closes, I wait, log back in, run around and begin playing and poof: the client silently closes.

I never have this crash.

What is the full string not found line? Things like that are generally helpful to diagnosing a problem instead of the usual OH MY GOD I CRASHED FIX IT

I always assumed this was a client-side thing and as such... not within the bailiwick of you server coders.

Never mentioned it until this thread.

The thread I linked in OP has multiple people with the full string not found line; I didn't copy it down here since I figured you guys had already seen that thread. Here's one I got from my logs:

[Wed Aug 25 14:57:05 2010] Your Tainted Breath spell has worn off.
[Wed Aug 25 14:57:05 2010] ERROR: String not found. (-2139324287)

The actual number in the error message varies. Note that this happens at a lot of various times and doesn't appear to be triggered by anything in particular; the only exception is that it doesn't appear to happen when I'm just sitting there medding and nothing is going on around me.

I'll try this, thanks.

I think my best was 6 days in a row without a disconnect or crash.
