Single Character won't load in specific zone....

[Jalico]

I've scoured the forums and old archived posts about this but haven't found a solution yet.

The problem: I attempt to log onto my main character and once I hit "Enter World" in the Character select screen, the computer acts as normal and starts to load up, hangs a little longer than my other characters but then disconnects to the account login screen.

This only occurs on my main character who is stuck in GFay BUT, when I've had the admin move my character to Felwithe, I was able to log in and bank and act as normal. Once I zoned into GFay again, the game booted me out to my account login screen again.

All of my other characters are able to go into and out of GFay perfectly fine, I've been able to create characters perfectly fine; it seems to only be the one character.

Things done to attempt to fix the issue:
Cleared all possible caches, cookies, etc....
Reinstalled the game multiple times
Messed with resolution and UI files to see if that would fix something
Tried switching to WinEQ

I may be missing some things I've done since it has been a couple weeks now of trying to fix on my own. Mind you that while trying all of these, my other characters worked perfectly fine.

ANY help on this issue would be greatly appreciated and if I haven't done it, I will probably attempt to do whatever is suggested since I am desperate to get back on my main character again.

delete the log file for that character, if those happened to get retained between installs

[Jalico]

All logs were deleted and last install was in a new location to avoid it being a messed up file system or reading old data.....

I also forgot to add my dbg info...... it appears that it isn't loading the ITEMS for this specific character where it normally does.

the last lines in the dbg.txt file with everything I think needs to be in there...... if someone sees that more is needed, i should be able to add more as well

This is an issue with data related to that character on the P99 servers - nothing you change on your own hard drive will fix this. I'm 100% sure of this, so that's a good starting point.

Unfortunately I can't say exactly what the data conflict is because there are so many different ways bad data can cause this. Duplicate lore items are a classic example - for instance, if you acquire multiple non-lore items and then at some point they retroactively change all of those items to be lore, that would then be "bad data" on your character which is all stored on the P99 servers. The Skipping Stone crashing bug is another example of bad data.

So it sounds like something about Greater Faydark is conflicting with the data on that character. Or, maybe it's not only Greater Faydark and the same thing would happen with other zones too. I'm willing to wager it's item data though, since that's usually the culprit for this kind of thing. Not positive, just a hunch.

Here's what I would do - get moved back to Felwithe, since you know you can log into that zone, and then do an /outputfile inventory blahblah.txt and look for anything out of the ordinary in the text file. Another thing you could try after you're back in Felwithe is unequipping and reequipping everything on your character one by one - if at some point it crashes then you've likely found the offending item. Same with everything else in your inventory - bags, everything in your bags, if items are stacked then take one out of the stack and put it back, etc. And put in a forum petition, obviously - server GMs are much better equipped to suss out the problem, once they find the time for it.

When you reinstalled did you install it to different locations each time.

Sometimes your zone files do get corrupt. It is best to get a known working zone file from someone and see if that works.

[paulgiamatti]

I doubt that's the problem since he doesn't have any problems with Greater Faydark on any of his other characters.

[Jalico]

I did reinstall it in different locations just in case it was a corrupt file system or if it read from old data..... didn't work.

i could try and have someone pass me the Gfay zone file and see if that works, its worth a shot but like paulgiamatti said, my other characters work in there so it doesn't seem to be the culprit but i will try the item moving one at a time.....

start naked i'd assume and then start adding a couple or so

Think paul is right here, this looks like an error on the server's side that ended when items were in the process of being retrieved

[Jalico]

thanks for the advice, good to know its probably not (at least from what it looks like) on my side......

i've petitioned the GMs to move me now i just need to find the time and work through the items..... i'll let you know what i find out if anything

[paulgiamatti]

Also, I forgot to mention your banked items, which will all show up in the /outputfile inventory text file. I'm not exactly sure how bank item data is handled, but that's another thing to try if nothing on your character seems to be causing any problems.
