Possibly related any GMs out there ?

[dewed]

I seemed to be running fine after the update, relogged in a couple of times no prob, but possibly related.. and if a GM is listening...

CB crashed right as I was leaving Death Realm, and now it crashes whenever I try to login again.  Is it possible a GM can put me at the spawn location? and see if thats the problem ? If so character name is Dewed Medewed  I\'d be grateful of any news of my poor dwarf lost in limbo land

ps, this was supposed to be a response to the \"Crash after recent update\" post below

pps sounds just like what happened to this guy

Aye i need to be replaced at the spawn point as well (character is Azajul Kaiem)

Apparently, so does Zraxus Dragonwielder

EDIT:  If this helps, it\'s possibly related to the fact that loading new areas *consistently* crashes my client...  Some have reported that this only happens sometimes, but I imagine that if it\'s crashing consistently, it may be trying to load the new map after joining and seeing where the old character is, thereby causing a loadmap crash.

Have you tried the /spawn command? The power of a GM at your very fingertips!

I to have this problem, crashed when exiting death realm, and now the client crashes while loading world stuff on login.

The crash dump is here...

[Zrax]

you know, /spawn would be awesome...  assuming of course the game would load...  which it doesn\'t...  
To clarify:  the crashes that we are getting occur when connecting to the game (the part where you load the maps and such, not the actual server connection)

Have you tried turning sound off? (seems to fix a multitude of problems) Sorry for not carefully reading the problem.

[Zrax]

Have you tried turning sound off?

Yup.  Even tried putting DirectSound back on (seemed to work better earlier even than no sound...  not sure how that makes sense).  I\'ve also tried going non-fullscreen (which causes a different error) and restarting...  None of these helped.  I would post a dump file, but it\'s not even giving me that option, only doing a standard Microsoft crash.

Ok, I installed the original download at an alternative location and logged in with that. I found myself at spawn location in the plaza. I moved into the temple and exited and tried the new version, still crashed, then I used the old to move into the Arena map, and tried the same. This time the new version did not crash. Perhaps the problem is in loading the main Hydlaa map?

[Shiva137]

Yeah, I\'ve had this problem too.  It seems that the newest update makes you crash when you try to leave the death realm, and after that, the game crashes when it tried to load your character.  Nothing short of a new update, or reinstalling will fix it, I imagine.  That, or maybe a gm could kill you again, and you could /spawn out.

[Jabren]

Perhaps it would be a good idea to implement a rollback function on the updater while the game is in the testing? Of course it might be a bit negative for the bugtesting, but as there probably are plenty of old versions of the clients running now it might not be that problematic...

[dewed]

YEAH! ! !

I was apparently moved to the spawn point and all is groovy. I\'ve made no changes to my setup at all.

[pedroozo]

sound off doesn\'t work! i would like to see a person who aclaims otherwise!

[pedroozo]

i have tried allmost every option in setup mode! (screes size, every sound option, vertex buffer object) but nothing helps for that problem. only the creators can do something, so lay back and wait and let the masters do their job. kinda hard to just wait though!

[ZappaZ]

Since there are so many that can\'t login there\'s probably some maintenece going on and all such is to the players benefit
