BIG CRASH and another problem

[Ahriman]

MNy machine:
Intel p4 3.06GHZ processor
1.5 GB sdram
120GB barracuda HDD 83GB free space

The problem is that when I get to DR it keeps crashing every 5 seconds about this:
(Common Exception Access Violation goes Here) 00403467
Now while I fell I got stuck in a pole holding up the platforms and cant unstick. I also cant PM anyone like a GM cause itll crash before I can. Myabe someone can tele me out of DR?

[Yorik]

Identical problem here, though with different machine: same error number, same random behavior, same session duration (few seconds).

IMHO it's not related with DR ...

To me it stick with DR.. now I cant play because im stuck and not being able to move.... Im glad im not the only one with this problem..

Oh and by the way every like 20ms the System tab says "recieved invalid velocity data, moving back to valid place in sector DR01 or something but it doesent move me back.

[Yorik]

I can move, even run ... if I'm fast enough to push the (shift) arrow keys before the program crashes
I was even able to write a short message on guildchat tab, and even read a reply by a guildmate, but then ... *WHAM* *crash*

No stuck problem, though ...

[Ahriman]

Nevermind about the being stuck thing, I got teleported, but the crashed are still there every few seconds.

I too am stuck in the DR. Run-time errors every couple of seconds to a couple of minutes. Sometimes I don't even get the area loaded before I've crashed. Had lotsa crashes on Oja road trying to get bach to Hydlaa city so /die myself. Not sure what to do. Playing is an exercise in futility right now.

Try disabling sound in the setup.

[ThomPhoenix]

I'm having it here too, with or without sound, with original client or CVS HEAD with sound fix included.
Exact same crash number.

[Bereror]

Ok, it is not a sound-related crash, but something else. Will take some time to find the exact reason and fix it.

[ThomPhoenix]

It's location related.
Only fix for me was to log in with another character and ask a GM to reset my position to plaza.
Then I could play with the affected character again.
Some people have reported it in the DR, while others have no problems in the DR. I encountered it in the Arena.
It's possible someting is wrong in the code that handles sectors/coordinates system.
Or maybe the maps don't contain the right sector information, like with the new Bronze Doors maps.

[holmj2674]

Ok, I can log in with another character, but the problem I have is that when I try to log on with Kesrith in the Dr the crashes grow closer and closer together until I can't even load an area before I've crashed. Then it tells me I'm missing a DLL file and the game crashed before it even loads completely. I've had to re-install PS now like four times, and I'm about to do it again. Very nast nasty error.

[Bereror]

dfryer found and fixed the problem. Unfortunately you have to wait couple of days until the updated client becomes available. Until then try to avoid meeting dead characters

People who have built their clients from CVS sources can open src/client/pscelclient.cpp, go to the line #1000 and move vitalManager = new psClientVitals; up to the line #973. We have currently problems with the CVS repository and can't commit updates. CVS is working now and you can update to the latest HEAD version.

[Ahriman]

  Will look forward to the new client!!! One thing Is amazing though, after I got out of DR once, the crashes are farther amd farther apart now... 

[Easton]

i had something similar to this, except my client would "not respond" when i entered bdroad2. GMs were also needed to get me out of this map.. any suggestions?

[holmj2674]

Ok, was taken out of the DR by Magodra, but still having run time errors either on log in or within 30sec-2min of logging in. I can't even play the game on ANY of my characters.
