Crashes after 1.68.

[Urme the Legend]

DAoC has crashed several times per day since 1.68 went live. It never happened before 1.68.. not even once. Sometimes it can go like 2-3 hours before it crashes and other times less then an hour. Usually more of course on big raids / keeptakes.
I got 2 computers and this happens on both of them.

Computer spec 1:
AMD XP2100+
512mb DDR ram.
Geforce4 Ti4400 128mb
ASUS Motherboard.
Windows XP

Computer spec 2:
Intel PII 700mhz
370mb SD ram.
Geforce2 64mb (not MX)
ASUS motherboard.
Windows XP

It's very annoying to LD die during big raids and keep takes... someone got any kind of ideas what's wrong now? When it worked perfect in 1.67 but keeps crashing with 1.68.

a friend of mine had a similar problem, but not with daoc, he plays some other gimp game, he found out he had a virus called sasser.a. dunno what it is realy, but maybe worth checking.

Will check that when I get home, but I doubt that I got any viruses.. got latest norton and updating virus definitions each morning.

But you never know these days.

No viruses found.. found some spyware shit that I removed but didn't help.

Installed latest Nvidia drivers .. didn't help either :/

Tried to go back to the Atlantis skin instead of my custom UI.. but couldn't test it long enough, will see tonight.

Next step is to reinstall TOA .. and then WinXP..

Might sound stupid but had a similar problem. Also got the blue screen of death at the same time.

Solved the problem by disabling the onboard soundcard and installed a new one.

Hav'nt had any problem since.

I use the onboard soundcard.. and don't want to disable it But did you problem start in 1.68? Though my problem is that game.dll crashes.. don't get a bluescreen. And it usually happens after 2-3 hours.. or when there are alot of stuff going on the screen.. like a large raid/keep take.

yeah the problem started right after we got 1.68 but was lucky enough to have another soundcard lying around hehe.

My problem was the blue screen of death or a crashing to desktop with a game.dll error and sometimes the crash was without any error's at all.


Just thought it might be worth a try.
