Seems independent of client tbh, had multiple crashes on all 3 clients tonight. Just avoid blend area if you're having the problem

Not going to Mid anymore until this is fixed. Spent a very frustrating hour with mass lds from our group happening once every few mins.

My guess would be either corrupt data on the server or a bug in the new game.dll leading to a NULL pointer or something.

At least all of us that were affected crashed simultaniously. But not all of us were affected so my first guess would be that there is a corruption in the prydwen files as it didn't happen on the German servers so far.

They didn't. I crashed the same time as you did. ;)

"I have feeling that GOA hopes next patch will fix these problems or? Personally I dont expect any changes before the patch which sucks because I would like to RvR instead of wathing random crit errors"

I think Oo

This almost certainly isnt going to work, but have people tried doing a complete file check?

Also as its a problem that specific users suffer from, then its almost certainly machine specific. (Though its hard to be certain as all we have is anecdotal evidence).

Perhaps if the people who crashed posted up the pc and OS details then that would held find some commanality.

Ive not experienced this crash myself, even though multiple people in my group have dropped. Does it crash to desktop with no information or what?

yes it comes up with an error game.dll fatal/critical error program closed if problem persists blah blah send error report / dont send ....

this is what you usually get when this occurs also complete filecheck makes no difference for me neway

PC: Athlon 64 X2 4800+, 4 gig ddr400 crucial ram, dual PCI gigabyte 7800 GT 256mb cards in SLi, Asus A8N-Deluxe board. Fresh install of Win2k Pro SP4 on Monday: crashes in SI, TOA, Catacombs

Server: Athlon 64 3000+, 2gig ddr400 OCZ ram, ATI Radeon 9800 256mb, Abit Av8+3rd Eye board: crashes in SI, TOA, Catacombs

Laptop: Toshiba Satelite P20 laptop, 3.2GHz P4, 512mb ddr ram, nVidia FX Go5700 card. Fresh install of WinXP Pro SP2 on Tuesday: crashes in SI, TOA, Catacombs.

Funny thing is I tried running 3 accounts last night at Blendrake. Culian on the laptop running SI, Tickled on the server running Catacombs and Usp on the PC running TOA, all 3 clients crash at the exact same time when they were in or near the keep. So it is very unlikely that the issue is with the PCs or a corrupt file on my installs as I have 3 seperate brand new installs (fully downloaded from patcher) on all 3 machines.

Looks like someone spent a few pennies on that one :)

It is NOT machine specific. It occurs on different machines at exactly the same time.

Very true, I got a 2 grand computer and a botched buffbot machine and they both crash out at different times. Now and again they crash together.

Dont know if someone mentioned this already since this is a long ass thread, but the crashes involve something with warlocks and their spells. Many people go LD as soon as any warlock comes close and starts casting ^^.
Expect a relic raid with 100 warlocks soon ^^

My PC isn't that great my con is okish and it's never happened to me once. I hardly get any lag either.

The only thing i can think of is that there has to be a collection of character data on a server somewhere, maybe this is spread over multiple servers and the one is shagged(technical jargon term).

Repeated crashes tonight added to the lack of anything under a fg out amounted to /quit for me within 30 mins of logging back in :(

k.
i am sure goa wish next weeks patch fix these crit error problems in frontiers.
this is probably reason why goa havent so far react these crit error problems.
but over 2 week same crap, game unplayable most situations in frontiers, is this acceptable?

just my personal opinion offcourse.

Has anyone (any realm) been experiencing LD's/Crash to desktop today (saturday) in mid frontiers ?

It's been happening to me all day (over 20 times now) from as soon as I logged on but only in the frontiers. All my accounts and a LOT of ppl in groups or bg's were crashing out to the desktop with no apparent reason and a lot of the time we were crashing out all within about 5-10 seconds of each other. Relog and then it seemed to randomly happen again within 2-15 minutes. Everything seemed fine last night.

We went on a darkspire raid tonight and that was fine - np at all in any of the mid non-frontier zones but straight after that I went to the frontier and it started again. It seems like a server problem for so many clients from all round europe all having the EXACT same problem :(

Someone suggested runnign the ToA client instead of the Catacombs client and this seemed to lessen the crashes a lot.

Anybody else noticed this or have any ideas?

had the same in all frontier zones but in mid it happened alot more

btw was only NF for me as soon as i entered some other area everything was fine, no crashes at all
