Crashing since last XU patch : DAOC Discussion

The program says "Xunleashed Server lost...trying to reconnect"

A few seconds later, my game will crash, and the XU program screen will be blank white and freeze.

It has been happening more and more commonly.

I do run zonealarm and Google popup blockers but disabled them after the warning on the site.

Any advice? Anyone else having this since the last update?

I am checking to make sure that I have removed all popup windows that could crash the game when you loose connection. That should not happen, just the xu server lost message.

The server was down today for about 20 minutes at 3:00 pm cst.

Yup me and all my friends crashed at the exact same time today after server lost connection... that is not good. Logged back in one by one and got killed.

Just happened right now again. 3:30pm pst, 12/13

^2:30*

If it helps, I have found the reason for the crash. I will be incorporating it into one of the upcoming patches.

Server is back up now.

So until then no XU for me

unpopularmorals, I think the admins meant he found the cause of the crash to desktop when their server goes down. Not why you cant connect...

it cracks me up that DAoCUnleashed's Customer Service is better than Mythic's.

Thanks

Would it be possible to just fix that problem with a quick patch... instead of waiting for you to add new details etc... its becomming VERY frustrating, and I love ur program but I am going LD my groupies getting pissed and wondering whats going on.

Been having issues with it crashing DAoC as well... I don't know what's going on but since that last patch (where it all started) everything has been going haywire...might it have something to do with .NET framework? I don't think i have it installed and was wondering if that would help any?

Zoz, what do you mean by haywire?

Well i mean the patch.bin error message i've gotten from the first update... which wasn't so so bad... i just updated Xunleashed then. I've gotten the random bad memory errors which SEEM to have gone away after yesterday evening's patch. Now though i get the issue where when Xunleashed looses the connection and then crashes DAoC. I've seen this happen if i accidentally shut down Xunleashed before DAoC. But never during gameplay. It's been happening a lot since all the new patches. Was wondering if we needed to update or add something on our ends. I've got DX 9.0b and am running Windows XP pro. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I'm glad that things seem to be improving. We are constantly making changes to our software, and cannot always forsee the consequences on the various platforms. While we do test each patch before it goes out, somethings can slip by.

We are working on a better server structure.

It's been crashing DAOC very badly the last couple days. I was out of town for 2 weeks and just started running it a couple days.

And man, it's really bad. I crashed out 4 times yesterday and finally just gave up.
