Re: Crash when leveling

Someone in chat suggested it might be something to do with when the game updates your web profile or something. I think they are right because I just did 1-9 on the island with no crashes, and then on level 10 (when it puts your pic online or something), it crashed.

Development is aware of the issues with crashing and is actively working on a fix. They hope to schedule an update to fix this very soon.

it hurts to see something like this not fixed in x amount of days... you guys throw out a new launcher but cant even fix a simple bug in the game that pretty much ruins your game play....

Launcher has been in the works over a year now...

but it still gave me hella of a time to get that stink to work heh. I was on the verge or making a few new buff bots but crashing is one thing i can work with, but lvling up and crashing is another.... the Vg player website needed to be updated a long time ago i guess now they will really have to update it....

What makes me, and I'm sure others, upset about this is that if this were happening in EQ, EQII or most likely just about any other SoE game, this fix would have been done and pushed live within a day or two at the most of it starting to happen.. I guess it just goes to show where the best game that SoE offers stands in the priority list...

This been fixed yet? I have no interest in playing until fixed. I have lost too much crafted stuff crashing before I can loot it.

I just started working Diplo on one of my toons in hopes of grinding out lvl 50 for PotA (since my toon is on T2) and from level 1-6 every level I am crashing to desktop.
This is very annoying.
How long until a fix will be patched?

It's definitely the vgplayers blog update.. seems like the client is pushing out the screenshot with wrong TCP settings and causes regular internet lines to become congested. I had that since after the small patch last fall while on DSL, and it's gone since I upgraded to fat cable. My guildmates still keep crashing on blog update, first noticeable when their voice drops out on Teamspeak.
Seems to happen on all blog upload occasions.. be that level up, serverfirst crafting, or the /blogupload command.
"working on a fix"... I don't know how convoluted the Vanguard sources are.. but that function shouldn't be THAT huge.. and the diff of one patch can't be that huge either.. ;-)

They are probably trying to figure out what to do without having to continue using the vgplayer update service, which they cancelled, according to TSR Sean F. They will have to go into the code and remove the settings that take the screenshot and item info that uploads to the vgplayer site. I bet this is the conversation they had at the office: Guy looks out over field of cubicles "Hey, does anyone here have the program that edits the vg script?" Voice way from the back: "We do over here but we are working on non dead games right now, kk bye"

If this is the case, then it should be a simple fix:
void postLevelActions() {
.
.
# sendInfoToVGPlayers();
.

}

This really worries me...if the code is that bad that they can't even do a simple thing like comment out some code, then this game is either horribly coded OR they don't have anyone coding anything right now.

I assume this is still an issue?

You should only crash at 5, 10, 15, 20, etc until something like the 30's or 40's when you crash every level. (Those are the levels a screenshot is uploaded to vgplayers)
Funny thing is that totals to something like 100 guaranteed crashes if someone levels all 3 spheres to max level, assuming no discoveries are made along the way... ROFL

It's 5, 10, 15, 20 and then every level starting at level 21. This is true for adventure levels and crafting levels, but I can't verify when the every level begins for diplo (although I know it's true at lvl 32+) as I haven't done any low level diplo since the bug was introduced.

I'm a new player, and absolutely love this game. I just wish Sony would sell it for a realistic price (sum active vg subs, not including station pass, times 5 years) to an indy developer who would make cleaning up the codebase a priority. We all know the code is crap, just like eq1. But with good people behind it, this game could soar.
When my trial is up I will not pay money for this, and neither should anyone else. F2P or sell it, sony. I'm sick of crashing on level up.

This is not an uncommon mentality. I'm growing tired of the crash myself, and I don't even play alts that much. I'm just happy I was able to level my main to 55/50diplo/40+ crafting before this crap started.

Happily adventuring away yesterday, poking things with sharp sticks, and then i decided to check out a chest laying nearby...got a discovery on a necklace and subsequently crashed, bringing my evening of fun to a premature close.
