Unknown crashing issue?

Post by Hades » Sun 02.12.2007, 12:43

Hello everyone,
     Well, after 5 server crashes in less then three days, I have come to the conclusion that this is becoming sort of an annoying problem. I am working on the cause now, but I think its something item/player related since all these crashes happens in some sort of a vault. I apologize for the up down up down status of the server right now, hopefully it will be resolved soon. Just keep playing, and if it crashes on you, please post here exactly what you were doing, what item you picked up, what item you dropped, or what item you wore It will be very helpful to my investigation.

Thank you,
-Later

Problem resolved...

    It was due to a corrupted savefile that I found. Sadly the corrupted savefile transfered to my backups so I was unable to save it. the vault/item thought I had was wrong.  It just so happened that this  player would try to log on at the exact same time someone was in a vault causing it to crash... Some coincidence eh?

How bad is the corrupted save? Is it just the tail end, or is the whole thing pretty toasted?

It was stuck in computer language or something, unreadable.  and incomplete. Toasted.
