Crashing on Entry

Elrien Tyln · Post by **Elrien Tyln** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 3:15 am

Decription: The game is continuously crashing over and over when I try to log in with Elrien. Logging in with an alternate character for testing works normally.

The game crashed while I was in "Sea Caves, Deep" at about the third spawn or so. After that I was unable to log back in after repeated attempts. The Area loading screen will progess to about 80-95% done (at various retries) before crashing out of NWN.

Advice?

Ditto what Days said. The cave ceiling override tends to cause a lot of crashing. Remove it and try then.

Jenai has the same problem in the New Nantes Caves.

The cave ceiling override should NOT be in the override folder??

I had somthing very simular happen to one of my characters. I crashed portling to Mithro and kept crashing every time i tried logging in after that with that character. It was not the cave hak because i dont use it.

It needed a server reset to cure the problem.

If you have the cave ceilings override, it's broke. Just delete it. There is a fixed version somewhere, but I don't use it so I haven't bothered much with it.

As far as other issues, sometimes it's a simple as the server needing a reboot, sometimes it's a corrupted hak.

If you find yourself crashing out consistantly upon login, I recommend redownloading the hak for that area. (IE if it's a Mirador tileset area, redownload/reinstall the mirador hak)

That usually fixes these types of issues.

If you're crashing when you log in on a cave area, rename your override folder and make a new, empty one, then try again. If it works after that, you have an issue with one of your overrides.

A list of overrides we endorse and will not cause you any problems with Hala, guaranteed, can be found here: http://www.ysgardhala.org/viewtopic.php?t=1752

Anything else that isn't on that list could possibly cause you problems, particularly ones which change tileset appearances (such as the cave roof override). We don't endorse or suggest any of those =).

The ONLY overrides I have are the ones you listed Dune =p as far as cave Ceilings, I never bothered looking into that one.

I will, however, try renaming my override folder as you suggested Arkon and get back to everyone on the results.

Sorry for the delay in response, I've had a busy week... 2 hours of sleep last night felt like a blessing.. =(

I removed all Overrides from my dir and still crashing =p I will try re-downloading the new sea caves .hak from Bioware now.

Update: Redownloaded all the new 1.67 haks and replaced them, still crashing on load.

Maybe Ginah's suggestion of resetting the server would help? >.<

Make sure you have the latest/correct versions of all haks, not just the sea caves one.

Server was reset about 10 hours ago.

Advice?

This would mean that all your haks work fine. I bet Elrien has a corrupt .bic

Ah yes, but did she take the alt character to the same place??

I assumed that's what was tested...but you know what happens when you assume!

I doubt I could get a level 1 wizard with 4 hp that far down into the sea caves =p in fact the crabs outside would probably have me for lunch.

However, it seems the problem is fixed, whatever it was, I was able to log in normally today. Thanks to whoever waved their wand and spoke the incantation o.o;
