Did someone say crash upon login ?

[Nestor_II]

I can, happens each time i login and several times during what short time i get to play.

Here is all the times it crashes on me.
1) Login
2) Porting
3) turning a corner in NT
4) running towards a gate
5) clicking on a game icon.
And my new fav !
Istaria.exe has stopped working

Now I know sometimes the job you do is thankless and You wish these things didn't happen, but lets face it, when over half the people in your guild get dropped all the time, something is very wrong in codeville.

And all the bug reports that have been handed in don't seem to be able to show the root cause of all the dropping to the desktop or just plain locking up, then a reboot is required.

Perhaps a biting of the bullet is needed and get someone who can make heads or tails of all this crashing and lockups, or stop jacking with things during the Tuesday downtime, which cause more problems than they intend to fix.

I know this post won't last long before it is deleted and I get a PM about it, all i ask is thicken up the skin and brainstorm about things.

Hmm

Fault module libIGGfx.dll, Is this not used in Intrinsic Alchemy?

[Nestor_II]

3 crashes in 3 minutes and didn't even get into the game, uninstalled and am now re-installing, to see if that works.

[Nestor_II]

The re-install seems to be working good so far, haven't ported much yet, so only time will tell.

Hmm

Fault module libIGGfx.dll, Is this not used in Intrinsic Alchemy?

Knossos

I believe so. The file is from Intrinsic Graphics Inc.

[Steelclaw]

Yeah. libIGGfx.dll is part of Alchemy. If you're getting consistent crashes involving that dll, it's almost always because of some corrupted texture png stashed in the world cache.
