Critical Error for Spatz

since i started playing dc again i have been experiencing similar "general protection faults" every day i play. I was starting to think it was because of my computer but now that its happening to everyone hmm..... I get the most crashes when i'm about to die but now i think it's fixed.

In the previous version, you died and as you respawned then it crashed. I seemed to have managed to move the bug so that it now crashes as you die rather than when you respawn. It's a bug in the code if the crash message mentions Post_Render

Hmm..I'm not very convinced you moved the bug since I still crash when I respawn, but it would have to do for now

I got the "non thermal" crash on Cola Wars yesterday. It was in wave 1 and I hadn't died yet. After that, I started crashing due to my faulty vid card.

didn't you say you have a agp slot? if so i got a couple of agp cards i can check and maybe you'll want one ..cost of shipping is all that way no more vid issues

The DC server

oh ok thanks for answering question um 3 i think i will see u guys ( on dc) in 4 or 3 days it will depend.

I just noticed- you dont have an avatar? well i'm guessing u dont want 1 or just too busy updating dc server

Can I just seek clarification about the "Process_PostRender" crash. My understanding is that

it occurs sometimes when you die, and at no other times

it happens when you are a medic, engineer or general class, but not for any other class (with the following exception)

if you are not general, engineer or medic, but have summoned a monster with the summoning charm, you can get the crash

If you disagree with the above, can you let me know. But please do not feed me wrong information - if you have any doubt, do not post. If you say you hadn't summoned a monter yet you had, it will restrict my ability to fix the bug

I've had it occur when using the Suicide command. Engineer class.

Thanks. I think that is just a different way of dying though. But again, engineer class so fits in with my assumptions.

I'm sorry for BUMPing an ancient thread, but is this still not fixed? Players are really getting fed up with this crash and I have talked to Marco (aka .:..

about the error and he says it has something to do with the actor something in the Monster Points and Engineer Points interactions. If I remember correctly, he said something about it crashing when the client tries to access an interaction that doesn't exist anymore after the player dies. If this has not been fixed, then I will ask him for a slice of code. Irony is that for all I barely remember, it might have just been setting the interaction property to none after it is destroyed.

Yup ... still not fixed

Thanks for the notification, Elite. I'll ask Marco about it the next time I run into him.
