Don't know if anyone else has encountered this new bug, but as of the patch a week or two ago, I've been randomly crashing to desktop - it's not a link death, EQ actually totally disapears and I occasionally get a Windows error message telling me illegal opperation. This particular bug seemed to be linked to going into EQ window mode at first, but now it's not even waiting for me to go into window mode.
It became particularly fun for me this evening while trying to do my 8th shawl walk - just getting the walk to happen had been rather murderous to begin with - most of the guild is KOS to coldain since we've joined sides with the giants (and easy/lazy faction is slaughtering coldain of course), there were some problems I've already ranted with on the Dain himself and for the coup-de-grace, I had about 4 or 5 walks get cancelled due to someone else having either just done it rescently, or one time, another guild being a bit faster on the scramble to help the general out.
But this evening was to be my walk - we had an adequate number of non-kos folks on, the general was up and IC was empty except for one guy keeping an eye out for the mob for the eyepatch quest.
So of course, the @#$% crash bug was EXTREMELY aggresive with me.
Over the course of the walk, I crashed to desktop out of the blue EIGHT TIMES - I finally got to the point that I had to leave the walk and just hang out at the gnomes and pray to my RL god, the computer gods and even a few EQ gods (including Absor and the RNG - what the heck, couldn't hurt
) that I didn't crash again right as the Avatar spawned - it was even more stressful then the 5th and 7th final combines AND my BPP put together - EEP!
Finally, it looked like EQ had finished crashing me - that was only because it had another treat in store for me.
I don't know if this was a one time peice of bad luck that happened just to increase my stress levels by a few more factors, or if this is a new bug for the shawl walk, but the General got stuck on the land somewhere just past ToFS - nothing was working to dislodge him - folks were trying to pull him, hail him - you name it - but whatever the appeal was of that patch of snow, he was staying there.
We of course /petitioned and /bugged the heck out of the situation and of course there wasn't a single GM/guide on the server. Finally, thank god, he just unstuck himself and started on his merry way again.
Happily, I didn't crash and the turn in went smoothly - I am now a proud owner of the 8th shawl! (Which of course means that an uber set of SK only shoulders should be dropping sometime for me in the next week or two :shock: )
