ingame lock ups

[koni]

lo peeps,

ok little problemo for you to look at,

first off, were running 1.9 ledu client
can get ingame fine
all gates are fine with no errors
but...

when we spawn mobs ingame it seems to lock up just like if you have lagged out everything stops you can move a space then stop but all mobs that you have spawned stay where they are
you then have to log back to the char screen then back in again and all is fine
its becoming quite frustrating as we cant figure out wtf is going on, the serv owner/host has re-done the exe several times incase it was some kind of error with it, but still no change when these lockups happen the m2 shows no errors what so ever

host pc has athlon64 3000
512mb ram

etc etc

any help would be much appreciated

Sounds like a wil / wix isn't matching up. Does it happen on ALL mobs or just certain ones? And have you made any changes to the client files recently?

think its todo with the dead mobs ghost on floor, some new mobs can crash it heard this happening on other server.

But wouldnt he lag up when he re entered the game?

Many mobs you spawning?

You still lagging up when you spawn say 3 mobs?

mines doing it m8 i havent changed any thin or added anythin if he was to check his page useage an see wot thats at as mine goes up 2 1.5gig wen i go on it which will cause mass amounts of lag + cause his comp to crash as hes using up to much if u get me

I had a similar problem once with a certain mobs magic attack, because i forgot to update the wix as well as the wil. Just a sudgestion.

A little more detail about the problem wouldn't go amiss.

Sounds like the dragon looking mob corrupt wills and wixs will cause your client to lock up if i rmeber corectly u have to end now on the exe due to the wil and wixs corrupted or images not placed correctly

 

[koni]

there has been some client changes yes, mob magic's have been changed to different wil and wix, dragon has not been changed, its ok untill u spawn say 8+ mobs at once, but all is fine after you log out and then back in again

also hun effect wil and wix have been changed but dont see how that could effect it, maybe it is where the mob magic has been changed form the original one as we wanted to get mobs t bolting ingame as the image was missing from the l-monmagic.wil, we will put the old ones back in and change the bits in the db and see what happens, as for cpu usage it stays low, server pc is only being used for the server files not to play the game on, my pc has this lock up and so does the server owners pc and we are in completely diff locations so it must be down to the mob magic.wil as all was fine before that was changed

running processes are low as it was a fresh install of windows server, and was basicly a completely new system so nearly all components are new and not o/c or anything

will let you know how it goes, if its no different then may need somemore suggestions as to what the prob could be


thanks very much for your help so far all

well, we try'd using a none modified client and it was locking up still, so transfered server files to another pc on the same network and it runs like a dream, so god knows whats going on with the new machine?, did have some problems installing windows, xp pro sp2 was maxing the cpu out so we installed windows server 2k and it was ok but we have this problem now lol, gona try xp home see how it goes, still not sure why xp pro was maxing out the cpu

ty for all your help tho

"Lock" would mean the freezing of the client! Which indicated either one of the wil or wix files is currupted.

Correct but after fault finding from the suggestions of the problem on here we found that there was no client problem as we used untouched client files and revised all the db work but the problem was still there.
Now the server files are on a different machine it is working fine we can spawn 1000's of mobs and get no lockups or ingame lag or client freeze's etc, so it is on this occasion not a corrupt wil/wix file.

We are now going to change the os on the server and see if the problem is still there afterwards.

 

[MentaL]

You do know it can current on a download right or on extraction via high cpu usage. Anyways, does not seem logical that it was down to the server causing a "lock up" as the server if it does cause an error does not cause the client to freeze, just simply give you a popup message and disconnect you from the server.

Glad you sorted it.
