Hello, i've had my server live for about a month. ive had three crashes with a decent amount of players on. this truly is an inconvenience for them.

it gave me this error, im currently looking for a way to fix or stop this before my server gets a larger player base. right now my dedicated players are just glad im working through the issues and adding more content. though this is with maybe 9 players on i received this crash. my fear is that with 100 players i might crash more often. can anyone shed some light? it sbeen my biggest headache.

anyone got any ideas about this. Staff_Stanic, did you encounter this before? is that why you mentioned home + homedist without a gembit?

It's not the same error....
Unfortunately with an error like this it does mean little to someone who does not have access to the system code.
All you can do right now is hang on for Ben, Ranx or Shak to see it and decipher what it is.

I have located the code area where the error happens... the part that sucks is that there isn't much info about what caused the error. I'll try to follow the code's logic to see if I can find an inconsistency, but I can't promiss you more then that.

Post: #8

is it a good bet that ive caused this by means of script ive done? ive been going through code trying to locate issues by eye. and trying to optimize and make sure i dont see anything strange.

here's to hoping ben can work his magic and come up with a definite answer.

I had a similar problem but Mordaunt said "It's not the same error...." :/

The only thing similar is that they are both errors...
your error happens in the Char::NPC_TickAction() where as Soulless' error happened in CWorld::TimerFunction::Tick()

@Soulless
It's possible that it was caused by a script, thing is, I'm not sure what the TimerFunction::Tick() actually does yet.
