The Hidden Forest

Hail Noble Adventurers!

Ok, not sure if this has anything to do with Vaion's fixes, but, I started the Vistrinda fight, and as soon as my group got involved, and before any macs or hotkeys, the entire raid lagged, and all but one crashed to desktop. Probably some died as a result. I didn't realize they were crashing until I saw my hotkey not working, and clicked into others to see what was happening. I couldn't control anyone, other than the warrior I was on initially.

I've won this fight every day since I first beat it last week, and even before I won it I soundly got Vistrinda to 50 % each time before havoc ensued. The only character that didn't crash to desktop was my warrior, who wasn't initially involved in the fight as he was clicking eggs. By the way, though I clicked on the eggs, the /say command to open the eggs didn't work, so they joined the fight on Vistrinda's side, and then summoned my warrior, killing him.

Before the fight I ran a few LDON's without incident, and ran a bit in HoH, again without incident.

Checking my side of things, but everything looks great. Again, could be a one-time fluke, but it ended my EQ day.

A reiteration of an EQ Murphy's law I think, or a new one: "when you think you have a fight down, you will invariably lag, and wipe. Probably because Vaion is evil!"

In all seriousness, thanks for all the hard work, but if this isn't me, please check to see if it's YOU.

/cheers!

Oh, if it matters, 13 in zone, and I've never experienced lag like this in this zone. I usually have to be in Tactics for that!

I reverted back the changes I made over the weekend a few hours ago. I introduced a few other bugs that I had to iron out first.

The bugs are fixed now on my internal server, but I have not pushed the updated code back onto live yet. So this crash was prolly just a random fluke that hopefully the new code will fix

Ahh,, those flukes,, I've never liked them!

Hail,

Decided to try Vistrinda again, and voila, same story. Well, it took a few more seconds, but, first noticed it again when my /say to the eggs that they are free, and they didn't thank me, but hatched and attacked the raid.

Ok, so, started to see people not reacting to spells cast, like healing, and then saw them start disconnecting/getting killed, or getting killed/disconnecting in concert. It's happening way too soon to be a problem with my strat, and other than this fight my system seems to be running fine.

Again, it could be me, but..

I would def say its not you some mobs zones its quite unplayable for me despite the revert patch. I cant even play atm so not even trying to log in my groups.

Updates just went live again. I know it's a pain, but if you can give Vistrinda another go, it will clarify if it was a related code issue or something acting up in the quest files. I haven't modified anything with her quest, but it possible that some of the source coding could be interacting with it in a negative fashion.

Cool! Was lining up for her as you were getting ready to shut the server down, so I'm ready for the attempt... oh the suspense is killing me!

Success!!!

Whatever you did to undo whatever you did, you did well! I'm glad you did it, but don't do that other thing again, please....

lol, so im assuming that the lag/crash/disconnect is fixed that you were getting?

Id say it is gone entirely i just took out vt with zero issues or lag no crashing.
