Nadox Zone Crashes

[Lillu]

There were a single zone crash yesterday so I1m guessing it's not a server related issue?
If anyone can reproduce a zone crash and provide us detail, that will definitely help a LOT for V to fix it. So please do if you can!

Only if I can agro more then 25 at once. Wait shouldn't this post go in that other thread about why not to remove the limit ;p

Servers is pretty stable. I had a few sync issues and we had one zone crash in a unrelated zone. Thats about it the previous month.

was having a lot of de-sync issues until changed some things client side like filtering out most spell/melee/focus/song spam. haven't witnessed a hard crash yet. havent had an issue since changing my filters.

Would you mind posting those for the folks that might need it? I am sure many could use it.
Thanks, Sticky!

Sure!

As always for general lag issues you can turn down/off particle effects for spells/self/environment, reduce your clip plane, use old models. While this is all good for lag, and most of this was already turned down, what helped the most for de-sync issues was Filters.

Filters can be found under Options (Alt+O), look for the tab "Filters" While you can filter stuff to different chat windows by right clicking on the chat window and checking and un-checking the appropriate filter, these filters under the options menu completely filter out that form of info.

Here is a screen shot of my filter list. I kept some things turned on for my personal preference, but the more you turn off the better you will be.

The way filtering works with emu (or certain clients?), you probbaly need to experiement personally to find the settings you prefer. For instance with SoF the base amount you heal or are healed is filtered with "Damage over Time". The base dmg from DD spells is also in this DoT category for SoF.

There was some server side filtering that could be switched on the client. Or I am remembering wrong?

Have not had a zone crash all month hitting the zone every day.
Did your characters lose zone sync or was it a hard zone crash for everyone?
Assuming this post is you saying it was a hard crash where every single client was kicked to login or char select. Might need more info if thats the case.

It was a hard zone crash, I believe we had 40ish toons in raid and every single one was kicked. I had 4 go to login and 1 went to server select and there were no servers listed. The lag bar went from green -> yellow -> red.

Yep, it was a hard crash.

Every single toon in the raid either punted to login, character select, or stuck client.

At the exact time of nadox crashing, there was lag spikes in guild hall. I had one toon sitting in gh and I checked when nadox crashed for all of us. It wasnt just a matter of going out of sinc, there was a total loss of zone. It was a hard crash we all got kicked to eather char select or log in. This is not the first time this has happened on boss 6. I have all my spam turned off.
