Zone to Desktop

[bobdatoemato]

Hello all,

I will sometimes try and zone from one area to another, and end up crashing to desktop. It does not seem to matter from where to where, and it doesn't do it all the time. When I log back in, I will be in the zone I was trying to get to. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

That issue has plagued the game for years. It's usually a driver issue in Windows, a sound card being the most likely culprit. I've experienced the same problem under Linux using Wine - depending on the Wine and kernel version - which leads my to believe a deprecated, malformed or redundant DX call is being made. It's truly one of those bugs that is buried so deep in the code it may never be found.

Zoning is a curious thing; full of hope and promise one minute, then everything goes pear-shaped.

I remember being DC'd when switching zones and was happy when that seemed to be fixed. This is different, this is a crash to desktop and I haven't seen it until these most recent patches. The crashlog offset and exception type (STATUS_NO_MEMORY) are consistent and to me indicate something that is probably fixable.

Last several crashes:

Faulting application name: dndclient.exe, version: 5000.50.2069.4017, time stamp: 0x61631fd7
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.18362.1679, time stamp: 0x35191cc1
Exception code: 0xc0000017
Fault offset: 0x000d922e

Last 8 crashes were all same exception/offset.

There was one other crash for a different game version of ACCESS_VIOLATION ~11 days ago with a different offset

Faulting application name: dndclient.exe, version: 5000.50.1338.4016, time stamp: 0x61300764
