Title: How about fixing crash / disconnect critical issues before you start a server?
Post by: Dietmar on October 16, 2012, 05:40:55 PM
Going to Shuttgart blacksmith causes the game to crash. After logging in again the game continues to crash unless going on lower detail. After the multiple crashes a new bug occurs in which the user is disconnected when attempting to target any NPC or player in the Shuttgart town.

====== Modiffication=====
Found the steps of reproduction of the bug and the thing triggering the bug --- mineral trader Hitchi inside shuttgart blacksmith has bad metadata and causes the game to crash / disconnect further on.

Bug steps of reproduction:
- Boot the game
- Start a Artisan quest with a level 18 dwarf
- When the quest is splitting to either gludio or shuttgart choose shuttgart
- Continue to Pluderous Plains and then move to Shuttgart again to mineral trader Hitchi
- Notice that when entering Shuttgart blacksmith the title crashes
  ~~ Workaround -> Go to low details and log in again
- Notice that when targeting NPC Hitchi the user cannot take target and it is disconnected from the server from now on whenever trying to target something
  ~~ Workaround -> Delete the Artisan class quest and when making it again choose Gludio path and not Shuttgart.

Issue only occurs for the dwarven Artisan quest when choosing the shuttgart path. The contact NPC in shuttgart is bugged.

~~~~~~~~Modification again~~~~~
It seems that Hitchi is not the only NPC that is bugged in Shuttgart. As I've seen on the forum throughout the day, a lot more people are experiencing this bug in Shuttgart at different levels. It seems that most of the Shuttgart NPC's are bugged and any quest that wants contact with one of those NPC's will make the client crash and disconnect every time the user tries to target npc/player/pet/himself. The only way to solve this issue locally for the moment is to discard of that quest until the NPC's are fixed.

Cheers,
Dietmar.
