h and i builds stop responding, had to go back to g, last stable for me

[Roboscott]

The 'h' and 'i' builds will just randomly stop responding. There doesn't seem to a specific trigger, it may be some kind of timing related issue.

The UI doesn't respond, so you cannot close it through the application to recycle it.

You have to kill it through task manager.

'g' does not seem to have this problem.

This behavior has occurred on all 3 of my machines, all are Windows XP based.

It occurred more frequently on my single processor boxes than my dual processor box.

Thanks,

I am seeing the same issue with version i on 6 machines, only one keeps locking up/freezing - can't seem to find whats different on that machine than the rest. Still researching.

I've had 1.8i die on me once. I was in the middle of something and hadn't really been paying attention (my toons were all still on follow so I had no idea when it had happened) so I just restarted it and didn't give it a second thought. I post it here though for Rob's attention.

I blame murlocs (for everything basically).

Edit: It died again.

is there a version before 1.8g that's available for download still?

i believe you can get all of the separate downloads from SolidIce.com keyclones website.
Just look in the downloads section if not there then the developers comments or something like that. :thumbup:
ooo btw.....are you guys on wireless connections? Sounds like a similar problem I had and couldnt get the wireless firewall to let the keyclone to work. You might try launching the keyclones with ADMIN rights.

As I've mentioned in a couple of the other threads, I have the same problem and have PMd as much information about the problem as I can muster to Keyclone, but when last I heard (Sunday), he had been unable to reproduce the problem.

1.8G is available for download on the Solidice website.

i was investigating this 'issue' this weekend. crawling the code is one thing, play testing another...
i did a play test from 8pm to about 2am 5 boxing across 2 machines, one xp... one vista.
no disconnects at any time (although i did get wiped once in rfc... i was getting tired and my lowbie rogues need better gear)

i will continue to look for this issue, but it is difficult if i cannot reproduce.

Hi Rob,

I've had two more crashes (running on Windows XP 64). All my clients are now on the one machine. I'm sending the crash reports though I'm not sure if you're set up to receive them. I'm currently suffering horrendous network performance if that's likely to be a factor.

If there's anything I can do to help identify the problems, let me know.

@Maz
please be specific. was it a crash where the app executed an illegal operation.. or a hang, where it just stopped responding.

also, a dump will do no good, so don't bother sending it. thanks anyhow

I get a crash every now and then on i. It usually happens when i use mute... Sometimes it happens right away and some times has to be on mute for a little while. Using windows vista and the mute button is the default pause button. When i get the crash a windows window opens saying that program is not responding and needs to be closed. When i click "ok" keyclone closes, but my wow instances are still up but key are not passed (i know they are not passed because keyclone is not up). It only seems to happen as soon as i play (about 5-10 min into it) then i get the error. I close down my wows and rerun keyclone and don't have a problem.

I hope that this helps a little.
