Shard Crash - RunUO

Tanya1965 · 04-17-2006, 05:39 AM

Hello

Tonight a friend pointed out they could crash the shard I saved and asked them to do it so I could see what happend, as with almost 99.9% uptime and running a year, its not been managed by a player (gm accidents only).

So thinking it was not possible I did the save then boom she crashed it.

This is the Crash Log, and does anyone please have a fix for me?

I think it has something to do with auto account, but I am not sure at all.

I will not put what she did for obvious reasons and to safe guard other shards.

It's not really obvious to me why you would not "put what she did."

If you need to locate the problem, load the server in debug mode and crash it again.

Interesting. I don't imagine she would be interested in telling us how to recreate this bug?

It's a bug in the core that has already been posted in Core Mod forum.

I expect it to be fixed in the next RunUO release, but if you need a fix now (which I'd expect you would), you'd need to alter the core code and compile it to fix it.

Thank you

all done and went in a treat and no core mod needed afterall, I read all the core threads.

While reading it also stated not a good idea to place the code I did place *points up* up there so I have taken them out.

Thank's for everyones help.
