Summary0001761: clients crash randomly since r1283
Descriptionit seems the r1283 introduced some major changes in networking that affects clients and make them crash randomly (I think it's related to the ticket id 0001756 that has been fixed since then)

the reported clients that crash are: 6.x 7.x with and without razor.

we tested every sphere version since r1283 and they all make the clients crash randomly.

it's hard to recreate the crash, we just run the binary on our online shard, send broadcast to everyone to start fighting at britain's bridge, and then lot of people start crashing, including the staff (gm's/counselors) you can crash less often by not moving at all.

After watching a lot of people moving around casting fighting each other, you walk, or teleport and the client might crash... I've could recreate it on an empty server making 3 people fight for a very long time, moving around and spawning a lot of npcs, and then "serv.allclients fix" made 1 person crash. it's very random as you see.

same issue with 80 people online
There is no lag at all, but when players start casting around me (with GM flag) if I walk, client crash.
Players also got random client crashes, tested with and without razor
We had to go back to previous version (before networking tweaks).

Can you check this with automated build #1296+? The fix for 0001756 has been moved to an experimental flag so that you can prove whether or not this is the cause of the crashes.
(0000498)
alex   
03-07-10 01:58   
can you tell me which experimental flag enables/disables the fix for 07156? I don't see a new EF_xxxx flag in .the ini
(0000499)
MrSugarCube   
03-07-10 02:03   
The current automated builds appears to be versions #1295 (Linux) and #1293 (Windows). The change you need is in #1296 so should be in tomorrow night's builds.

thanks, I'll wait then!!

Mirravin

And? Crashes disappear than EF flag is disabled?

alex

r1296 has been running fine on our shard without the EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts flag. It has been running for almost 2 days flawlessly!

then we enabled that flag, restarted sphere and everybody started crashing (including the staff) in less than 15 mins.

btw: there's a "ERROR:(sphere.ini,739)Undefined keyword 'TooltipCacheTime'" on startup on that release, do I open a new bug report for it?

You must replace 'TooltipCacheTime' with 'TooltipCache'

Below you can see SpyUO logs. 2 questions:
1) Why sphere is sending megacliloc to item 0x4006E061 AFTER it is removed?
2) Can you attach EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts to t_reagent only? May be crashes is not connected with reagent sending, but with other fix aspects?

Last time, anyone here has tried using EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts on living shards?

P.s. With test on local sphere(last build) I couldn't reproduse crashes.

Tested with build #1385 and with EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts enabled we have noticed a significant increase in client crashes

I believe that SpyUO crashes at the same time as the client (before it is able to log the final 'culprit' packet), so another tool may be needed to get a useful packet log (I think Razor is usually good at logging final packets before crashing?).

I don't expect that the crash will be directly related to t_reagent items or spell casting. The EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts fix was aimed more at the fact that 'cansee' returns 1 for items in other players' backpacks -- update packets for t_reagent items being sent to everyone onscreen when someone casts a spell is just one example of how the original issue would manifest itself.

Build # 1619.
With EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts enabled a lot of client crashes.
Without no one.
We have noticed that happens often when players cast spells.

This report is way too vague.
Closing.
If any crashes are reported, please do so with specific info related to that crash.
