Wyrmband

Post by Hades » Tue 25.05.2010, 00:21

I renamed my server Wyrmband in honor of Powerwyrm for his incredible variant. I hope you can all enjoy his server which will be up 24/7 (Unless in case of power outages and such.) But sadly, yesterday my AMD 965 Black Edition x4 3.4 ghz processor died... May it RIP <3. I am in the process of going through the warranty service which we all know is annoying and takes a pretty long time. So expect it to be down for another week or so. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Apparently my CPU got a broken pin. I talked to AMD and they agreed to warranty my CPU, I am mailing it in today and will take 2 business days, and another 2-3 business days to get my replacement. So the server hopefully will be up and running again sometime next week. =) Got to love AMD, this is why I stick with them. Awesome customer service... Intel would never do this ;).

Server was taken down due to a serious computer crashing issue. I thought it was my Video card, but with further testing one of my RAM chips is defective, took it out and is working fine now. Sorry about that everyone.

Yesterday my client was crashing as soon as I got a dead character on the character list. Instead of having:
a) Character 1 alive
b) Character 2 alive
c) Chracter 3 dead (expires in 7 days)
I had:
a) Character 1 alive
b) Character 2 alive
c) <garbled text> (expires in -1 days)
When launching the client in debug mode, I had 3 characters loading, but only 2 on the list, so the client was accessing uninitialized memory.
This never happened before...
Today, when trying to connect to the server, the world was completely reset (layout, arts, uniques...). And the problem was gone... very strange. Something was corrupted on the server?

About a week ago I lost power to my house. Went to turn on the server and the server savefile was corrupted. I had to delete it and let the server make a new one.

Alright...
Build 4 should be out today... just need to fix a stupid bug I found while testing. No reset will be needed, just a normal update.
