Zoning locks up with Fetish sometimes...

skyrocket · #1 04-14-2005, 05:30 PM

I looked for this and did not find anything. For the Past 4 nights this has happened atleast once everynite. I am using Nightfall Fetish program. When I zone during raiding from place to place my screen goes thru everthing and then says "adding character to zone" then says "loading UI interface" and my screens stayes black with that loading ui interface up, but nothing happens. I can hear my other raid members in the zone and all i can do is click the exit button that is up which takes me to windows screen. Is there anything i can do so this doesnt happen? I get worried everytime i zone with this fetish program now.

thanks

Only happens while in a raid?

First I've heard of this so I'm guessing its something about your install.

hmm i did install i believe right... However yeah havent noticed it locking up when i am solo, but to be honest i dont zone to different places alot unless i am raiding. I will try zoning alot solo to see if it happens there too.

I was just curious if others were having same problems but guess not. Thanks and i will keep ya posted on if it continues to happen.

Thanks...

It does happen rather often to me and my husband while playing that if one of us zones, it knocks the modem offline and it has to be reset. I don't know if this helps or not, but I thought I'd throw it in there.

Still does it. Did it last night when i was solo. It loads everything then says adding character to screen..then i can see my character for a split second. then goes black while all chat boxes are still up and the loading UI interface bar is up but nothing happens.

Anyway I just downloaded newest version and will give that a try hopefully that will fix it by reloading it all.

This happened to me a few times last night raiding as well. Mind you I was minimizing the game often playing Guild Wars

. Zoning is always tricky when the game is minimized or maximized during the process. I figured that was my issue, but if more are having trouble zoning often this could mean a real bug is happening.

Well since someone else is experiencing it I guess I'll post something about it as well. I can reproduce this effect without failure simply by playing in windowed mode and opening up Internet Explorer. If the viewable window is not EQII then my UI (your UI

will freeze at Loading UI Resources. In other words if I'm looking around online at anything then I will come back to a black screen.

As far as raiding correlary goes... it could be that everyone else is simply looking online for raid target information while zoning (it does pass the time).

I've also tried redoing the install but to no avail. On top of that I do believe that it happens in any custom UI I have installed. So I don't even think it's UI specific to Zonx's.

If anyone finds anything on this pass the word along

Ah ok that does sound kinda like what I've been seeing as a general EQ issue. Seams like the client and patcher connections can get confused if other stuff is accessing the net at the same time. I often see the patcher hang if I have IE open to a page that auto-refreshes.

Could very well be the same probelm with zoning. Prbly best to avoid zoning while surfing.

Also, IE is a pig and EQ2 isn't exactly light-weight, so running IE and EQ2 at the same time is gonna tax alot of whimpier machines.

k will keep that in mind. Lastnite raided in 3 different zones and seems to of worked ok. Although i did not touch a button when zoning. Someone said if u try to open something or move mouse u have a chance to lock up. So i didnt touch a thing. LOL

does fetish include any chat while zoning code? i've noticed this problem when using any of those mods.. it's not an every time thing, but does happen frequently enough that i had to log out several times a night to get through a zone, and this was without being tabbed out, without ie, or any other web browsers/apps running along with eq2.. i just started deleting the hud_zoning file any time i found it in a skin.. cleared the problem up immediately. (one plus of that particular bug.. you could still type in the chatboxes while it was locked.. (the UI was still visible, as it was supposed to be, it just never finished loading the world, as it was stuck on the loading UI section) soo.. you could click in the chatbox, and type /camp and then log back in and be where you wanted to be..
