STill having Problems with Client

[Phat_Lewtz]

Hey Gang /wave

Well I dont Get it : )

I have 8 different machines that i play EQ on and only 1 reliably displays MYSEQ ?

My main problem is an overflow error that gives me a big red X

Except if i fire it up in POK then it work go figure : )

I have a server on a winxp machine and another winxp works fine fwith it and a 98 works fine with it

But all other servers are on 98 and are just buggy

pERHAPS ITS THE SERVER SIDE THATS FOOKED 4 ME OOPS
caps loc sorry to lazy to fix : )

Can anyone shed some light : )

Edit : )

Well myseq works in bazaar and pok But no where else this work machine is 98 server and winxp client : )

end edit

Upgraded my win98 machine to winxp
change nothing else just ran the xp disc and

BANG works fine everytime

So for my prob was the server needs to be on winxp

cos the client works fine altho the client crashing makes you think other wise


Good luck all

[doo]

i take it that it will not work at all the with winME then? i know i can't get it to without the big red X anyway. hate to have to upgrade to XP just to run this. lol

I have been looking into this.

If you run the server component on a win 98 machine it often sends invalid packets, eg x, y or z set to Extreemly large floating point values, or a heading way outside the valid range.

- Especially when zoning... (push stop on client before zoning helps this)

I have been trying to add some santity checks to the packets before they get sent by the server, but you equally add try catches to all the drawing routines in the client.
