Client Crashing today?
I'm having a bit of an issue. Wondering if anyone else is/has experienced it.
I logged in, started questing and everything was fine. Suddenly the window just closes. So I close everything else down and start back up. It gets to the Char select screen, shows no chars but says I have 0/8 slots available. Eventually it says "Waiting on Servers" at the bottom then once again promptly closes. I try loading VG with NOTHING else running and same thing.

Says the server is up.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Xio

Re: Client Crashing today?
Didn't VG used to shut down every night at 5am or something?
I noticed the VGClient.exe patched last night for me (2/3/2014 @ 8:15pm) but worked for me all night til this morning. As of this morning mine also shows 0/8 and Waiting for response from World Servers...
I'm even trying different source IPs. Tried all my accounts, including ones I never collected on, so it's not a blacklist scenario that I can tell. Perhaps they are updating stuff to fix the chunk crashes. Let's try again in a few hours, before I panic

Re: Client Crashing today?
Well, the good news is I'm not alone. I was hoping to work hard today since I have nothing else to do (yay for snow days!).
I will try every 30 minutes or so!

Re: Client Crashing today?
PS: I seem to be so overly paranoid about being blacklisted, in case you didn't notice... comes from us being banned almost instantly while collecting for EQ2Emulator for years hehe. Xinux did a great job solving that for us, but the horrors of losing my valuable junk accounts stays with me
Re: Client Crashing today?
Nah, it's fine! I get it. I am hoping that they are bored enough with Vanguard they won't even care - or try to stop it.
EQ2 is still live and probably will be for awhile. So I can understand them trying to prevent losing money from people who would have another option.
Anyhow, the server status now says, "Live Admin"

[quote="XionnaeVG"]Anyhow, the server status now says, "Live Admin"[/quote]
Interesting, perhaps this is just the nightly shutdown or some fix to the crashing chunks.
btw, my toons are all present now.

Re: Client Crashing today?
I do not remember any nightly shutdowns, but they have been having issues with their most recent "fix", and lots of chunks were crashing bad. Probably related to that.

Re: Client Crashing today?
I remember back in 2007, I think the world servers went offline every morning at 5am PST or something like that. Unless I am thinking of another game (EVE?)
Re: Client Crashing today?
No, they restart the server every day at 5 AM
Actually found this out while trying to figure out why this was happening.
