/zone issue

[jakalecax]

Hello

Using /zone command to cross between zones recently (since last patch and character/inventory wipe) takes players to a black screen (text says 'Transferring to Zone Server') then either crashes client totally, or throws one back to login screen.

Seems repeatable (doesn't matter which zone xfer exactly), but is unpredictable whether or not it kicks to login or freezes/crashes the Client.

O/S is Win Vista Home Premium, Client is DoV patched up. Server rev is ofc- 0.7.2-dev

Hoping this helps, thanks for reading!

I have not run into this issue but I have not been using DoV client recently I will do some tests on that client later tonight to see if I can figure out what is going wrong.

Thanks for the report.

Have tried the past several nights to reproduce this error on my server with a 1096 client (DoV patched). I randomly zoned rather fast between zones with spawns, at one point I had 25 zones up and running but never had this issue so I will need more info. Is this this your own private server? If not which server were you on? If it is your own server do you get any messages in the console that stand out?

Also would be helpful to know what 2 zones you were transferring between, in case there's a bad pak file somewhere.

One character (Ceum) attempted to /zone from 253 (queenscolony, where i successfully had logged into the world) to timorousdeep a couple times, then chose a random zone i think /zone 200, then timorous again.

Interestingly, successfully logged same character in tonight, and he was in zone Timorous Deep, so may not be a bug, instead may just have been a network or PC issue on my end; packet loss, de-sync, angry gaming deities... whatever.
