World hung, no comms

[John Adams]

Looks like our old friend the "I will not crash, but I also won't let anyone in" bug is back. Alfa reported the server hung, so I went to investigate. I see nothing in the console that appears at fault, but there are 5 clients (not really) and 1 zone (also not really) connected. I clicked the Pause button on VS2010, but not sure how revealing this stack will be:

Heads up, it appears no one can connect to EQ2TC anymore. I see a few connection attempts, and zero success. Same thing happens, AddAuth, then nothing.

I hate this bug as there is no real info on what is causing it. The stack is probably just where the server was when you hit pause, it is in combat so I can look over that code to see if something is wrong but doubt I will find anything with no info being reported to us from the server.

Just got this on my local server, when I hit pause I was at

Code: Select all

ThreadReturnType TCPConnectionLoop(void* tmp)

I was just standing afk in the zone when I came back I was in this situation, no clue what is going on.
