[Ascent] Sudden Ascent.exe crash

[DarkJade]

I have had my server up and running for 2 months and all of a sudden during the night last night after a restart i get this when i try and startup ascent.exe

I didn't change anything. I tried uploading a new DB, i tried doing a system restore; nothing has worked.. i really don't know where this came from. Any help would be appreciated.

Which version is it? Because I know one of the versions gave me the problem of whenever I would start it up, it would go non-respondent. Anyways, Try a stable verision of Ascent or a different one and see if it works. Sorry is I did not help.

I was using acsent 1702. It was working fine, and i have also tried different ones. I don't know what to do now.

[Kiteal]

Hm..Do you still have everything setup correctly after doing system restore? It is not the Database that would cause this, I think. And if you tested others, make sure you still have it configured right.

Yeah i have a copy of working config files saved and just copy and paste them when i reinstall a different version of ascent.

[Kiteal]

Hm..You are using Windows XP right? I have not worked with one in a while, but does the ascent freeze at the same point every time? In the screen shot you provided, the ascent.exe froze at-

11:32 N Storage: 22 Entried loaded from table zoneguards

Does this happen every time you try at the same place?

One more thing, Have you tried changing your DBC files? I do not know if it has anything to do with it, because I am still not very good at this stuff. And have you tried using a repack of some sort that is mostly setup on its own, and try to access it yourself with a basic DB and most of the things left normal as they are to try and figure out what the problem is by slowly fitting pieces into the puzzle till it works again?

-Kiteal.

Good luck.

It does freeze at the same spot every time.

Not sure exactly what else I can change to try to fit pieces back together...

[DarkJade]

I changed some things in my ascent folder and now the error happens at a different point...

Hm..What did you change? If you do remember.

I just changed what it logs. Like when it logs all the GM commands that are used.

i have that problem too..
didnt touch anything.. =(

is there anything to fix it? im using version 2181.. with the newest NCDB and DBC

[DarkJade]

Well we figured out the problem. There was an error on the logonserver db, more specifically the characters. All we had to do was repair the DB and it works :D

The characters table in our logonserver database, you can have one database for your characters and accounts and another database for everything else, had this error, "Table 'characters' was marked as crashed and should be repaired". You can fix this by using this SQL query code,

REPAIR TABLE logonserver.characters;

Replace logonserver with which database and characters with which table is needs to be fixed.
That's how I managed to fix DarkJade's server.
