In your opinion, do you recommend updating the source for VS 2010 ~ 2012? Justify the answer, if possible.

Hey Lethal,

Can Party Finder cause Worldserver crashes? If yes, why?

This is a very good question. There are three major issues upgrading to vs2008+ will resolve. However, there are also various problems caused by upgrading. I'll list some of the pros and cons(in my opinion) to upgrading.

Pros:
- vs2003's debugger has significant issues with certain operating systems(namely Windows Vista and higher). These issues are very problematic if you're going to be using debugger continually(which you should be). The issue is fixed in vs2005 I believe.
- Most visual studio extensions don't support vs2003. There are many extensions that will greatly aid in rapid iteration of the development cycle. On top of this, there are many useful features that vs2003 lacks.
- vs2003's compiler(vc7.1) lacks support for many new C++03 and C++11 core features. This is a limitation, but not anything that can't be worked around.
- (preferential) I don't like working with vs2003. The interface is clunky and outdated compared to the modern appeal of vs2012.

Cons:
- Various issues can and will arise after upgrading to vs2005 and higher. Namely, Aeonsoft used a botched version of directx for flyff. You'll need to upgrade to the 9c SDK. There are also various issues such as vector functionality changes that occurred vs2003->vs2005. Misunderstanding of these issues can certainly lead to bugs.
- It takes time to make this update and can cause issues. Id say at least 20 hours development time(including debugging and issue resolving).
- If you're shipping with dynamic runtimes(which no current pserver does), you'll need to ship different dlls.

My recommendation: Upgrade to DirectX 9c before upgrading visual studio. Upgrading visual studio is preferential, while I believe upgrading DirectX is critical.

Any code in worldserver can cause a crash. You should open the minidump and stack trace to figure out what caused it.

Stop spamming this thread with shit like this. What did I say about beginner stuff? This isn't even a development/administration question. This is a question on how to type in a question in the google search bar on your browser...
