I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years :). Happy New Years to everyone here at rage.
As my topic says, I was wondering on how to fix this 2 billion EXP DC error. I know many of the releases made on rage say that their server has the fix (such as JayMoko and Harsaphes server releases). I have been searching for it, but I have had no luck. So if someone can post where to find, I would greatly appreciate it :). Thank you in advance for your help.

BP in the DC4 routine. Check the offset that is calling it and NOP it.
The simplest way.

2 Billion EXP on Server. Not client

Nobody said it was anything to do with client.

DC4 breakpoint, client sided.

Re: Fixing 2 billion Exp Error
Oh I see!
I've never seen DC4 occur. I've only seen clients and servers which claim to have DC4 fixed. :s
I get "Disconnected from server" messages, (usually when I suspend one or the other executable, or if I disconnect the TCP/IP connection) but never "DC4".
I've managed to get disconnected from the server by getting too much Exp too, but it certainly wasn't 2 billion Exp. I set Hoppies to give 16777214 Exp (the most you can store in 32 bits without negative or overflow) and 1 hit point with 0 def and 0 abs, I can kill several hundred before I am disconnected... there is no message to explain why I am disconnected.
If I kill only 200 and go back to town, all is good. That's 3,355,442,800 Exp in a matter of minuets. (That's only 3.3 million though. 1 Billion is a million, million or 1,000,000,000,000...
Spoiler:
100 = 1 hundred
1,000 = 1 thousand
100,000 = 1 hundred thousand
1,000,000 = 1 million (or one thousand thousand)
100,000,000 = 1 hundred million
1,000,000,000 = 1 thousand million
100,000,000,000 = 1 hundred thousand million
1,000,000,000,000 = 1 billion (or one million million)
I understand U.S. English counts differently. (and British standards are often changing to fit American rules) But this is how I was taught to count in school.
the most Exp you can *EVER* have is 4,294,967,294 or 4.3 thousand million. DC4 should be the least of your worries if you get 2 billion Exp. XD)
Is the disconnect caused in SQL.dll?

Re: Fixing 2 billion Exp Error
Sorry I have been away a bit, so did not get a chance to check the updates here ^^. However, I am a bit confused by the responses.
Whenever there is a release of a server made, everyone claims that "2 bill error fixed." That is a trend that I have seen with every single server.exe released post Shagpubs original Kpt Et2 release. So what 2 billion error is that exactly dealing with?
