:lol: Do you think I got a crystal ball somewhere here? It is already hard enough to investigate the cause of a crash if it happens on my own system in front of my eyes. With the information you gave me (none at all...), I have no chance whatsoever to find out what the cause of your crashes is. I would at least need detailed information about where and when the crash happened, what you did before it came, and what exactly makes you think it was a crash (error messages, unexpected behaviour, ...).

Now, the number one cause for "crashes" (they are not actually crashes but often perceived as such) are networking issues. The Uru networking protocol is a mess, and if you connection has a small hick-up, it can quickly lead to a disconnect from the server.

Last not least: You are not the only one playing on the Shard. So, please post bug- and crash-reports in public, in the Deep Island forum, so that we know if you alone have the issue or if it's a common one.

Kind regards,
diafero


It turns out one of the crashes was caused by an Internet error, but DI crashes every single time I try to link to Neolbah from Shell 415 on Ahra Pahts (the left book on the crate). Interestingly, Shell 415 isn't mentioned at the Age website on UamWiki, that is http://dusty.homeunix.net/wiki/UAM/Ages/AhraPahts. Is this because it was added recently, it doesn't have a walkthrough yet, or none of the above :lol:?

I have no problem on my own linking to Neolbah from Ahra Pahts on Deep Island. I just checked.

Thanks for posting this, nathan! Did you try linking to Neolbah from Nexus, to be sure that it's not the age of Neolbah, but the specific link from Ahra Pahts that triggers the issue? You could try removing the files starting with "Neolbah" in your dat folder, in order to cleanly download the age again.

Actually, I'm running Drizzle for the very first time as I type this! I was using the book in DI, not a Drizzled URU.
I'll try that later.

Drizzle? Where did I mention Drizzle? You should not use Drizzle to get fan-ages on DI!

I'm using Drizzle on a personal single-player URU. No DI.

Oh sorry, maybe it is my fault but as in your first post, you said : "Twice today DI crashed while I was exploring Ages.", I did not think you were using the offline KI... :(

Sorry, I'm excited to get Drizzle up and running! :lol: Anyway, I made a non-crashed link offline, so maybe it's DI (I was doing Bahro tests most of today with the Offline KI :lol: ). I'll check tomorrow.

Yes, it was added recently so it wasn't on the walkthrough yet, but it's up now! And the link works fine for me on the UAM shard, but the UAM shard and the DI shard have different patching systems, so the python will be different between the two of them.
