Cannot Reproduce Blackthorn Dungeon

[Noah]

Dexter, no the fairies were still not there. When I log back in they were dead, and I was able to actually get back to my corpse which was bones.

Hello,

Just experienced this again. Light house using UOS built-in macro for lightning plus having cu sidhe attack.
I had a second client open at the time that was not disrupted. At this time, my character/account that experienced the issue cannot be logged in to without a client crash (unplayable). Hope we're able to find the cause to this!

 

[Noah]

I was told if I replicated it and made it happen, and reported exactly what happened that They could look into it more. And that there was a huge SOV reward for it...

 

[Dexter]

Common denominator: UOSteam lightning macro. Fix: Don't use it!

 

[Noah]

I dont use a UOsteam lightning macro. Its a UO macro....

 

[Dan]

I would be okay with toning down the visual destroying of the Lighthouse, if it prevents this crash.

 

[Ni'kard]

While we are on the topic, when the lighthouse is demolished its supposed to have a chance to drop minax arties itself, Ive done MANY of them and never gotten one from it.

 

[Periphery209]

Can we remove the visual for now to see if the issue ceases?

 

[Dexter]

The visual is the standard bolt effect packet used in lightning, chain lightning, etc.

 

[Dan]

I think it's the lighthouse changing stages while certain animations are going on that is doing it.

 

[Dexter]

If that were it, it would happen every time. Its only happneing when others are using this UO Steam macro. I've said it 50 times, UO Steam sucks and is not supported anymore. So, any packet changes could cause client issues.

 

[Noah]

And I have said it 50 times... I DO NOT USE LIGHTNING AS A UOSTEAM MACRO........

 

[Dan]

but do you use UOSteam?

 

[Johan]

So i have fully tested this as of now i have found that casting lightning on it as the lighthouse breaks to the next cycle is what causes this, have had it happen on Razor and Steam now, while not using any uosteam or razor macro it is done by simply casting lightning on it as the lighthouse changes forms, seems not to be a uosteam issue to me, I am able to consistently repeat this. Will also add that i have to have someone else log into my account and move it from the town before i can even access my character again, quite frustrating.

 

[Dexter]

So, after the lighthouse changes forms (Ie, more damaged appearance), it does this?

 

[Johan]

so on re testing about 3 times its as i lightning and its the shot from death is when it does this, the lightning doesnt fully go through and crashes everything

 

[Dexter]

What does "shot from death" mean?

 

[Johan]

sorry i mean "kill shot" as i cast the kill shot and target it, cast doesnt fully go through and crashes

 

[Dexter]

Kill shot when the lighthouse is destroyed or changes appearance?

 

[Johan]

destroyed
