** Update **
The issue has been found and fixed. There may still be other crashes out there so keep an eye out. But right now it appears to be stable. Thank you to the players who sent me informations on how to reproduce the previous crash.

The patch brought a new crash that is unfortunatly very hard to track down. I am currently working on it but knowing the cause would go a long way into fixing it fast.

If any player think its crashing on a specific action they are doing, please head on livetest.starsonata.com port 3030 and do the action here. Both servers are running on the same code currently, if you do crash livetest with the same action, please send me a forum pm detailing the action so that i can reproduce and fix it quickly (pm Jey).

Offcourse im hoping to find the source of the issue using the crash data, but its one of those weird crash that can take an unknown amount of time to track down without something to narrow down on.

About Jey123456

As most people know, I am Jey123456, the french Canadian who like to hide in the snow and read memory dumps from both client and server crashes. I mostly handle behind the scene work, fixing crashes, improving performances and fixing other programmers stuff when needed. I also make sure the code remain maintainable and as properly structured as can be. Ensure the server hardware stay secure, running as smoothly as possible and that we have proper backups running as well as contingency plans if everything were to explode tomorrow. The closest thing to something player can see that i have been directly doing is applying patches and sometimes helping on bug tickets.
