ELECTUS ONLINE GAMESERVER CRASH ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED!!!!!!
[TLDR] at the top because you shouldn't waste time reading the bottom of this and log back into Electus already!
A single character out of 25,000 was in possession of an item(we all have one of them), that item developed a random bug exactly 48 hours after the 100Cap was released. Today, Pr0x! found the characters name!
When this char attempted to log in, its client crashed instantly every single time. At least 100 times over 7 days. When this char logged, the server didn't have any rules for the item
because this item cannot technically exist in the state it was in. This Forced the server into a restart routine, technically it didn't even fit the definition of a "Crash" because it came back online quickly, no errors in Pr0x's code [/TLDR]
Electus is ONLINE and Stable! And that char is online for the first time in 7 days, I checked.
After the server was started up early this morning, November the 12th, and without any notice, only about 300 people had logged in when the sudden server restart occurred(30mins.) Same as it had done 10-20 times a day for nearly 7 days. To our luck, that's a very small pool of players to examine as it was already assumed we had a bugged char amongst us.
I'm happy to announce, that out of the 2000+ characters that were on the server daily, for 2 months of 90 cap. (minus the bumpy start). A single character, from the total of around 25,000 created characters, developed a sudden, very random, bugged item in their inventory exactly 48 hours after the 10Degree Cap Raise was released.
This person had spent the last two weeks, everyday, attempting to login to Electus just like the rest of us. They were greeted with only a crashed client, and unknown to them, they were taking all of our clients with them. This forced the server to restart itself, it wasn't a typical crash because it was right back online in minutes. Until our Lucky Pal decided he wanted to try again. Then it's EVERYBODY FREEZE!
1 out of 25000 characters, but I'm happy to announce. At last, that Loyal Silkroad player has sent in a Ticket to the Website Ticket System about being unable to login at all this week.
BINGO! FIREWORKS ERUPT IN OUR BRAINS!!
and it's realized we have at last found the single char that
unknowingly shook the hell out of Electus for over a week. And right after a major update no less!!!
We all thought, well, it was perfect in 90 cap, it's gotta be something in the update. But after the server was stripped of every single feature,uniques, alchemy scrolls, skin changer scrolls,GodsendSkills, HWT,JobSuits, Maps, and even all the mobs in its universe, one after another in trial and error. Eventually there was nothing left to remove, and the restarts continued. How could that BE!
Welcome to Silkroad!
