Broken death chain on CTD

[TaskForce58]

Crashed earlier due to a Balor spell, immediately causing a ctd fault that wanted me to Debug...apparently broke the death chain, logged back in to fugue, and was raised by Terri and company, where i got to look at my own corpse. I ran around a couple hours after that and thought nothing of it untill I logged out to go grill some burgers. Came back on 3 hours later to shaundakul telling me i had unfinished business with Myrkul lol.

2000xp hit.

Ive ctd'd 3 other times this night...1 as mariko and 2x as uthar....nwn2main and im prompted for debug mode. I sometimes get ctd's on launch but not usually in game, so im looking for driver issues or something.

Do you use the client extension?

I know that's been said to help some users with crashes, if not.

[TaskForce58]

Never really had a problem till the last couple days, the ctds were almost always on startup. Never CTD'd at all with win xp/7. Im gonna do a video/audio driver update tonight if windows 10 lets me

When do you find you're crashing? By that I mean, is it random or does it seem to happen mostly on transitions?

[TaskForce58]

lately its been on spell casting...the broken death chain and free trip to the fugue was literally as a Balor cast something that killed me. Other recent crashes have been for more mundane spells...buffs, etc. Never my own, but always soemone else's. And ive also witnessed a couple others crash out at the same time. A certain drow's teleport north of FAI last night dropped me and one other in fact as we were inadvertantly pulled along into her teleport.

Is it always on one character that you're crashing? Or is it across multiple PCs?

It may be worth testing to see if your .bic isn't corrupted or broken somehow.

well i almost always play mariko..and ive RcRd about 3 times this last 2 weeks due some screw up or another...this mariko is about 36 hours old. I also ctd'd with my Uthar character last night..he was involved in the teleport crash i posted about earlier. So its across both my characters.

wish there was a way to remove the death chain from a character...happened again during last nights phoenix company event...only lost 171 xp this time since i just levelled which is better than the lost 2000xp last time...but a death then ctd due to spells is a free fugue hit after reset.

I died several times like that last night, as did a half dozen others of us so im wondering if im gonna take the fugue hit multiple times or just once. Is there a DM function that can remove that broken chain? I understand the intended function of it is to prevent those that like to log of after they die from escaping the xp hit, but when its a legitimate CTD and your rezzed , especially in a DM event, you shouldnt be punished for it imho.

TLDR read the yellow stuff lol

This is what happened to me in my thread about Leo just for clarification

[TaskForce58]

So fast forward 4 weeks and a couple days later. Got smacked down to a necromancer induced death spell during DM Lobo's event...was rezzed by maria, reported the bug...DM Echo killed and rezzed me on the spot hoping to fix it...after comically killing maria by mistake (worth the laughs).Played a few hours after that till server went poof. Logged in to get a free trip to the fugue. Luckily DM Creo was on...mitigating the issue.

One strange point ho..upon taking my trip to the fugue Myrkul asks where i want to go...i tell him FAI...he docks me the xp but doesnt actually send me...I re initiate convo, he then says "hmm there seems to be a mistake..you are alive....then sends me to BG east.

Later on i happened to get overrun by a pack of Cave trolls someone conveniently massed in one corner of the cave, who apparently didnt care for my shiny parry skill of 42 and proceeded to bludgeon me to death with a bunch of 20 crits anyway....off to the fugue i go..same deal with myrkul. Asks where i want to go i tell him FAI, he docks me and i sit there...talk again ...off to BG east...

*shrugs*

Did you recently upgrade to windows 10?

Yes that happens for me also lately.
Especially annoying is that you always spawn at farmlands then.

windows 10 I was one of the early ones....its been fairly stable for half a year or so once i unscrewed driver issues and purged a bunch of useless option....I cant use edge as its a buggy mess, so using chrome, etc. As far as nwn i typically will get a crash on game launch exactly ONCE if i was currently in game and server goes down...it happens on the direect connect, after that it works fine. These CTD are most definately driver related somewhere..but I know im not the only one that gets em, as usually there are multiple crashers in party on certain transitions, portals, and spells.

On another note about windows 10. It can and DOES delete files from your computer from time to time ...or has in the past. I run cracked copies of certain games in order to protect the disks, especially older titles from siera, SSI, etc. Windows claims it only will remove outdated windows stuff, but 3 times this last year ive had game .exe's deleted. All in all its still an ok operating system, at least as good as 7 was, Ijust cant stand the invasiveness of it, and the we know better than you aspect.

Donno if it's drivers..
Sounds like broken resource files.

Reinstall probably fix it completely.
