Runtime Error

[Kittra]

I find it hard to believe that it's a complete "programming" problem as not "everyone" is having this issue.

I've tried replicating the issue by uninstalling, reinstalling, updating windows, downloading the client online, using the DVD to install the game, installing the game on 7 different PCs (all with different configurations and hardware), installing different provided C++ runtime libraries provided by Microsoft, and I still cannot get this runtime error to show up. *sigh*


My only point with all of this is: Very few people seem to have this issue, SE doesn't seem to know what it is, and I can't replicate it at all for whatever reason.


*EDIT* I will just say that there are a couple bizarre things that happened in 1.0 that I eventually resolved in the most unbelievable ways...
First, I couldn't launch the game at all because it would give me an error (can't remember the code) and after days of messing with it, someone asked if I had an IR receiver on my PC and recommended that I uninstall it if I did... that worked and the game actually launched fine after that.

The next issue was my PC resetting every time I wanted to go to a certain area of the game. I did a system restore and the problem went away... and then it was back again the next morning.
It turns out, Windows was auto updating in the middle of the night with a bugged file that would cause the game to crash at that exact area for whatever reason. I rolled back again and turned off auto updates, I haven't had a problem since, and I will never allow Windows to update itself again (if it's working don't fix it Microsoft!).

Port to Limsa from Coerthas then port again using the atheryte, error happens 100% of the time for me that way.. Run around Limsa for a bit and teleport from the main atheryte to anywhere else I'm sure you'll get this error again.. Any highly congested area will cause this, whether it be farming FATEs, being near a large mass of people while running, or just zoning into a city with lots of people..

I've given up on my main storyline because I can't stand to be in Coerthas.. All I do is mine, fish, and craft; even then I still get these errors.. Weekends are especially bad for me, just being in North Thanalan can give me an error standing still or while mining and 2 FATEs spawn near each other, which happens often.. Think the fact that rendering every single NPC, PC, pets, mobs, and mounts just kills it for me.. My game will even stutter for second every time a FATE spawns in that zone, don't even need to be close to it..

I just tried everything you described. The worst it got was teleporting from Costa del Sol to Coerthas (took about 30 seconds to come out of the loading screen), Coerthas to Limsa was a breeze, and then taking the Aetheryte to anywhere else in the city, running back to it from the upper decks and doing it again, then running back and teleporting from a highly congested area back to Costa del Sol (which is over populated at this moment on Hyperion) and not one error.

I would love to be able to replicate this, because then I'd at least have an idea of what's going on. =\
