Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Sechs]

Since the last patch I've been having random crashes.
Some just with a black screen and crash, others with a windows dll error with the Windower icon.
Could it be related to something that got changed? Or is it just my PC acting funky?

[Arcon]

Apparently we forgot to update the old resources (again).

Protip: Switch to findAll and GearSwap ;p

But I'll have it fixed in a few minutes.

[Darkmagi]

So wtf is causing this? Happened right after alexander, everyone has petfix loaded. All DD got runtime error on perfect defense.

All different people, not multiboxing.
edit: WHM crashed too, also I am multiboxing the BRD and have the same addons/plugins loaded as I do on Dramatica, but no crash. BRD died before PD hit him, so I'm assuming it's related to PD and not alexander specifically.
Also SMN did not crash, so I'm trying to figure out any plugin/addon differences.

Do I have to do something manually on my end for this? Eminent flute still not working for me.

What's the difference between find and findall? I mean to switch to gearswap eventually but I play so many jobs it's going to take a long time to switch everything over I think...

[Arcon]

You shouldn't have to do anything other than update (i.e. run the Windower launcher again).

The difference is that findAll, being an addon, uses our Lua resources, which are immediately updated on every FFXI update, so they're more likely to be up to date. It also has some additional features over find, it can search slips and other characters.

Have also had a run time error happen once since patch in a WKR with a smn present (although no idea if he PD'd to cause it, I can check logs later). Only happened on main, brd and whm chars weren't affected.

And get a better PC already.

This is the error I was talking about.
Happened 3 times in a row on Yumcax today.
My PC fault? Windower? Something else?

Make that 4 times.

[Sechs]

5...

[Zerowone]

The error doesn't occur on the Windower Dev build. I had it happen 3 times on the day of the update and switched over to Dev and haven't had it occur once.
Until it's fixed on the prod build, might suggest playing on the Dev build.

That is actually good. That error has existed even since v3 and we have not been able to get a dump of it. Two questions:
1) Are you on Windows 8?
2) Can you dump it for us?

[Sechs]

Windows 7, I need to be reminded how to create a log dump, done it only once ages ago, I don't remember what command to use to make it go into a txt file

Did Yumcax yesterday and it never happened btw.

[Zerowone]

I'm on W8.1, I can send you a log next time it occurs when I'm on production. Ben's been complaining about it too.

[Sechs]

Is this still ok to create dumps?

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah.

[Darkmagi]

I'm almost certain the error is related to the number of buffs on people btw, in relation to some addon or plugin. Also I do have a better pc KK I just keep a ton of windows open and use a shitty resolution on my mules.

[Ranth]

I'm also constantly getting this Runtime error as described above, as have a few people in my linkshell. Has happened twice so far tonight, happened 4 or so times the other evening.

[Warusha]

I have a question about dressup's functionality. Does it work with the in-game /lockstyle if you're using gear present in inventory? I'd like to be able to automatically look the same without typing the command in every time I zone.

Makes sense.
Today at Yumcax I had a plethora of buffs, the other day I was solo instead and had only my self buffs.
Would also explain why at start everything seems to be working, and after a while as buffs start to stack, the error pops.

Same for SCH the other day in delve. When I was solo everything was fine, when I jumped the main pt to give various buffs I also received BRD and COR buffs, and then I crashed.
Your hypothesys might as well be correct Darkmagi.

[Ranth]

I wonder what in this update could've caused it to become so incredibly frequent? I never had any runtime errors when I was overflowing with buffs before the June update.
