Stop error on //unloadall

[Athas]

Occasionally when I //unloadall just before /shutdown I'll get a stop error STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) and my video card stops working. I have the newest drivers and such so I'm wondering if this is a known problem with the windower.

Yes, it's a known issue, and it's exactly what you've described (leads to a BSOD). Try unloading the drivers one by one manually, then exit.

Shit sucks, and the windower team refuses to fix it, it's been an issue for a few versions that came out years ago.
They tell you to use terminate, or shut the hell up. I really dont think that have any intention of fixing it, and youll have to deal with using terminate, and have your moghouse and inventory all messed up when you log back in, but first you have to click an extra 5 times to even get into POL.

Try shutdown without unloadall? That's what I do.

[Kohan]

Yeah, you should be able to not use unloadall and get around it. Some people have the issue regardless, though. Varies.

[SephYuyX]

Shutdown can still cause the issue.

[Athas]

Never had this problem on my old computer so I thought it my be the new card but... damn that's lame.

[Kohan]

Shutdown can still cause the issue.

Was "some people still have the issue regardless" not clear enough? I didn't know it needed more emphasis.

[SephYuyX]

It did.

[Kohan]

Well I'll be damned.

Happens 95%+ of the time when I dual window on the same PC, never seen it otherwise. If it is a really bad issue for you, just take the time to write a script to close each plugin individually with a .2 wait between each or something like that.

[SephYuyX]

Tried that myself awhile ago, doesnt work.
All the plugins that write text to the screen all have a random chance to crash when unloading.
