The Almighty Crash Thread

[Rivean]

Is it it me or is the game down?

[Ceevu]

First!

It's down.

[WildGiller]

We finally put one too many wooden cups in the Lodge.
Server finally buckled under the stress. *nod*

[ThinkTwice]

It makes me happy that this thread was put up by Riv.

What I was thinking!

[WildGiller]

Ding!

[Rivean]

I was trapped, I tell you. They baited the path with cheesebuns.

Just curious, when the game supercrashes and stays down for more than a second, if you caused it, do you still get the

OMG! SOMETHING IN "<COMMAND YOU ENTERED>" BLEW UP THE GAME. STOP IT.

Or do those only show up on minor crashes? I always get worried when I'm in the middle of something and the game goes boom.

If you don't get the message, the game threw an unhandled exception and blew up. It can happen in major and minor crashes. It just depends on what error it was. Generally, major crashes are caused by corrupted data or some coder being naughty before they properly tested their changes. Corrupted data happens easily in DIKU because of how haphazardly coded it is.

PP also seems dead as a doornail.

[Holmes]

Back.

[WildGiller]

Have I told you that I love you yet, Holmes? If not, consider this my heartfelt admission of affection.

*wags brow* System-Admininstration really does it for me.

--- ATTENTION ---
Something in the last command you entered, 'quit', has crashed the MUD.
Although it may have been due to a random memory corruption, please try to use
this command as sparingly as possible after the recovery, just in case. A core
dump has been generated to assist debugging, and a coder will look into this
issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

I think the oddest one I've got was a message saying I crashed it by using 'scan'.

Also, game is down right?

[BoogtehWoog]

Tis for me, Mr. Rider!

[wilesly]

Invariably it crashes while my character is doing semi-dangerous things. Possible bug?

Bug? No, that's a feature!

[MrDvAnt]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Onasaki]

That's it, I'm dishing out the whippings.

Everyone get in line... myself included.

Dibs!

(Don't pretend you don't owe me this. )

[Rivean]

Don't you just hate it when there's a typo in the thread title?

*tries to fix it*

ETA: Ha! Now everybody but me has the typo

[WildGiller]

Did the game die or am I the broken one here?

[Snapdragon]

It froze. Makes me a sad panda
