1.8.4 Census bug

Archrival · Post by **Archrival** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 6:21 pm

Hey

I play on EU-hellscream, Sinse today the Add-on Census seems to develop a bug. It has prevented me from logging on, freezing at load-up and I have to ctrl+alt+del out of the game.

The problem occurs on all my characters and on the 2 other realms I play on.
I have a screenshot of the error message I some times get.

Things I've noticed that may be the cause, When I've had Windows media playing the Game freezes everytime when trying to load Census. But When ever I close media player the game loads but I seem to get that error message everytime. I open a trade window or character sheet or do a /who command. - I don't know if its just a coincodence that happens with media player or not.

Problem solving messaures already tried.

1. Disabled all other Mods - Problem still occurs.
2. Deleted WTF etc folders - Problem still occurs.
3. Reinstalled the game via removing the file patch.mpq - problem still occurs.
4. Downloading Census add-on from the link on this page - problem still occurs.

I have asked two other guild mates to try they've also reported the same problem.

here is the link to the picture.

This is a known outstanding issue that I will be working on, but this is the first I have heard that it causes actual freeze issues.

I wasn't sure at first if it was census or not, sinse I've turned census add-on off. I have no problems loading into the game either with media player working or not. Soon as I turn it on I have problem. So i hope it helps, I do have fraps and I am trying to record what happens before the game freezzes, so you can see your self.

All's good on my end. This has been a recurring issue but this is the first time I hear that it freezes the computer.
