- added option 2 (new debug from Bg_DrEaM)
This guide is made to help people who have a bugged character
Bugged character = dc upon logging in (??? error or windows giving error upon logging in)
*** ATTENTION ***
a/ This guide does NOT WORK on characters how are stuck at the hotan guild storage
Code: Select all
b/ Nor does it work for chars who got under the map
c/ Lately Hotan in Eldorado is buggy -> So before trying this, wait an hour or so.

The stall network was bugged when you try to force it to load, now it just buggs without nothing...
The grinding spots where 2-3 and more ppl get DC-ed in the same time...
Really, what is going on?
Yesthirday my union was making trade and 3 of the hunters DC-ed and 3 hours later they still couldn't login.....
1/ DO NOT PANIC!!!
2/ Check if your character is really bugged
-> If u got ??? error and log in immediately again, there is a high chance of getting ??? error again upon logging in. So REBOOT COMPUTER
-> still error?
a/ Check WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER, if that one does not crash -> only 1 char bugged
b/ If the other(all) char(s) crashes too -> reinstall sro; ur client is bugged
So 1 char is bugged... -> choose option 1 or 2 and follow the steps
OPTION 1:
3/ Logging in the bugged char:
a/ If u have premium, not a problem
b/ If u don't have premium; Do not waste time trying to log in; WAIT for POPULATED servers (people from Babel are pretty screwed)
4/ Log in -> select char -> start
-> U only have about 1 second (or less) to look at ur char -> WATCH WHICH WAY IT IS LOOKING & KNOW EXACTLY WHERE U NEED TO WALK TO!
If u didn't see it, keep logging in until u know.
5/ Now comes the hard part; getting away from the spot.
a/ u know how/where the char is standing
b/ prepare for some fast clicking / ramming buttons
-> log in -> select char -> start
-> When the loading screen starts immediately start clicking on the spot u want the character to go to. If ur character is facing the right way, press ur UP key TOO.
It's no use pressing the key if ur char is facing a wall and u press forwards (read /4)
6/ How many times?
a/ Your character will not be unbugged in 1 try (unless ur extreme, extreme lucky)
b/ Keep trying, every time u click your char moves a little bit
c/ Eventually your character will not crash anymore (or not immediately upon logging in)
OPTION 2: (not confirmed yet)
Bg_DrEaM wrote:Another way to unbug your char ( heard about it yesthirday) idk, but it works, maybe not on the 1st try but on the 2nd or third. It's tested.
Login to OTHER server, create a char there and login. Your char should be fine after 2-3 loggings.
Also - DON'T CALL A FRIEND TO HELP YOU!!! Most likely you will get him bugged too.
7/ Finish the job
-> Once u are away from the spot, IT IS NOT OVER YET
-> Go to town
a/ use a return scroll (immediate return scroll is preferred)
b/ Die from monster
c/ Let someone murder you
d/ Die from high lvl npc thiefs/hunters (earth nukes or lightning bows)
-> once u are in town your character IS unbugged
-> move it to a not so crowded spot
-> log off & log back in
8/ Enjoy sro again
9/ No Succes?
-> Send a bugreport to joymax
-> In the meanwhile: keep trying
-> Logging in many times, gets noticed somewhere at jm (someone got banned for re-creating pt all day long); maybe they will help u sooner if they notice "weird" behavior
10/ Why write this?
This guide is made by me, after having a bugged char myself. (which I got unbugged)
2 weeks after, I had to unbug my friend's char too (unbugged now)
Today another friend got a bugged char...
And i know many other people have similar issues too
A map with bugged locations will follow
