Dalanis

There is some kind of coding error in Dalanis. Everytime I go there I crash! And no its not just me, my guild can go to run DoD and most of them also crash upon arriving in Dalanis and again after leaving DoD and reentering Dalanis.
Its gotten to the point I just dread having to enter that city at all. You really need to do some work there, that place is like first stage beta!

From what I hear it's always been that way for most. I lag spike here and there but seldom crash but I do come close.
Just waiting for my 2 month old dusty Dias you owe me >|

That is why most players refer to Dalanis as Crashanis... :)

Advice is to exit game once you enter Dalanis to prevent crash. After restart of game, you will crash less.

BUT why should we HAVE to exit the game???!!!! that is more of a pain added to the crashing we get in dalanis...not to mention the falling thru the world either upon entering the 1st part of dod or into the instance itself!!!

i was told at 1 point to totally re install the game just because of the crashing i experience in dalanis...now to me...thats a bit extreme considering i'm not the only 1 that experiences this....there is a huge amount of people who are also experiencing the crashes...would be nice if they fixed this...but im not holding my breath

Reason is memory bug or resource bug in programming, that is extremely hard to fix/find.

Every time i enter Dalanis, I restart client and never had problems after that, with DoD or any zones after that. (all the way to TB)

If I don't restart client, usually it will crash before I reach snoop, and if not, than it will crash while snooping from Dalanis. Only other option I know of is to use transport rune and avoid Dalanis.

In your case, I would probably review video driver and lower your video settings.

Dalanis has issues. In certain spots in the city, new textures/geography is loaded, and that process seems to be memory intensive or buggy. As Romage said, restarting client usually avoids the problem, but that is not a solution, just avoidance.

That said, lately Dalanis is really good to me. I crashed only once in last 4-5 visits, and I have not reentered the game just to avoid the crash. Not sure if my experience is universal or not, but it seems like some Dalanis cleanup was done.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Dalanis loads quite a few textures when you enter it. I've seen RoM memory usage shoot from under 1gb to 1.3/4 gb. My RoM client crashes at 1.5 gb, which I can possibly hit just crossing dalanis. Yes, I crash less often now since there aren't tons of players who hang out in dalanis anymore. All their textures from costumes etc, cause problems also.
