Hunting in GY now, with 1 tradebot running, 4 healers, 1 imp'er, 1 fighter, 4 of the combat clients just crashed at the same time while 2 remained running. This was after prob 2 hours or so of run time.

Again, 24 gigs system RAM.

There's got to be a "magic" packet that AC/Decal simply doesn't like or can't handle properly.

Isn't Decal still technically a "beta" version seeing as how the decal devs never really got around to fixing the little glitches and the graphics hog thing? Remember them talking about Decal using an insane amount of video memory waaay back when TOD first came out and they released the new (current) version. Don't think they ever really got around to tweaking it.

Wrong post

My clients crash every day without fail. I too have the pleasure of working from home but see my client crash right in front of me. Sometimes after 1 hour, sometimes after 4... I have 12 GB of RAM on my machine and never reach that, not even close. The client has got to maybe 1.8 GB of RAM.

I have always had this issue. I have used probably 4 different machines over the years. all the same result... client crashing with decal running

Current machine is Windows 7 64bit

I do concur with others about combat vrs trade bot. my machine that has my tradebot does crash, but not nearly the same amount. It is running on an old laptop with 1gb of ram.

I run 4 clients or so at once, usually the leechers don't crash but the ones who kill do.

I crash every 2-3 hours... I can't STAND IT. It makes the whole point of Decal useless.

Sometimes I go all night,

when I do crash my screen just freezes up. Like it frame freezes.

Seems if I don't move the mouse, this sometimes doesn't happen. So I just turn on the monitor to see how it's doing and go back to bed. I can get back on and it's still working, and when I move the mouse it crashes.

Just an FYI, I changed my clients to not use Full screen, but Windows mode. Now all my crashes are all but gone.

Little more info on this.


I switched to using the vtank looter instead of Alinco and crashes have disappeared....so far.


Only plugins running are from the Virindi suite.


Two clients running on a laptop with 4G of memory. Both actively hunting. They have been up over 24 hours atm (I know, bad me....it's in the name of science)

Hopefully one day i can make myself learn how to use VTs looter. I will go recheck VTs wiki site. I rememeber before wishing there were more examples and explanations of what the example was showing.
