7 hours, as of when I left this morning, and it had not given that error. It took a whole 2 hours to get that error yesterday. It's not happening when I'm playing, only when I sit at the charecter select screen.

1 day, 7 hours later, with no decal loaded... still sitting at the charecter select screen.

Mind if I ask why you leave AC at the char select screen and don't just quit it altogether? It's not like it takes a particularly long time to log in, especially with ACDC.


If you leave AC as the foreground window with it at the character select screen, it'll run your CPU at 100%, which wastes electricity and generates heat. In fact, I'd recommend putting your computer in standby while you sleep unless you need it on to run a background task.


If you really want to figure out what's causing the problem, it's most likely a filter (plugins don't run at the character select screen). Try disabling filters until the problem starts happening. I'd start with 3rd part filters like Alinco, ACDC, and Darkside.

I guess I'm lazy.. I usually log out when I'm done for the night, and shut off the monitor. Then when I wake up, I'll log in, kill something I'm camped at or turn in chrozite or something, take my shower, then log in and do it again.


I have been having a ton of issues when swapping charecters as of late, so I will probably end up reformatting and starting clean in the next few weeks (this weekend and next are busy for me). I'm just trying to narrow it down now. My other pc, that this is happening on, only has alinco and castaway running on it, so I'll try disabling alinco and seeing if it crashes. I know I'm running an old version of alinco anyhow.

Well.. just a heads up. On my main pc, I disabled decal completely, and the client stayed up for 2 days. I uninstalled and re-installed the latest alinco and alinco filter, and so far, my client has been up for 8 hours without getting a memory failure. On my other pc, I only disabled alinco and alinco filter, and it's been up for about 2 1/2 days, running only castaway (was running alinco for the stacking features).

Probably the same memory leak that decal seems to have if your IG for long periods of time as well.
