Psobb.exe encounered an error (frequent)

[Carsomyr]

Guildcard: N/A

Character N/A

Date/Time: N/A

Description: Psobb.exe encountered an error and needs to close is happening frequently.

Comments: I am Unsure if it is a PSO, latest Firefox update, or win10 Anniversary update issue. (Or if there is a conflict between 2 of them)

Notes: Event Viewer shows "C:\Ultima PSOBB\PsoBB.exe" to be the faulting application and module path in some of the Application Error logs(1000), But in the rest "C:\Ultima PSOBB\PsoBB.exe" is the application path and "C:\Windows\System32\USER32.dll" is the module path.

EDIT: And this is not the same as before either when I posted about the game crashing if i run firefox, sometimes when I refresh the forum (or other webpages, but not conistently EVERY time) it crashes. Something is really wonky

I heard of Firefox causing problems lately.
I can not test it since I use Chrome, you could try to use another browser for a while?

I haven't played a single bit besides testing in the server rewrite I have been doing but so far I haven't experienced anything with the windows AU.

carsomyr, i can confirm that firefox causes problems with pso x: even if its a nice browser..

actualy im watchin one peace on burning series and i noticed that during active streams more client crashes happen

but if you use other browser its possible that it wont happen

 

i never had a crash cause of reloading/loading a page.. only if i watchin videos.. (i'll try to deinstall my flash player and install silverlight and will tell you if chrashes still happen or not)

Looking around, regarding to firefox crashes themselves, someone suggested turning off NVidia plugins for firefox, can you check if you have any? (If you use NVidia)

That might help... idk.

[Carsomyr]

No Nvidia plugins here....

And I really don't want to use another browser. IE is.. well that is self explanatory Edge is marginally better, and chrome is bloated as hell. It also runs wonky especially where flash is concerned...

So umm. A few weeks (or even months now?) ago I told you Soly that using adobe flash in firefox would crash the game... Turns out this IS the same problem. Before I installed AU I had Adobe set to "ask to activate" because it loads a metric butt ton of ads on different forums and whatnot i browse, but afterwards I never set it back to "ask to activate"... And now that it is set that way again, it only crashes PSO when I activate it. Just FYI

Wow... ok, I'll keep it in mind.

i totaly deinstalled flash player (heard also a lot of problems with it -> viruses) its like 1 or 2 weeks now and i never had any crashes anymore

i also noticed that everytime when i was watching series on burning series (only whatch there if you have an addblock ^^) when flash or whatever tried to load a site in background the client crashed even if addblock blocked it x-x you see a milisec loading something - client crashed - but nothing opened cause addblock blocked it

 

so in my experience it has to be Flash player (im really 99% sure)

game actually work just fine with silverlight, thats what ive tried after flash. and only got random dcs and no more crashes c:

Silverlight is no longer being developed, it's in the "end of life" phase. I'd rather not use it

EDIT: Although I guess it wouldn't hurt to use it for a while until HTML5 really takes off?
