Game hangs on logoff

Jan 09, 2010 davejohn link
OS 10.6

Since the update the game hangs when logging off. Log off, get to the exit button, cursor freezes. Cmd alt esc returns to desktop.

May be associated with this but /ignore list is lost, and oddly +ptt setting.

The bug reporter does not appear.

same problem on mac os 10.5.8, except that if I am in full screen mode it fully freezes. no escaping to desktop. Hard powerdown is the only solution I've found to recover. I will try changing to windowed mode before logoff next time. I expect I will be able to get to the force-quit menu, or at least I hope so

Win XP here. When I logoff and exit, the game appears to exit completely and without error. However, I keep seeing the bug reporter dialog once my desktop reappears, as if the game crashed in the last stages of shutting down.

I had same problem as CD did above, but only after downloading a fresh copy of the software. Before that it just crashed to the desktop on clicking logoff, then the bug report came up. I'm using OS X 10.6.2.

Yeah, there's a bug that I'm fixing that is causing some clients to crash on logoff. The patch should be out in a few minutes. (version 1.8.109.1)

Still getting the full crash since the patch, but not every time. It happens about every other or 1/3 times.

I did not experience any crashes with 109 and 109.1, but I got a crash on 109.2. Bug reporter launched, but crashed.

I'm running MacOS 10.6.

Aye, I have the same problem as CD. With 109 I just crashed and the bug reporter launched... but with 109.1 and 109.2 I freeze on logout. Only solution I could see for the freeze with 109.1 and 109.2 was a hard powerdown.

Edit: It worked fine on my MacBook (running 10.6), but the desktop on which I actually play VO runs 10.5.8 I believe.

Another patch is forthcoming that should fix the crashes... again.
