[2021] Game Breaking Bug

Hey u/Bobyauncle5100,

Now that I have set my account up again I can finally reply!
I had a look into this yesterday, I managed to reproduce your issue in world 12 and also your work around by switching to world 1 on my Jmod account in the live game.

There's something quite strange going on with this bug, it seems to be world specific. At this point I can only speculate what is happening. I have been unable to reproduce this in a test environment so I cannot debug the issue.

My assumptions is that something has gone quite wrong in the 1st floor of the Meiyerditch area, weather that is being cause by a player or a broken NPC, I am unsure. As we updated the game soon after I was able to reproduce the issue I was unable to pinpoint the exact cause.

If you find it again or see a reddit thread with somebody having the same issue, please let me know and I will investigate! :)

Cheers,

Mod Dolan

Oh no, that doesn't sound very good. We currently don't have a solution to test highly populated worlds on test worlds but I will be investigating a solution to help us with this in the future. I'm thinking, maybe using headless clients or modifying the current automated "player" code to spawn mass amounts of players in locations across the game. while I cannot guarantee a fix anytime soon. I can guarantee it is something I will be investigating a solution to.

I imagine this issue is quite seasonal to Double XP so I don't imagine you'll run into this issue that often. That said, we should work towards fixing all crashes.
