    May i suggest, since Zakum is so glitchy with random d/cs. To have an implemented system where if we d/c we have up to 2 minutes to re-log back into the same channel and it would spawn us back into the map. I've been d/cing for the past 3-4 days and I don't think the problem revolves around my pc. Many players other than myself have had these same d/cs with zakum

    The thing is that if the problem isn't your PC and it persists, being warped back into the map is pointless because you'll just DC again. We can't make it unlimited warpbacks because that's very easily abused.

    Plenty of players don't dc at Zakum; I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there's some setting or some file that's messed up or being misused on your computer that's causing it, or it's server lag that we're actively trying to minimize. If you've got a theory about a particular problem we can solve, please come forth with it so that we can solve the root of the problems rather than make a bandage for it.

    I agree with Mike. I just dc'd at the last form and it really sucks.

    What if we limit 2 relogs per char?

    Like I said, if it's a problem such as the one you described, any amount of relogs is redundant because you'll log back in and d/c again. Think of people with the MAC Client issues; this would not help them in the slightest, since they dc almost immediately. I'm a player too; I've disconnected as body died on runs where I was going for helms, I've had players come on my runs trying for helms and disconnect, leaving the run to be basically useless since there are no looters left, one of my good friends has all but quit leveling because she can't stop dc'ing at Zakum so she can get TT10, the list goes on. But making a relog counter, in my opinion, is not the way to go about fixing this, however much it may suck.

    A certain very large v83 Private Server from a few years back had the relog-into-map and it made a lot of very abusable glitches that I won't list. If you want to hear stories, lumlums, you have my Skype.

    At this time, we are looking to solve the reasons people disconnect at Zakum rather than simply make a way around it. If it really pleases you, I'll have a staff vote for it.

    "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

    Runtime Eror!

    This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    please contact the application’s support team for more information."

    It keeps happening for me whenever I reach the 3rd \ 2nd body. That means that I'll never be able to get a zhelm... I have to agree with Mike.. You just need to create a system like this or find an alternative way...

    You just need to google your problem and download the right re-distributable package for your OS.

    What you are suggesting is that the server create a (rather abusable) bandaid patch for a problem that your computer has (and potentially have our server run the risk of having severe consequences because of it). I run Windows 7 on many of my computers and have never had this problem; as the error message tells you, the issue lies with your own Microsoft software and has nothing to do with the game itself.

    As Matt suggested, you should try to Google the issue. If you really cannot find an answer, perhaps post a separate thread asking for help fixing your issue; other people may have faced this issue in the past and solved it, and may be able to assist you.

    Well, I've never had this problem with other servers; When I zak at a version 144, which is quite bigger than this one, it all went smooth. I'll try to reinstall it and search it online anyway.
