After I updated the CEP and HGE with the HGE updater, I've experienced a series of crashes I never had before. First it started when I crashed as I played my lowbie in the Zhent fortress at Elanna's chamber, then when I tried to log back, it crashed every time in the instant the combat log said Acquired Item: Player Hide. I could only stay after I logged another toon, then used the portal command to get back to my lowbie. I crashed about 5 times before I gave up and portaled.
The second type was when I rejoined the party I was in, and ported to the leader. I clicked on the character sheet, then the HUD just disappeared, and the game crashed again. I gave up after that, because I can't tell if I'd crash after I barely logged in.
This has started only after updating CEP and HGE.

Well I have had some interesting issues:
Firstly, during a DB run, I popped the 3 weapon racks and the third i went to view it and crashed. I tried several times but kept crashing. A similar problem then happened during an abo split today. I couldn't view loot in our guild splitter chest and in the end enrith had to show me loot one at a time lol.
I have just come off malb and every now and again when waiting for party to buff, 'it' would automatically set two players to dislike! I din't think you could if they were in your party, but my game managed to.
I will try and re-run updater. Should I do a full reinstall prior to trying?

I will have the cep updater working again shrtly. After I do running your cep or hge updater will hopefully fix this issue.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Do you know which weapon was in the loot bag which kept crashing you?

It was a DB battelaxe (martins mauler); as for the abo loot, I have no idea I'm afraid.
Certainly no need to apologise as we all appreciate everything you do Acaos, additionally I had lots of fun trying to ruin my party members in malb hehe.

Since the CEP update, I've been crashing when I didn't before. For example, one trigger that I've identified is channeling with my pure sorcerer: Any time I activate tier 2 channeling, the game crashes. Any suggestions (aside from not channeling  )? |

Do you also crash when you activate tier 3 channeling?

I don't think I was clear, in retrospect. When I amp up the channeling to three extra spells, I crash. (Since one is free as a pure sorc, I stated two.)
If I channel two extra spells (the equivalent of one, since I'm pure), I don't crash.

I'll definitely look into this. Interestingly, that particular VFX is one of the few that wasn't compiled in the optimized version, because it doesn't compile properly.
Could you see if someone else casting Energy Drain successfully (which results in a differently-tinted version of the same VFX) also causes you to crash?
You could also try going to the Arena and tell yourself !vfxtest 1885 10 (try from 1880 to 1889 for different colors) and see if those make you crash.
Thanks,
Acaos
