Showeq crashing with 5.0.0.21

[ralkrasta]

The error that happens right before it crashes is...

Debug: SEQ: Giving up finding arq 0042 in steam client-zone cashe, skipping!
Aborted

Getting a lot of spell errors also...

Unknown: 01a6

Someone mentioned you need to put in the new spell lists to fix this, how exactly do I do that?

If you're dropping packets, you need to increase your socket receive buffers. This differs per distribution. If you're lucky, you have an /etc/sysctl.conf that you can set net.core.rmem_default and net.core.rmem_max in. Just keep increasing them until you don't crash anymore.

spells_us.txt and eqstr_us.txt need to be in /usr/local/share/showeq if you want spell names to be resolved correctly and formatted messages to pull from the string file.

My comment re: spells in the other thread was based on quick (anecdotal) observation and shouldn't be taken as gospel.

I play on Test frequently and find myself having to patch the spell file often or I crash. Since test spell file can be updated several times in one night, I usually skip it for a few days unless it gets bad.
