Network Alignment Error / Crashes

[Panopticon 1]

For the past few days when I try to log in I get an error while connecting to the server, its says Network Alignment Error. Sometimes it seems to log me in but then crashes immediately. I'm sure its a problem with my computer as I can log in on other PCs. This is a new problem, Ive been playing for a year without it.

Im running 64 bit Windows 7, tried using differant versions (version 6 and 32 bit as well) of Java, still doesn't run. Not sure if this is a Java problem or something else. I dont get any error reports or anything.

Any help would be appreciated, thx.

[Vixeyrose 18]

I too am now getting this issue. I have been able to play before, but the last couple days I have not. Same Windows 7 64 bit. The error log is as follows:

Unexpected crash while playing The error was: <null>

It's possible you might figure out what's wrong from the log file below, but if you can't, post the full log on the wurm online forums, and someone else might be able to help you.

Bump... still having the same issue

[Telurius 52]

Vixeyrose, your issue appears to be the same one in the following thread (and many others):

http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/63627-client-repeatedly-quits-running/

The original post may also be about the same issue, but I'm not certain of that.

The thread I linked to above is one of the longest on the issue and seems to have the most information on the issue, though I don't know much about it other than its symptoms. It appears to be a network/internet related problem. Things associated with it are disconnections/reconnections (often with network alignment errors), various weird warning/error messages (null tile types, being unable to interact with things because they don't exist, etc.) getting spammed in console logs, garbled text, and crashes (usually due to BufferUnderflowExceptions, though sometimes due to other exceptions). The issue can come and go, so identifying things that may be causing it or alleviating it may be difficult. I'm not sure if the exact cause was ever identified.

You might want to start out by checking with Shalbriri and Xsamuraizx to see if they found out anything that might help while trying to find a solution to it. They're GMs who have encountered the issue themselves, and they may know something about the issue that I don't.

[Vixeyrose 18]

Thanks for the response and info.
