Its happened to me on 3 computers, so I know its megamud and not myself.



When sometimes one of my characters hangs up, and I click to relog back on, itll lock up the entire computer for a few minutes at a time. Does anyone know why, and how to fix this? Its driving me nuts. Thanks!

I've had it happen when trying to reconnect sometimes as well, almost as if the telnet connection is lagging the system. If you slam on the escape key a bit, it'll normally kill the attempt, and if you have a respectable reconnect time setup, you can then kill the attempted reconnect.

I have no idea if there's a memory leak from megamud, but obviously, rebooting your computer occasionally is just a good idea.

It doesn't matter about the computer i've had the same problem. When running in several different muds. One hangs up, sometimes it locks on connecting. I usually have to control alt delete to kill the process, then reboot the puter. It's been doing that for a couple of years and i have not found a fix yet.

forgot who told me this

if it starts to lock, keep pressing the connect/disconnect button. it gets out of being locked up VERY fast, instead of waiting for the process to hog 100% for minutes...

Which is essentially the same thing as hitting ESC key a few times (When it's attempting to connect, at least).

once in a while, not very often, hitting the escape key does prevent the lock up. Sometimes though the lock up is so severe that i have to press the power button on the pc to shutdown.

Hold ESC. it will unlock in 3 - 5 seconds, max. Also need to click on display window first (whether it registers or not, windows gives it input focus)



Cheers :cheers:

sorry daede been there done that when its severe not even holding it down works.

i blame it on bad tcp/ip or winsock programming by the developers of megamud

i blame deathblow being down
