Its boooooring...every maintenance announce - and posts about L2.bin error...which I don't have btw ^^
What is this l2.bin error?

black screening anywhere will Crit error people means porting into rift / valakas/ hb/getting pred/ getting summoned and coged on one box not just multi boxing and when gm move you around i crit error. so its really annoying.
2 boxing, OK, everyone does it. 3? OK, PP/SE or whatever. 4? You got too much money to spend on a game - why not learn to play an MMO and MULTIPLAY. You know, with other people. Other players aren't just PvP targets, ya know! :cool:
hey art then quit lol u know they aint never gonna fix it... u even got a written respnoce saying they will never fix it lol
hey purp... i play this game TO GET AWAY FROM PPL NOT TO SOCIALIZE...


not everyone plays to be social... i am so anti social i benn kicked outta bout 6 diff clans because o being anti social lol

oh yah i havent pvped (cept seige) ever... i just like hitting millions of mobs over and over and over lol......

1 box unacceptable.
u forgot this statement art...


end of line.
So it is anti-box error? Maybe it was deliberate action? ^^
not exclusive no.

apparently it has something to do with how windows operationg system handles the l2 client window

No .. It happens when only using one client.
nope i have had it ONLY happen to me when my boxes are running behind me
Server transfers didnt go through?
with this maintenance you will fix the elemnt problem in the territory earrings?
No .. It happens when only using one client.
Nope... Im One-Client-User, and i NEVER saw this error :)

Please keep an open mind. Other players might be one-clienting also and could have gotten the error.

Just like I usually 2 box on at least one of my 3 comps (I like keeping a sell store up while exping), and that one never l2bin errors either.

Different ppl have different computer setups, and there is a lot of different hardware/software configurations out there. Troubleshooting for an error like this isnt helped by ppl just saying it NEVER happens just because they never had it happen to them...
So...their PCs s*x :)
So...their PCs s*x :)

Not necessarily. I have had the l2bin also, even on the comp I most recently bought. It went away when I tried Judas "uncheck decrease background performance" quickfix :D
Please keep an open mind.

Indeed. What OS are people using when this occurs? What background applications are running? One problem with diagnosing any type of computer error is that all of the background history of the computer must be taken into account before any resolution or fix can be created.

I used to work for a software firm and we used to test/design point of sales applications which were made in VB. We had approximately 500 laptops on site at any one time being run with a perfect hard-drive image based on a master which was updated nightly. I can tell you now that if a bug occurred, which wasn't related to the application, it was pretty easy to identify and correct for the next nightly build.

So, here you have it L2 peeps! If you want fixes as fast as you can take down a raid boss, make sure you are using the exact same system setup as the Korean developers and testers!
i had xp 32 bit and now have win 7 64 bit and same happens
Crash Happens When u RUn L2 in Window mode and switch to any other windows(it can be box chars window, MSN, Browser, Winamp, Foler Window, etc)...

It doesnt Crash when u run L2 in full screen mode and dont switch to other windows..
nope i have had it ONLY happen to me when my boxes are running behind me

The obvious point there is that that is what you are experiencing not others. Don't assume your issues are the same as others. It's similar to assuming your forum name should be taken literally.

i l2.bin in rift switching rooms. single client. FULL SCREEN
3 clients = 3 pcs, i choose the easy way :)
3 clients = 3 pcs, i choose the easy way :)

So did I, but I still dont get it on the second client on one of my computers.

And heck, during sieges I 6 box on the same 3 comps and I dont get it then either >.<

Seems this one will take a while for them to troubleshoot.

You write that as facts, but it isnt.

When I'm with my AW and PP grinding, while being on my AW, the PP crashes (boxed).
Then I do not switch screens or whatever. It only happens when I seem to be running from spot A to spot B (i.e. walking to a mob, or grind spot).
Seems also to be happening between every 15 and 20 min. Just on time for rebuff tho..

4-boxed doing my lvl 4 clan quest solo, never again :D

Nope, it NEVER happens to me in such cases.

problem is with when you port places.

Well, in fairness what he described is what a lot of people, including myself, had problems with (crashing when boxed toon follows). Of course you're correct that not everyone has had that issue.

Strangely enough I was plagued with this for about two weeks (like crash ever 5-10 min) after that particular update removing the event. Then they did something and I have not had the problem since. I had even exchanged emails with their lead tech support guy, and he was surprised that it stopped so suddenly because he hadn't seen any info about a patch.

has not stopped!

It has for me, which was the point of my post. That it stopped suddenly for me and some others, but not for everyone.

its because your computer is ..

while switching windows it forces computer to use its VGA capabilities more than normal.. sometimes its goes to maximum.. So client crashes...

and while running from one spot to other spot or while porting it forces graphics card because its reloading new huge amount of graphics in 1 second.. but it still doesnt not force as much as changing windows..

All crashes happen Cause Game is FORCING VGA...

did u ever noticed that crashes are twice less when u run in Low frame mode?


windows vista and 7 is forcing VGA more than XP. and plus Game Client FORCES VGA?
SO in windows vista and in windows 7 crashes happens more than in win XP

Then they'd be seeing a BSOD, not a l2.bin crash.

In low frame textures are smaller and take less memory, so i would bet on memory leaks XD

yea it actually forces VGA's Memory...

I have played in 4-5 different comps.. more VGA is better less crashes happen.

the only good answer (zomg i agree with smittie :eek:)

It was bound to happen at some point...

There are (were?) crashes resulting from resource leaks (on my notebook with Intel graphics, for example), but I doubt that there are no other reasons.
Well the crashing has gotten better than it was before - still not 100% fixed, but I have been seeing improvements.
