All 3 of us went into Daragoth and we lost all our stuff and went down to 5 hp, all the stats are at 0.
Console kept saying " *** Can't Access Character Menu - Character Loaded or Loading *** "
Only thing we still have is the gold.

Requesting a rollback to a few hours ago.

Oh boy, things are getting out of hand.

Done.


*sigh* Yeah... This is looking more and more like the new overflow issue. There's no function for this, and why it'd keep your gold... Just, effing weird. Doesn't seem to be any consistency beyond happening during map transitions.

Just a fyi, this issue started happening when shender was added to the game (not implying that it's the map's fault). It was extremelly rare back then but as you can see now, it's unstable this last patch.

So perhaps there could be something messing with the character loading that was added recently to the game. If i'm not mistaking, all of this happens on the character selection screen and then you spawn naked and newborn.

Could this have something to do with memory alloc errors or reconnection times after mapchange?

Which is what makes it more of a mystery, as yes, the first instance was in JAN2013a, which was *before* the introduction of the Steam Pipe HLDS, which broke the reconnect system, which lead to the rash of dealloc on map changes. Nothing has changed with the save system - for years and years. So *shrug* total mystery.

The first occurrence was during a test, I believe, so someone may have used changelevel to get to shender_east, and caused a dealloc that way, but if not... I got nuttin.
