Default Open Bag Mod - Crashing and Burning after 8/14/07 patch

Hi folks,

Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Since the 8/14/07 patch, pretty much any time I die, and try to a) open a banker while nekkid, or b) try to loot my corpse, I have been crashing to desktop. I'm reasonably certain this is being cause by my open bag mod of the Inventory window - trying to open that window when the bags aren't really in my inventory I suspect is causing the crash. That seems to be confirmed as well when I remove the open bag mod, I experience no crashes.

I had an open bag mod on my Inventory screen that I really liked. I had heard that trying to display the contents of Bag 7 would almost certainly cause problems, so I had created a mod where I have Bags 5 and 6 displayed along with the normal Inventory display items. It made swapping gear amazingly easy, and now that I can't use it, I'm really missing it.

Anyone else seeing this?

I have the exact same problem w/ one of the modifications for EgrasUI. It will crash after I die and zone to bind, or when I get a rez after I zoned (if I got lucky and didn't crash). It's pretty consistant and stops if I get rid of the "open bag" modifications to the UI.

I too love this type of mod though and it makes it extremely easy to use clickies that are stored in my bags. I'd love to hear if someone has a fix.

I've had that intermittently with my UI with the bags added as part of the map. As you say, having them open when you die and zone seems to be a common cause of the crash, but there also appears to be a more intermittent crash anytime you have them open when zoning.

For some reason crashes happen more often on some characters than others too, so I suspect it may even be down to the type of items / bags you have on you.

My workaround is this: http://www.eqinterface.com/download....php?s=&id=5451

I've moved all my open inventory mods to the bandolier window. It means I can have them available at a keypress, but it's also easier to keep them closed most of the time, reducing the risk of a crash when zoning or dying. I've never had a crash while looting my corpse, and haven't crashed at all so far since using this mod.

Oh, and PS: It's designed from the start for clickies
