Crashing on Login / Transition

As per the title.

Must be my day of bad karma today.

Emy (Baatezu, 6 lvls in Erinyes class) crashed while transitioning back from the Plane of Ooze to the Plane of Earth.

Now, when I try to log her back in, the game freezes once the loading bar is done and the area first becomes visible, then crashing the game completely.

Other characters are not affected, so I presume it has something to do with the transition or the Race / custom stuff.

Try changing the capitalization of your login name, so like, instead of "HeartShapedBox" go for "heartshapedbox". That should throw you back to OOC room. That can solve several mundane bugs and issues at least.

If that doesn't work, it's something in the character itself.

Changing the capitalization fixed it. Thanks for the extremely fast help !

As an addendum:

Apparently, Erinyes don't like venturing to the Plane of Earth ... pun aside, the exact same thing happened again once I had her re-enter the plane again, this time coming from the Lower Ward portal. So, perhaps there is something to this bug after all.

I believe it's something in the Elemental Plane of Earth instead, others have reported crashing going in there. I don't know the reason for that, but it's definitely something worth investigating.

*addendum* Some say that going in without buffs seem to prevent crashing, while buffing prior to entering leads to crashes. At the moment I can't verify whether true or not though.

I can verify it. That matches my own experiences where six times in a row I crashed after attempting to enter the Plane of Earth while buffed. It's been fine every time I've gone in without buffs, but it's supremely annoying if you're a character reliant on henchmen and the buffing of them.
A helpful support-shape person. Please feel free to poke me at any time if you need assistance and/or want pictures of cute puppies.
