Yes sometimes a hakpak unrelated to the server can cause the problem, depending on what it does. But I was asking if this server actually uses any hakpaks at all [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Either way the explanation would be that since the 2da files were changed during the update then unless the hakpak was either made for 1.62 or given the 'all clear' for use with 1.62 then the game itself may have a problem when asked to record information (i.e. save). The info could conflict as the call to save the game attempts to ovewrite some newly-added resources but cannot as it finds the hakpak is using it. I have seen this before (this is why haks are labelled 1.30, 1.60, for use with sou etc.) but It's all theory in your situation as I don't know if you are using any at all.

Also, if the person experiencing the crash has edited things such as tlk files or 2da files (usually for custom spells, classes, PRC's) this could be the problem too. It is suggestivethat some custom content is involved since it requires a re-install of the game to get it running (resetting to default files). I would try removing haks and any custom content and give it a shot again but you know, this could simply be a new 1.62 bug....
