Crash when selling

Sunbite · May 2014

I'm occasionally crashing to desktop when interfacing with an NPC. I noticed it yesterday but assumed it was the memory leak issue (I was affected by that). But today, the leak is fixed and I just crashed to desktop when trying to sell junk to an NPC.

I think it might also have happened when banking - but selling is definitely affected.

Anyone else had this?

I'm crashing 100% of the time when using sell all junk at a vendor.

Yes for now I've stopped pressing X to sell all junk and I just sell each item individually. Haven't crashed since I'm doing that - takes longer but it's safer

@Vantor‌, @Sunbite‌ I assume you crash when using the keyboard action?

Dumb as it sounds, go into controls and Keybind to a different key...Bet it works.

Have the same crap happen with mail attachments and banking via the default 'E' key. I think there's an issue with the code loop that monitors keypresses in UI interaction situations. It either doesn't jump to the right loop, or crashes on return from that loop.

If the keybind bandaid works, make sure to make in in game bug report.

Here's my original thread about the bank/attachment issue.

Key bind is the source of crash to desktop

Hmm... Interesting. Though it only happens with sell all junk button. I have no trouble with bank or mail attachments default keybinds. Will certainly try it and let you know when i get home from work.

Thanks for the advice.

Not tried this yet. I did pluck up the courage to hit the X button earlier and the game definitely stuttered. I thought it was going to crash - but it recovered. Odd though.
And strangely I had the Coldharbour strange seeds quest bug out on me the last couple of days. A very helpful CS guy suggested I rebind the interact key - which I did and the quest then worked. Of course, it might have been coincidence but seems weird.

Yesterday for some reason i didn't crash while selling all junk. I'll try it again today and see how it goes. Still haven't tried remapping.
