I'm curious as to how you guys manage to get 2 vmware sessions running very well. My main computer with an Intel I-3570 and 16gb can't really do two sessions because of the sync issues. My CPU is at about 50% with just one sessions

[Darkbounded]

Are you using VMWare Workstation 8? Is that i5-3570 ? if it is I bet that you shouldn't have any problems, what are the specs that you use for the VMs? How much Disk Space do you give them? How much for Page File? How much free space you have at all on your host? Do you monitor your temperatures? Intel processors usually hold on higher temps than AMD as far as I know... I manage to get 3 VMs up and running with my CPU being at around 90-95%

And I am almost sure that I found the problem for my issues, right now it looks like the bot was the problem I started with R236 and so far it passed the 20 missions or at least restarted at 20 missions but its still running (i dont know if it really restarted but the win/lost counter reseted) so if it runs for another several hours restarting or not, I'm betting on the bot, that's the only thing I havent tried so far (to use different revision)

Update: Too fast with the conclusion again... the client crashed the bot said that the client isn't running and it closed aswell...... oh god what the hell is going on 4 days I can't fix it.. and it's my last day today, university starting tomorrow, its now or never I need HALP!!

I have 25 gb of page file on my system and disk space is 150 gb, free space is about 50 gb or so. I'm running vmware 9 on this computer but i guess i'll have to try vmware 8 and see if it gives better performance but it sounds weird as vmware 9 is supposed to have much better GFX support.

Don't I just installed 9 again just to see if it will work with a different windows and it's working now, for my VMs I give 4 Cores, 3 GB RAM, 40-50GB Disk Space and 5-10GB for Pagefile

2 Cores should work for you, the only reason that I give 4 cores is because, sometimes it needs a little more than 2 cores (at least for me) and 2 cores at 100% is 4 cores at 50% so sometimes it needs an extra and I want it to be there when that happens

Setting the affinity didn't work it still crashed again after 22 missions....

Ok there is one thing left that I haven't done, originally I downloaded this copy of star wars (that im using on the VMs) on the host a little over a month ago, and I just copied it inside the VMs, could this be the problem? Do I need to do a fresh download for each of them?

Yeah the crashing continues unfortunately, I've tried every 'fix' throughout the net so far including (but not limited to)...

Set Affinity in Task Manager
Game Booster
Deleted retailclient folder from swtor dir and repair

Someone mentioned that it could be a check via the game that records your repetative movements, which yeah maybe, after 22-24 wins on Aetan you technically have been doing the exact same thing for an hour. The only trouble I'm having with doing any of this on my own is the lack of knowledge with AutoIt, learning completely new software from scratch is my crutch. Just gotta see it done once and I'm good.

Anyways, enough rambling, back to botting.

It's not that. If it was that everyone would the same issue.

[eibtech]

This is true.

Yes and 20-22 missions is two hours not one hour.

I am doing 3 different tests now, one on my PC no VMs no nothing, one in the VM with R236 and the new win that removed the memory issue, and one on the other VM with Llanic(to see if it's only Drexe/Aeten) leveling another char, lets see if any of them will go through the 25 missions mark..

Test on PC 25+ missions, using more ram than the others (1,7gb)

VM1 Crashed at 20 missions again (with 1,3GB ram which normally is normal) giving the "dont send" error, if I remember correctly there was some option in windows to disable the "dont send" error messages and just close the program on its own, if its like this, then the bot should be able to relog it everytime it crashes on every 20 missions.... right?

VM2 Llanic still running 22 missions... - Update: Ran for 41 missions..... its limited to Kalee/Aeten...

About Vmware 9 I just can't get it to start "the right way" but it's running fine.. except the crashing ofc, going back to 8 and disabling error messages to see if this will help and if the bot will manage to restart it when it crashes , but like I said Llanic ran for 41 missions straight on the VM... I also tried running it from a different planet, because I saw somewhere that on some planets there are memory leaks, still no difference

PLEASE HELP ITS DRIVING ME NUTZ ever since 1.4 i can do Javaal Fleet Action the Bot goes in for about 5 seconds to the mission and the press ESC and clicks Leave Mission but when it leaves the mission it just sends me back to the Character Section and starts the mision back up and just repeats i have not yet to try this with other missions but i will now and update the list i can do, but so far i Tried one other mission and it worked this has been happening since 1.4. Can someone please help me and tell me WTF is going on.

Try different values of Image Tolerance, usually helps

Users, Developers, Curious Onlookers, Strange Internet Prowlers:

This is just a quick update to let you know that after much coding and fixing and revising, the new build should be ready for testing later today. This one in particular has been a huge effort, requiring over three thousand extra lines of code to be made functional.

Besides the Game Play Schedule and Daily Mission corrections, included are a number of additional crash checks which should help to get the game client running again under some of the circumstances listed above (for example, it checks for the standard Windows error button [OK] as well as the [Close Program] prompt at each crash/close/start).

I'll post the specifics once it's ready to roll. And then I get to sleep.

That's very good news and thanks, as for my issue now I am 100% sure that it's only for Aeten/Kalee (or Aeten/Kalee + the other missions in their zone) I ran Llanic for 40+ missions, and now I am running Drexel sweep for almost 4 hours (which is almost as good as Kalee losing about 10-15% credits) I tried ANYTHING and I still don;'t know what is the problem since others dont have this, maybe its only problem for AMDs.... gonna try the new stuff tomorrow , I'm wondering if I should try 20+ missions on kalee manually just to confirm it 100%

I'm not sure. With your current build, and the build I'm working on now, Kalee has been running without issue on my rig (in the VM). Check to see that the mission is starting at exactly the right second - an image check misfire there could cause some issues.

When the game crashes into character selection screen, mouse clicks on create new character instead of loggin in. I guess it has something to do with the amount of characters existant. I have11.

Interesting one! I'll add some characters and test so I can get a read on the new location. I'll put that into the upcoming build. Some of the reconnect code just clicks a location instead of searching for Play, so updating that might solve the problem as well.
