PLEASE READ HOW TO REPORT CRASH BUGS

[Lax]

People consistently post 100% worthless information on crashes.. I've had a stickied post in Bug Reports about how to give HELPFUL information and ... as of yet nobody has posted useful information or added information about how to find what we need with windbg or vc6 (/me pokes the other devs).

Examples of worthless information:
"I crash on zoning"
"I crash randomly"
"I crash sometimes with mq2map open"

"EQGAME caused an invalid page fault in
module MQ2EXPTRACK.DLL at 015f:02fc1098.

Note about the paste above: This gets us NOTHING except that the crash was in MQ2EXPTRACK.DLL. The address shown is in your PERSONAL COPY that you compiled yourself. This is not guaranteed (or even likely) to be the same as someone's that knows how to fix the problem. No, we need more specific information than that.

We need each piece of information listed in this post:

Not one piece, not two pieces, EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION IN THAT POST. After reading it someone gave a small portion of what was asked for hoping to help. Sorry, useless. Step by step instructions are given for Visual Studio .NET, and someone needs to give instructions for VC6 as well as windbg.
