Error 429

I think Im Dead

So last night I ran a simple game(really only contains a clock) on QuestNet server to see what kind of uptime it could manage. I've come across this error a few times with more complex files when attempting the same kind of uptime test. Here are my notes/results...

Started QuestNet Server Pro Edition at 12:58:50 AM, saving every 1 minutes to save.qsg.

Save.qsg file size was 391 bytes.

A "Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object" occurred at some point between start and the save file's last modified time.

Save file's last modified/accessed times were both equal to 1:13:05 AM.

Save.qsg file size is now 0 bytes.

On attempt to load save.qsg recieved a "File format error: Invalid file!"

This sounds, just from the errors, like it's a problem with the save feature. For reference the asl file I used can be found at http://s88880570.onlinehome.us/asl/error429.asl

Have you tried repeating the test - perhaps looking at it after 15 minutes or so and seeing what happens...

Perhaps even taking a save-file before Quest crashes and then sending THAT file (which would be heaps more useful I guess).

Thanks for reporting this. I've downloaded your ASL file and will take a look into it at as soon as possible.
