    Code:

    * Improved a condition which leads to a client LD while zoning, due to the client showing up at a zone, before the zone processes the worldserver authorization for the client to be there.
    * Fixed a race condition which caused the majority of client crashes when zoning.
    * Combat range tweaks.
    * Updated some BestZ calculations to check against underworld z values when set.

    The usual spot where we fight CT is busted now, i supect the change to BestZ might have something to do with it or combat range

    Really need more details on what is different.

    Combat range change this patch was made to match PC and Mobs so you can edge out of combat range with a high aggro pet and not get summoned.

    BestZ changes now check against zone underworld z settings.

    Need more info on how you kill CT.

    we used to tank him at -1282 281 -14.60

    But this time it was impossible to him inside the tower, and the tank could not auto attack him when he was stuck on the walls of the building, but CT was attack him

    When was last time you killed CT in this location? There were some changes to fix players being able go hit NPCs, but NPCs not hitting back not too long ago. The situation can happen in reverse now. PCs no longer get the advantage.

    Last week we killed CT in this location, its the same location that has been used for 5 years now. So when CT gets close to the tower, he warps into the opening of the tower and nobody is able to hit him anymore.

    Not totally sure why it started now. It might be because mobs would not run as close. The combat range distances update did contribute to it. But what I found was a Line of Sight issue, where the client couldn't hit the NPC. There was a max cap on LOS for large mobs, which was not always applied in the code. This lead to CT being able to hit, but players not able to hit CT.

    So ya, something weird. Should be fixed next patch.

    Wowsers, finding and fixing a race condition takes a lot of work. Thanks!
