Posted this on the nexon forum, but figure this would be more useful here.
My theory on reproduction step after getting my hero stuck again. (Honestly I was expecting error code:38 to come back to haunt me when I saw my inventory being full)
Requirements to have
-Many inventory expansion (at least 20 for each slot for each section, setup/use/equip/) for your inventory
-12 link skill equipped on that character
Reproduction step
1. Have your inventory near full
2. Loot as much equipment/use item as you can to fill up all your inventory slot
3. Your inventory should be full or close to being full (at least 95% full)
4. Change channel
Theory on why I think this is a key to reproduction
-unlinking link skill have freed my hero from error code:38 once, (inventory was 85% full at this time)
-Today when my hero is afflicted by error code:38 again (Inventory was 93% full, 4 slot from being maxed), unlinking the link skill doesn't work as a fix anymore. Probably the reason for this not working anymore is that the threshold for the bug to occur is still too high after removing the link skill.
-this bug only affect main character, where majority of items/equip/setup/cash item is kept, and where 90% of all people will use their inventory expansion/ link skill on
There might be a problem with the amount of data that is being sent between the client and the server, where the server sends too much data for the client to handle causing it to crash giving the error code:38 reached end of file. (Too much items/link skill on the character).
Why I think this is a case:
-attempting to log on affected character will still display <victim has logged> popup on other mapler screen
-crash occur between the moment after inputting pin, and before the resolution switch occurs while the screen is still dark
One another possible explanation, the affected character successfully log onto the server, but unsuccessfully log onto the channel due to a limit on the amount of data being processed at once. This might be a cause since the bug doesn't occur until you change channel or log out.
Not going to bother submitting a ticket again because the support team do not have the power to log into our accounts to remove items from our inventory, and it cannot be fix without an update to the code on how characters change channel.
