Decal ... what happened with the November patch?

There seem to be three main problems with the November patch that cause AC to crash (two are decal related, the third is not)

  1. OnChatMessage and Decal 1.1 are having relationship problems -- AC crashes to desktop
    bulletFull details
    bulletPreferred fix: Upgrade to Decal 2.1 RC1
    bulletAlternate fix: REMOVE the OnChatMessage tag from memlocs.xml
  2. Decal 2.0 RC1 and characters with no magic -- AC crashes during login of certain characters
    bulletThere is a known bug that crashes AC when (a) running Decal 2.0 RC1 and (b) you attempt to login a character that has an empty spellbook (no learned spell).
    bulletWorkaround: disable decal, login that character, equip a wand (explorer wands are greatt for this) and learn a spell. any spell. really.
    bulletFix: This has been fixed and will be present in the next release of Decal
  3. AC crashes when you login certain characters
    bulletAfter you logoff a character and login a subsequent character, AC crashes you back to the desktop
    bulletThis ALWAYS happens with certain characters ... and NEVER with others
    bulletAfter restarting client.exe, you are able to login the offending characters
    bulletThis is a known bug with client.exe ... it is independent of Decal. 
    bulletTurbine has successfully & consistently reproduced the problem
    bulletExpect a fix ... pray that it is soon
    bulletWorkaround: turn off the "Display Coordinates Under Radar" option for all characters.
