Sometimes mine makes trips, but I think thats only if the map is not clear yet. When huge piles of items drop, the bot seems to struggle especially with picking items (doing a full 360 degree clockwise scan)...

I have almost exactly the same setup, so I'll post my issue here: The game crashes semi frequently, usually in relation to a) how many resources are being used by the main computer and other vms(not any atm) and b) how long the VM/PoE/bot have been running. The game loads slow --> freezes --> disconnects to login and functions poorly afterward, or crashes completely and doesnt restart. or Chicken/Timeout (takes too long to finish map, stuck back&fourth, stuck in doorframe, etc) --> exit to login --> many more problems CPU /phys memory usually spikes from 50-90+% during this, then when it freezes, drops back down. I've done just about everything in the Sticky compendium. Graphics are at suck level (3.5), but I still get funky things like accidentally grabbing an item from the right most column, middle row, without "knowing" it, and looping.

If you're using VMware too, I think I found the cause. Basically just shutting down the VM and restarting VMware program itself fixed this for me. Before, I just powered off the VM, and left VMware running for an extended period. Apparently VM simulations "degrade" in performance much faster than their direct hardware-OS counterparts? Seems like I can leave my comp on for 2-3 days and be fine, but after a day of leaving a VM on, performance gets much worse. I checked paging file stuffs on my VM and that looks normal, maybe its a memory swap thing? I really know nothing about VM optimization. Bot ran for 4 hours before crash and stop last night. It's on about 4 hours now again. I also tweaked some settings like decreasing loot range etc that i read somewhere else.

Well I've noticed that I can't get it to run (maps) for long periods of time without something happening. It isn't anything specific though, its just always 80 minutes. Windows 7 SP1/VMware workstation Sometimes it chickens because its about to die --> PoE crashes, doesn't reboot Chickens because no monsters killed in 2-3 mins --> poe crashes doesn't reboot Last time, map was done, exits because low life ( degeneration ), --->poe crash, no reboot I see a lot of times it just goes to a corner and tried to run through a wall, or goes in the door to the boss room then tries to click where there is no valid move command / area to run to. Any ideas? Could it be a function of lag/ lack of memory? occasionally the bot will try to click when area isnt done loading --> poe crashes. thanks!
