Referenced Memory Application Error

[Zerrith]

Hello everyone,

When I try to load my character select screen I get the following error:
"The instruction at 0x02ae45b4 referenced memory at 0x036ef0e4. The memory could not be read"

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but got nothing. Also tried messing with the resolution settings I saw in a previous post. Anyone get this or know how to fix it?

For starters, make sure all drivers are up to date... this includes CPU, motherboard, video and windows updates.

Do a google search on the message you are getting, its generic and not directly related to EQ itself:
The instruction at 0x02ae45b4 referenced memory at 0x036ef0e4. The memory could not be read

Try right clicking EQ icon, Properties, check Run in 640x480. Once in game change resolution.

... or edit eqclient.ini to put the correct resolution for your screen in -- Mg

I had the reference memory error for a while which forced me to run wineq2 and while running that I noticed the game while playable was choppy. I don't know if you have dual cores or not but here is how I fixed it using windows 10 running a dual core processor in 4 easy steps . First I started the program went through the Eula and stopped at the login screen, before putting in my password etc. Second I alt/tabbed out and hit ctrl/alt/delete. Third I opened my task manager and moved to the tab labeled details. Scrolling down until I located the Eqgame.exe. Fourth I right clicked on it and set the affinity for core 0 while removing all other core affinity to that game, I can now play using the original client. I have no run issues it loads faster and so far the only problem I have had is sometimes it will crash when I log out. This has been a permanent fix for me it's not something I have had to change as the affinity is binding and if you need to you can always go back and change it later.

I hope this helps you out
