Any Idea How to Fix This?

I tried a clean install thinking that might help, but it didn't. All drivers are up to date and have a RTX 3080. I only use Duxaui and win eq. This issue happens almost 100% of the time at the OT outpost and CoM stables. Everywhere else it's random and infrequent, but still an annoyance.

Any other info that you need, let me know and I'll supply it.

dgVoodoo2 is the only solution I've seen. It seems to be an issue with how newer video cards interpret API calls from the version of DirectX that the Titanium client is using. It is available from this site http://dege.fw.hu/dgVoodoo2

I used this post here when I set it up, has screenshots of settings:

If I can figure out how to install it, I'll give it a try. Not seeing any type of how to or instructions needed to make it work.

Going off this video, Any voodoo version I download does not have the voodoo exe with it.

drop the DLLs from \dgVoodoo2_77\MS\x86 into your everquest directory.


Run Downloads\dgVoodoo2_77\dgVoodooCpl.exe, click direct x tab, uncheck the watermark option under "miscellaneous", then click apply, this saves it to the config file (Downloads\dgVoodoo2_77\dgVoodoo.conf)

Drop dgVoodoo.conf into your everquest directory.

I recently applied this fix and it has fixed most of my crashes and freezes in game

My AV ate up the .exe on version 66 i downloaded, didnt seem to have a problem with version 77.

Thanks

Look at my post above. Any version of Voodoo that I download has no dgVoodooCpl.exe file. What I downloaded looks nothing like the video I posted.

I'm downloading from here. http://dege.freeweb.hu/

Your Anti-virus is likely eating the exe

Disabled windows defender. Still the same issue.

Microsoft Defender shouldn't be a problem with dgVoodoo versions 2.6x+ because I submit new releases to MS for human analysis to remove detection.
Any other AV software can be though...

This is what i see in the archive when dowloading from http://dege.freeweb.hu/



are you using this link from the site? -- http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/bin/dgVoodoo2_77.zip

i should have looked closer at your initial screenshots after i got to my pc. looks like you downloaded the API files. Link above should have what you need

Yes I am, as it's the link I posted earlier.

WTH! I click the website link and it doesn't have it. I click the link in your post and it's there.

Reposting since you may not see my edit.

The screenshots you are showing are for the API files, so it looks like a case of the wrong files. you want to use this link/file

Got everything where I think they should be. Lets see how this goes.

oof. not too sure then. remove the .conf file from your EQ directory and try it with just the DLLs.


i moved my EQ directory to c:\users\user\documents which would be another difference from your setup perhaps.

Not too sure how to troubleshoot as i just dropped in the dlls/config file and was good to go

Conf file? I only put in the 4 dll files and the voodooCPL exe.

Will look for a config file later. I don't have one.

And thank you very much for helping me out with this. I have to do something for 2 hours or so and will be out of the house .

Was told not to use compatibility settings in another thread, but I'll give that a try.

I put the 4 dll files and the cpl in the eq directory, then added the config file. I can get to the server select scree, select Blue, then get a memory error.

[Stitches1974]

Still get the memory error even after using the compatibility setting.

[Stitches1974]

Another forum member tried to help out and still no dice.

Clean install. Game runs. Install Druxaui. Game runs. Follow this test method and the game gets a memory error.
