Ok, Im running an AMD athlon(tm) XP 2800+ also and get the same problem. It looks like it is the same problem as with the eqmain.dll before. Are you running and AMD also wert6?

Same here. The dsetup.dll didn't work, nor did Uaellaen's resolution thing.

Nothing has worked for me yet either. The client is just crashing to desktop before loading anything with the windows pop up "eqgame.exe has stopped working" and then closing that error window produces "appl unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). I do notice that the new error code is different from what I was getting.

Ok, let's see if I've missed something.
Problem: trying to start the game gives me the (0xc0000096) error.
Notes:
- Not caused by EQEmuLauncher. It did that before I installed the launcher, and still does after.
- The launcher seems to have its own problems anyway as it wants to patch 28 files every time I try to log on.
- Error occurs whether I run the launcher or the eqgame.exe -patchme shortcut.
Tried:
- Deleting wsock32, dsetup.dll, eqgame.dll. Didn't fix it.
- Tried copying over a fresh install of the game that I have on an external drive and frequently use. I've done this about half a dozen times, simply copy-pasting the EverQuest directory onto my desktop. You don't need to actually install the game. A new, freshly patched (to V14) copy gets the error as well.
- That screen resolution thing made no difference.
- The new dsetup.dll provided by Rogean made no difference.
- Updating .NET framework made no difference, and I'm pretty sure I had 3.5 in the first place.
Edit: dsetup.dll appears to be the problem. If I delete it and try to run eqgame.exe (not the patchme shortcut), it says it won't run because dsetup.dll is missing. If I put dsetup.dll back into the directory, I get the (0xc0000096) error when trying to run the game whether from eqgame.exe, the shortcut, or EQEmuLauncher.

Super post GreatDane. This is THE issue exactly!. Now some gem of a person is going to figure out a solution. I wonder how so many others were able to get it working. My machine is fairly new, 8 months. Wonder if it is a 64 bit thing?

09-11-2011, 03:42 PM
Pretty certain I'm running 32 bit XP, and I'm having the same problems.

Are you guys still able to load on other servers with EQ's default dsetup.dll? The one that was in the directory before the patch. If you can it's probably a problem in the code and one of you will have to try and get a hold of Rogean in IRC.

thanks rogean, im completely computer illiterate - same problems as everyone else, no fixes worked. works now! always appreciate the troubleshooting help, id be lost without it =p
greatdane
09-12-2011, 06:08 AM
So... anything new?
Could it have something to do with OS language? We're a few Danes who are all unable to start the game. In the interest of ruling that out, are any of you who still can't play using an English OS?
Wanderfar
09-12-2011, 07:02 AM
I could patch the other servers but could never get the client to start without eqgame.exe had to close.
Going to do a fresh install on my laptop this morning and see how that goes.

Everytime I try to start EQ the game never starts up all I get is
eggame.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d). Click on OK to treminate the application.
I had no problems at all till this last update. I am running Windows XP 32 bit with on board video.

Yeah. It's been a couple of days now and we seem to be no closer to solving that issue. The problem is with the new dsetup.dll which doesn't work. Rogaen linked to a different one, and while that worked for most, it didn't do anything for some of us. If I use the original dsetup.dll from the disc, I can get to char select where it tells me my spell files are outdated. If I use either of the new ones, I get 0xc0000096 or 0xc000001d, seems to change back and forth between the two error codes. I hope the lack of resolution means they're busy figuring it out.

I am having the exact same issue as greatdane.
I DID get it to work on my laptop. So I tried a fresh install of everything. Still cant find the client and crashing with the appl error (0xc etc).
I have no started using the Emulauncher to start the game, I also loaded Duxa's all in one installer and tried that. He updated for this patch and it worked fine on the laptop install.
Current machine is running
ACPI x64-based PC
AMD 760G vid chips
ATI Radeon HD 5700 series vid card.
AMD Phenom II X6 1035T processor

So it's possible that it works with a 32-bit OS but not 64-bit. It's a clue, at least.
Wanderfar
09-12-2011, 11:43 AM
OFG! I FIXED IT.
Researching the error code I found how to review the event log. There is was telling me my Spyware Dr anti virus program was causing the termination. So I shut that down, repatched thru Emulator but rather then launch from the emulator, I just launched the program like usual. PRESTO. I am in the game.
I play on the Project 1999 server, Wanderfar. Hope this works for you guys too!
greatdane
09-12-2011, 12:06 PM
Huh, yeah. BitDefender apparently fucked it up as well, and it's kinda tricky to shut that off. There's an option that looks like it disables the anti-virus, and I tried it without any luck. Deeply buried in a bunch of sub-menus was a way to actually desable the entire thing and that did it. Hah.

I'm having the same problem and have tried pretty much everything in this thread and other threads. I'm running Vista 64-bit and had the game working earlier. I tried to edit the resolution settings in game and it booted me, and I've got application errors ever since. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Disable your antivirus or make an exception for dsetup.dll
