Overthere crashing constantly
 

I'm not sure what it is about this specific zone, but i pretty much have about a 90% chance of crashing when i zone in from skyfire, or log in a toon that is camped there. First thing i made sure was my game resolution was the same as my desktop resolution is, which it is. My PC is very new, all drivers are up to date as well (Win 10 OS).

It's gotten so bad that last night i got a port to Skyfire, went to OT, zoned in, moved slightly to get into the tunnel and the game locked up. Ok, nothing new there, have to alt+tab, wait and log back in. Got in the game, moved slightly, game immediately locks up. It did this NINE TIMES IN A ROW, i eventually had to just give up and not try to log in.

Here is the kicker. When the game was locked up, i clicked on my buffs to see if i could remove them, nothing. I clicked on my gate spell just for the hell of it, nothing. That last attempt i mentioned above, i logged into the game and i was at my bind point in Neriak, and my buffs that i had clicked on were gone. Even though the game was frozen (locked up), i still managed to cast a spell and remove my buffs.

Can anyone give any suggestions on how to fix this Overthere issue? I can try to dumb down the graphics or clip lane upon zoning in but this seems irrelevant considering all other zones seem to be fine. Is there any video/clipping/in game settings that i can adjust to remedy this? Any help would be appreciated!

I have been crashing on 70% of my zones with the last one being while heading into OT. Now for the last 6 hours I get to the character select screen and enter world and it just gets hung up there. Has been about 30 tries to get in and can't.

I had the same exact issue. I added the following at the top of my eqclient.ini file and I do not crash any more.

CPUAffinity0=-1
CPUAffinity1=-1
CPUAffinity2=-1
CPUAffinity3=-1
CPUAffinity4=-1
GraphicsDLL9=EQGraphicsDX9.DLL

I'll try it. Thanks!

Would the same be true for an 8-core processor or would you add addtional lines up to CPUAffinity8?

Did you try this "fix"? Or has anyone else?

@usbcforme I tried what you suggested, using Windows 10, did not fix the issue.

No luck for me with the fix.

Run the game in 'compatability mode' and set it to Win XP SP2. Fixes 99% of crashes on zoning and logging to character select screen.

You might want to try and reduce resolution directly in your eqclient.ini file (if I remember correctly),starting from the lowest one available, and working your way to higher resolutions until you find the one that keeps crashing

I'm not 100% sure about it, but you may also find some pieces of information in the debug file (dbg.txt or something like that) in your Everquest folder that will help you find a solution to your problem
