Screen freezing - help
 

Hello,

I am running a Lenovo Legion T5 with an Intel Core I5 2.90 GHz, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Windows 10.

The issue I am having is my screen will intermittently freeze. The character is still in game and moving about however I can not interact with anything.

The character is still accepting mouse inputs however nothing is drawing on the monitor.

If I minimize the window and bring it back up the screen will be completely dark and my only option is to end the task.

It seems to be a graphics card issue and I'm not sure what to do to fix the issue.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I get this too but have found a solution when it does happen. press alt+enter then alt+esc to desktop and click back on EQ app it should be fixed

I had the exact same issue. I began using WinEQ and the problem went away.

Dgvoodoo. Had the same issue and Dgvoodoo fixed it completely.

hi ...

first at all .. you are not alone ... many players here have this screen freeze problem ...

i have this problem not anymore after some tunings i have done here on my 2 computers and one laptop.
perhaps this will help you too ?

-------------------------------------------

1. Serarch in the eq game directory for "eqclient.ini" and change this :

MultiPassLighting=FALSE
ShowDynamicLights=FALSE

2. Start the "eqgame.exe" in compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3 and as administrator.

I play in Windowmode.

I also have some other things done but this dont affect the freeze bug :

If you dont have 60 fps ingame try this :

Open the NVIDA-Systemcontrol and serarch for "eqgame.exe"
Change this parameter(s) :

Mode for low latency = ULTRA

I also change this too:
( vertical sync = ON , Max.fps = 60 , tripple buffering = ON )

i also use some changes here from the froum for Music and Sound and the Graphics :
