I wanted to give another update since my first post regarding my crash situation. Turns out the "solution" I posted turned out to be complete bogus. What
actually worked was deleting the
eqclient.ini file. I noticed a pattern whenever my game crashed, namely that this was the last thing to appear in the terminal:
Code:
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33eee4,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d:wined3d_swapchain_set_gamma_ramp Ignoring flags 0x1.
[ERROR] - Mouse Wheel supported = TRUE
[DEBUG] - LoginViewManager::HandleAction() - the client is exiting for some reason...
I searched the query [ERROR] - Mouse Wheel supported = TRUE which lead me to a winehq comment suggesting deleting the eqclient.ini file which I did. Voila, no more crashes while playing.

Since doing this I've only had a couple of crashes upon launch, but none during playing itself. Why this worked, I haven't a clue. But now I can truly say I'm at it again with leveling. I got pissed off at around 18 when I died 4 times due to multiple crashes, effectively turning it into a hell level :< I powered through to 20 but died again at Cordelia Minster so I quit for a little while because it was getting ridiculous.
I made a new Barbarian aptly named Dontcrash and idled in Halas for a couple hours to make sure my main wouldn't have to pay the price should a crash occur. Needless to say I experienced 0 crashes which made me pretty thrilled. Now I'm level 29 on my main with no crash related deaths at all, purely my own bad gameplay lol. Anyway there you go, I don't know how common this is or if it's just me but I just wanted to share this little story.
