The gross misuse of the acronym for Public Service Announcement seen daily on the internet is disgusting.
That said the OP is not giving all details about this and or it's causes.

This error would be thrown if DirectX failed to reset the Direct3D device.

the client just isn't handling the device reset properly. There's nothing that can be done about that.

It's a flaw of the titanium client.

ah this might be why people using wineq have reported this problem going away - because maybe wineq opens the game in a good host container

Reason I mention using WinEQ2 is that the Titanium client in windowed mode, overall, is about as stable as a house of cards in a windstorm. I couldn't even log into eqemu on my home rig till I got it. My laptop does ok without however.
WinEQ2 Comes with EQPlayNice built in, still. EQPlayNice is what kept EQ from being a monstrous resource hog and tying up a lot of DLL's and processor power/ram back in the day. While EQ was optimized, and it was optimized before Titanium, EQPlayNice worked (and still does work) better than what Sony's modifications did.

I'd like to add that UAC prompts will cause this blackout and you can disable UAC prompts via the group policy editor temporarily. Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode = Elevate without prompting
Of course if you're not confident or inexperienced in your computer security this is not recomend because this no longer requests the user to yes/no an elevated program.
unrelated but over on TAKP their velious client they modified fixes it self and doesn't have this issue. However I'm unsure if p99 is allowed to distribute a modified client given their agreement with daybreak isn't transparent to the public.
