A couple things to try:

1. Right click eqgame.exe, click Compatibility tab, check box Run this program in compatibility mode for: (select) Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

2. Lower in Settings check box Run this program as an administrator.

The issues you have sometimes happen with people who have machines that are very high end. Try these two items to try and clear up what you are facing.


Lastly regarding UI. You have to camp out the 30 seconds to character select screen for your UI file to save. If you just /ex out or /q out or crash out then the UI changes don't save.

Good luck
kk will give it a try

Are you running the game in windowed mode or in fullscreen?
Windowed

The fact that you have a top of the line PC might be a big part of the problem. New OS's and even hardware hate being forced to run old software, which p99 by definition will always be.

P99, by far, runs more stable on an old winxp machine I built in 2004 with some entry level nvidia card than it ever has on any of my more modern systems.
Yea, it is not just P99 buit all freeshard EQ servers. Strange though that EQ Live runs fine.

windowed mode stopped the crashing for me

I'm in Windowed mode

And I have an older Alienware Laptop, runs P99 just fine so it could be this monster of a PC I have.
