I guess we'll use this thread. I'm the other person with the issue (though people have been popping up with this issue and pretty much no resolution for a long time). In the other thread, it was mentioned that this issue is due to the width of the EQ window and playing with that value might help. Doing that resets my UI layout and I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.

I spent some time troubleshooting this issue maybe 5ish years ago and I was able to resolve it. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was with dgvoodoo2 changes, even though that doesn't necessarily line up with my understanding of that utility.

I recently started playing again, fresh Windows install on the same machine, and using the same p99 folder (same eqclient.ini, same dgvoodoo2 config, same everything) and now the issue is back. The only thing I can think of that could be different is nvidia settings, I did a bit of tinkering there but didn't see any improvements.

I'm happy to help troubleshoot again if people are interested and want to collaborate, but for the most part it's not a huge deal for me and I just ignore it.
I have an AMD video card. I was under the understanding that AMD crashes less for p99 for some reason. I tried the dgvoodoo on my other partition, but it didn't seem to take effect and it dind't make sense to me how EQ would even pick it up.

Let's trouble shoot! It is bothersome to me. I have a win 10 partition and a win 11 partition. and I keep install notes so I can do installs the same[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] way.
