Ok, let's see if I've missed something.
Problem: trying to start the game gives me the (0xc0000096) error.
Notes:
- Not caused by EQEmuLauncher. It did that before I installed the launcher, and still does after.
- The launcher seems to have its own problems anyway as it wants to patch 28 files every time I try to log on.
- Error occurs whether I run the launcher or the eqgame.exe -patchme shortcut.
Tried:
- Deleting wsock32, dsetup.dll, eqgame.dll. Didn't fix it.
- Tried copying over a fresh install of the game that I have on an external drive and frequently use. I've done this about half a dozen times, simply copy-pasting the EverQuest directory onto my desktop. You don't need to actually install the game. A new, freshly patched (to V14) copy gets the error as well.
- That screen resolution thing made no difference.
- The new dsetup.dll provided by Rogean made no difference.
- Updating .NET framework made no difference, and I'm pretty sure I had 3.5 in the first place.
Edit: dsetup.dll appears to be the problem. If I delete it and try to run eqgame.exe (not the patchme shortcut), it says it won't run because dsetup.dll is missing. If I put dsetup.dll back into the directory, I get the (0xc0000096) error when trying to run the game whether from eqgame.exe, the shortcut, or EQEmuLauncher.
