Adding a data point: Fresh install of EQ Titanium from the CDs on my 2011 Mac Pro (not Macbook) upgraded to 16GB RAM and 4x 1TB harddrives (only one of which is used for Win OS). It's on bootcamp running Win 8 (which was an upgrade from Win 7 Pro; a decision I regret). Used EQEmuLauncher v1.24 to launch eqgame.exe (with no other modifications), and that's how I've been playing. I have yet to crash during zone, but I see it happening to group mates all the time. Using latest available ATI drivers as of this post. I'm also running i-net through WiFi from an AirPort Extreme router.
As I see it, it's either graphics resources being loaded for the new zone (or unloading from old zone) that crashes clients in which there's nothing P99 team can do about it since it's purely a client problem, or it's a protocol thing (something wonky/unexpected being sent or not being sent to client during zone) in which case it's an EQemu compatibility problem that P99 team might be able to address if it can be figured out.
My random suspicion is that it's the former--graphics resources issue.
