Surface Pro 3 - trouble getting game to load

[nivikk]

After the login screen, the game crashed during the load to character select with the message:
EverQuest Windows - Application Error
The instruction at 0x02af45b4 referenced memory at 0x036ff0ec.
The memory could not be read.

Click on OK to terminate the program.

Here's what I did:
Updated the SP3 fully
Turned UAC off referencing Secrets in a Surface Pro 2 thread.
Copied my EQ folder from desktop, a slim 1.34GB file that runs swell, to the SP3 to save space.
Made the normal shortcut with the patchme added
Running on adminstrator account and the game normally, and as admin
Matched eqclient video resolutions to match desktop
