This is how you fix the crashes.

1.) Right click on eqgame.exe, click properties, then click on Compatibility tab, choose "Windows 95/98/ME"

2.) Edit LaunchTitanium.bat file to say this "cmd.exe /C Start /affinity 1 eqgame.exe patchme" without the quotes.

The above command specifies to run the game bound to processor 1 (single CPU).
The reason this works is because when this game was created CPUs were still single core, not dual/quad/octa core as they are today. Also you choose Windows 95/98/ME in compatibility because that OS only supported single CPU configuration.

Let me know how it works for you.
Hi,

I made these changes but it unfortunately seems to prevent the game from loading at all. The only other change I see is I get an alert about the file wanting to make changes to my hard drive (something along those lines) when I launch, but afterwards no loading seems to occur.

For what its worth, the compatibility mode I'm selecting is "Windows 98/ME", as I don't seem to have a combined 95/98/ME option. If you think that might have something to do with it please let me know.

Fortunately I only really have one character at the moment so it's not TOO annoying yet as I'm on my way out anyway, heh.
