I have had this issue for as long as I can remember. Read through this and check marked the compatibility version for eqgame.exe to Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

Can confirm that this does work. I have yet to crash while camping now. It did wipe out my friends list and UI/hotkey settings like it was my first time logging into the characters. The one slight complaint that I have is that now the graphics seem a bit less fluid, tiny bit of choppiness. Other than that, everything works great!!

Yes I also confirm this works. Have been fighting with EQ graphics quality since 2001. Switching back to service pack 3 reduced zoning time and seems to have eliminated crashing, however the graphics are less fluid as stated. It is annoying especially when in first person view and then particularly when turning around. It didnt wipe out friends list for me or hotkeys, but the first time I logged back on none of my toons were loaded. I rebooted and they were back, hump.

Its too bad we have to switch back. EQ graphics on Windows 10 was the best I ever experienced.
