Game randomly closes?

This used to happen to me all the time when I kited on my bard with 15+ mobs. There are quite a few posts around so maybe some people fixed it. I think winEQ works, I am not sure though.

I've had crashes with WinEQ, also with using the batch file to force it to use one core. I have a feeling using a more modern client such as SoD may be the only way to solve this, shame it doesn't work at the moment.

I also find that WinEQ helps a great deal. But it doesn't entirely solve it.

But I can tell you for certain that I patched with a patcher program that's been posted on these forums, and had a crash to desktop pretty soon thereafter, while running in WinEQ. I went to my Everquest directory right afterwards and used the "Previous Versions" feature in win7 to revert the directory to before the patching. That was the last crash I saw.

A similar thing happened months ago after I tried some things like installing the higher-res graphics files from Trilogy, and generally messing with my client. I went back to a fresh "install" of Titanium that I have archived, and was fine for months afterward. So I think things sometimes do get corrupted in the client for various reasons. Or it could just be a coincidence.
