Crash sometimes while holding right mouse button
Noticed that I crash sometimes when holding the right mouse button and then moving the mouse quickly to turn. The faster I turn the more likely the crash seems to be. These crashes tend to come in clusters, not uncommon to get 3 in a 15 minute period and then none for hours or days.
Based on the situation that it's occurring in, two things come to mind. 1) Maybe the sudden view change is causing a sudden increase/drop in the polygons sent to the rendering pipeline, more than it can handle in that time period. 2) It could be a bug related to the mouse cursor itself, perhaps in conjunction with using a window whose resolution is "zoomed in" compared to the operating system. Using Windows 10, 4k monitor resolution, EQ in a Window, at 1024x768 resolution. The EQ window takes up about half of the screen area since it is displaying the pixels larger than the monitor's native pixels. | ||

This happens to me as well but only in certain places. Entering OT through the tunnel from SF is a big one. I don't use my mouse when I go through to avoid issues.
Also happened once running up to the gates of Felwithe in Gfay. | ||

Okay so I'm not alone. I've had it happen at the entrance to Upper Guk from Innothule Swamp, and also while standing on the top of a gypsy tent in Oasis of Marr. Plus a few other places that I can't remember.

Look into "installing" dgvoodoo2. You drop a few dll files and a configuration file into your everquest directory and enjoy. If you don't like it just remove the files. This fixed all of my crash issues. I would constantly crash near the vendors in the overthere and a few other places but not anymore when using dgvoodoo2. I used winEq2 forever but crashing in the overthere and losing my illusion forced me to try alternatives.

Yep. Suppose I'll try dgvoodoo as well.
Reminds me of an kernal fault that happened a lot in the luclin erra on AMD, I have all intel, and Nvidia now tho. Used to happen every time in shadowhaven to the right of the port in, spire if I panned a certain way. | ||
