So the game runs fine except when I want to switch characters it crashes 90% of the time. I tried dgvoodoo and it did nothing so now I'm trying compatibility mode winxp sp3 and it solved it.

Only problem is I lost all my UI settings, macros, friendlist, whatever. So I started redoing everything and kinda went "f this" and when I disable compatibility mode I get all my settings back.

Not sure how that works. I know all those settings are kept in 2 ini files named after your characters in the EQ folder but where are the compatibility mode settings going and why isn't it using the same files? Is there a simple fix to this?

Thank you!

To switch to compatibility mode without losing your UI config and macros, back up your settings first, use profiles if available, and ensure the program supports retaining configurations. After switching, check if the settings remain intact and restore from backup if necessary.
