Still crash 90% of the time zoning

I posted similair issue on the tech forums under crashing while zoneing last or 2nd to last page.

I tried all the quadcore fixes recommended here and emulator forum. I tried running wineq 2 etc etc not of that worked.


For me the solution that fixed my problem was:

1) make sure all program involved to run your eq here run under compatibility mode < i ran under service pack 3>. what i mean is make sure wineq 2 and patcher and your actual eq.exe are all set to run under compatibility mode.

2) If you are using anti virus software with its own firewall play with setting to allow each program you will be using to run eq has full permission AND IF LIKE ME USING MCAFFEE TURN OF NETGUARD IN FIREWALL SETTING FOR EACH PROGRAM TO RUN P1999 EQ.

3) These 2 steps solved all crashing while zoning for me , i use to crash every single time i zoned. even sometime when going from charactger selection to game.

Hope this is some help

This really should be in tech discussion, but if you try the things everyone is suggesting you should fix your problem (ie, try the various quad core fixes, definitely better to run eq off one core in general, and try the fixes posted above in regards to setting compatibility for *everything*, and allowing exceptions in any and all firewall programs your running. I would also suggest setting up eqgame.exe to run without needing the launcher, simply add -patchme to the end of the target line on the eqgame.exe shortcut, this way, the only program you are using to run eq is eq)

If you've done all this and it's still not working, please see my tech discussion FAQ, try everything listed there (whether its in regards to your issue or not) and then go ahead and post a new thread in tech discussion and we will see if we can't dig up an answer.

I'm pretty confident that if you do everything talked about in this thread, however, that you will fix your problem. Make sure all your drivers are updated as well (including your netcard)

Only zone I crash in is EC. Pain in the butt since I port a lot.

Go to tech discussion forums. Then dual/quad core sticky. Like the second post has a link to the EQemu site where you will find instructions on changing you eq shortcut to launch using only one part of processor. This fixed my problem.
