I run a first generation 8800gts and a first generation desktop c2d and I get this all the time, seems completely random, though sometimes I get a string of disconnects that makes me want to ragequit. I posted a few months ago and it's basically unresolved still - the only thing that seems consistent is that it is more likely to occur when there are a lot of mobs being kited / nuked. I know when swarm kiting or aoe grouping I crash much more frequently than when I am doing other stuff. Same error messages that everyone else is getting...

Potentially fixed, pending update.

Edit: This only applies to crashes that would spit out "ERROR: String not found (#)" in the log just before the shutdown.

And I was about to give up all hope...

has this update been patched in yet? I have just died on seafury island due to my client just shuting down and dumping me to the desktop instantly with no warning, this is the second time in a few days this has happened and it is really starting to get annoying, it wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have to spend 50 minutes waiting on the boat just to recover my corpse from something that I had absolutely no control over.

not yet!

Ofcourse, fix comes long after I stop playing.

*sigh* I've died twice to this bug today while kiting. It sucks because you die, and have no control (as far as I can tell) of stopping it this bug from happening.

posted this in the other thread, but this worked for me if anyone wants to try it.

My computer has a quad core processor. I start everquest and under the processes tab in windows task manager I change eqgame.exe to run on only 1 processor core. This is done by right clicking and choosing 'set affinity'.

When I do this I have never crashed while kiting any number of mobs, and a couple times I forgot to set it and crashed everytime.
