random crashing while zoning, higher ms, blank server select!?!

[Tasslehofp99]

Sorry for the delayed response, had to leave for work in a hurry.

I logged in earlier and was able to zone twice without crashing. I camped to char select(just /camp) and crashed to desktop. Then I loaded eq up again and loaded in without issue, tried camping to char select again and this time it worked(/camp again, nothing different from first time)surprisingly. Logged into an ec trader character fine after that, then crashed again when I camped to go to work.

I haven't had issues zoning for a few days now but /camping seems to be causing a client crash most times, I would say 9/10 attempts to camp result in a client crash.

I should note that any time I was able to successfully camp out of game to char select I was in windowed mode and kept the EQ window selected. Following these successful camps I would try again while in windowed mode except I would alt-tab to a different window and EQ crashed while camping everytime. Pretty sure this is just coincidental though as I've crashed trying to camp even with nothing but EQ opened. Also tried in full screen mode, same issue except the screen just turns black and I have to alt+tab to minimize/then close eq.

I've also tried:

/camp server
/camp desktop

Both commands functioned fine prior to the last update as far as I know.

/q also causes a client crash where before it would bring me to login screen.

/ex is currently the only way I can exit eq without the client crash messages popping up.

I've crashed while zoning a few times today, and have now crashed after trying to log in from character select 6 times with one successful login. I promptly crashed again after porting during that one login.

can't remember any issues with camping, but random crashing (which I never did in the past) is really bad right now.

this is prob why the server is going down eh

Still experiencing this issue very frequently even after the downtime today (2/9) probably worse now than it's ever been. I'm crashing 75% of the time when I zone and having to wait for "active character" error when I attempt to log back in. Really starting to get annoying [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Have tried with/without wineq2. Tried fullscreen and windowed. Tried playing with graphics settings and disabling loadscreen splash art. Bunch of different suggestions from posts I saw that said it would help and so far nothing has.

+1

For prolly the past 2 months. Had gotten better past couple weeks. Past few days been rough again

Mine had gotten much better after the patch in late January, and now went right back to crashing on porting to several zones or trying to log into characters in those zones with this last reset.

a fresh install always seems to fix all my problems, which is annoying
