Anyone know why maximizing EQ crashes the game?

I had the same problem. Here's what fixed it:
1. Find out your screen resolution with this site (or others): http://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com
2. Follow the instructions in part 1 here (copy+pasted below): http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=94928

"Go to your EQ folder. Find the file eqclient.ini and open it in a text editor (i use notepad, its the simplest to use)

hit ctrl+f, type windowedwidth, you should see something like this:

WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=768
Width=1280
Height=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1280
HeightWindowed=768


change it to this:

WindowedWidth=800
WindowedHeight=600
Width=800
Height=600
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=800
HeightWindowed=600

I'm using 800 x 600 here, but you may need to fiddle with that a bit. If 800 x 600 isnt working, try using your monitors native resolution instead. Eventually, you will get a combination that works, just keep trying."

I went straight to using my monitor's resolution. I hope this helps.

I also cannot see someone's gear when I right click them to inspect (it still /con's them).

Could be that the Inspect window is appearing off screen (the X/Y positions are too high/low for the monitor's resolution). In the uifiles, check the appropriate default.ini file (in whichever ui folder you're using).

You'll see something like this:

[InspectWnd]
XPos1024x768=392
YPos1024x768=0

Change the values to fit.

Borderless Gaming. Play in windowed mode, but it will be full screen.
