I leveled a Mage to 38 and started getting A LOT of these crashes...no warning no error no nothing...so I switched to necro...still happens but atleast while fear kiting you have enough time to LD out before the mobs rapes you...Now if I could only get all the bone chips and weapons I gave my pet back that I lost due to this stupid bug. BTW Never happens on my main (cleric) maybe it happens more to pet classes?

Interesting theory, though I don't think I've noticed any class disparities with it. I don't play any pet classes, but it seems to happen with about the same frequency on my shaman (my main) and my wizard (my alt). I've had it happen on a bunch of other characters too, I just haven't played other characters for as long.

asus G73 series? me too, except I got the updated version with the nvidia mobile 460 GTX and the i7 740QM

I also get random client shut downs.

I pretty much never crash. I've gone weeks without disconnections or crashes.

I can't say for sure if it's definitely a client side issue though. The string not founds being huge negative number makes it seem like theres some memory corruption going on in the client somewhere.

EQ is alive and It's AI is so good that it will crash the game if it has to. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Had an awesome one on the other day. Logged in fresh, walked over to a mob, engaged, twisted into my third song (Bellow), and crashed to desktop. Good thing it was a greenie.

I've been having a shitty crashing problem lately, but only in mistmoore. I'll see what tech discussion can tell me about it.

where do I find the error log or whatever it's called?

You have to hit /log in game. Then it'll be in your "logs" folder.

Provided the systems that are crashing are stable (MemTestx86+, Prime95 on balance for the proper duration, FurMark etc) I think the best course of action here before an all out debugger attachment, would be to get the CPU-Z (cpuid) output from the affected people, notably the SSE extension capability of the processors in question.

A clear-cut example:

An Athlon64 Winchester, will crash randomly with Titanium eqgame.exe
An Athlon64 Venice, will not

The differences between these processors (other than memory controller clock cycles and TDP) is most notably SSE2 vs SSE3. There is even a frame rate difference between the two processors, clocked at equal speeds.

Another issue I've had with Titanium that pre-dates Project 1999; Both InnerSpace and WinEQ2 under Vista like interfering with eqgame.exe's 3D offsets. The transition between server select (or disconnect text, or zoning render surface) often times grayed out for me (and cavedude at the time) under Windows Vista with nVidia 16x.x drivers, and ATI Catalyst 8.x. If you clicked that grayed out window, the exit code for eqgame would be 0 (operation completed successfully) in a debugger. I suggest anyone with older drivers, update to the most recent version they can find, even if it means adding a deviceID to a driver INF. The issue hasn't revisited me since I switched to Windows 7, and it never existed in Windows XP x64.

My client has been crashing (better described as vanishing) periodically since I first installed it. I've noticed that I encounter the problem more frequently in large zones than in small ones and less frequently the more times I've zoned or logged in other characters. Places like OOT and SK are particularly bad for me unless I log in another toon or zone at least once.

Windows 7 + i7 920 is exactly what I'm running on my gaming PC, though I have 24 GB of RAM and an nVidia GTX480 instead of an ATI 5800 series and I'm on the old C0 stepping instead of D0. I've never had a crash or unclean exit on that particular system.

Do you use WinEQ2? My eqclient.ini for comparison:
