I was having this problem in '22 and just wanted to let people know I went into compatibility mode, set for XP service pack 2 and always run as administrator, solved the issue for me.

It looks like Windows 10 Pro compatibility mode does not work with Titanium. It wont recognize the Launch Titanium.bat file that launches P1999 as a valid program. It will only let me target the original EXE files. Any ideas?
Looks like most problems with new computers is that the original EQ ran on a 32bit system and we all run 64bit now. I always crash when logging off, on a rare occasion it wont crash, but 99% of the time it does. This really sucks when raiding and you need to log for a reset, ect. | ||

Right mouse click on your Eqgame.exe, click the compatibility tab, Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and change the drop down menu to "Windows XP". Apply changes, click OK.

Set compatibility mode on eqgame.exe - not the shortcut. Also if xp sp3 doesn't work fully, try sp2. -Mcoy | |||

The only thing that finally fixed this for me was moving the game out of program files.
Hasn't happened since | ||

Necro'ing this post, as it is the first Google/Duck Duck Go result, and if you're dumb like me, did not know how to implement said fix in Win10. I have seen numerous other threads complaining they could not get Win10 to open the compatibility mode, probably because they/you were doing what I was doing; attempting to run it on the "Launch Titanium" bat file with nothing less than frustration, because there is no option to do so.
If you try to edit the "Launch Titanium" file, you'll notice it redirects to "eqgame" or "eqgame.exe". Simply search your EQ folder for this, there is only one such .exe. Right click > compatibility mode tab > Windows XP (Service Pack 3) > ok/accept There's another, much slower way to do this, as well. On your Desktop Search bar/Cortana simply search for "compatibility mode". This will lead Windows to launch an automated program for the process. If EQ does not show on the populated list to choose from, simply select "not listed". It will allow you to navigate to the desired folder. Selecting your EQ folder will give you several options, but we are again looking for "eqgame" or "eqgame.exe". Windows will automatically select Windows XP (service pack 3). It will then force you to "test" the program. Simply hit test, then next, and finally "finish with these settings" or whatever equivalent you have. From now on, when launching EQ, you should be asked for permission to run the program. Over the last 24h, I haven't had the camping crash issue. Hope this helps whatever future nostalgia enjoyer finds this. Edit: I am dumb to not have noticed this thread is already several pages long, this explanation is probably already in here lmao | ||
