EverQuest has detected that your client may have crashed

[OfficeThug]

I am getting this almost 98% of the time whenever I camp out (I don't /q). There's a few cases where it doesn't happen and it's actually very surprising.

It then leads to Error 1018 if I try to get back into the server I camp-crashed out of to switch characters or log back in the same character. The error reads: You currently have an active character on that EverQuest Server, please allow a minute for synchronization and try again. This has been an issue on both Green and Blue. But I can always log back in after a minute or so.

I'm posting now here because I camped yesterday and the game crashed, and apparently my character didn't get logged out? Because now I get Error 1018 (a full 10 hours later) and can no longer log into Green. Usually it doesn't last this long...

Edit: Just tried to log into Blue, game crashed on logging in a character. I got Error 1018 on that one but it did go away after a minute or so and I was able to log in. Really wish I could fix this issue, it makes switching characters a living nightmare.

Edit 2: After a look around much older threads on the Error 1018 issue, I came across someone reporting restarting their PC fixed it. Sure enough, I did that and can get back into Green. Bizarre!

Sometimes when it crashes, eqgame.exe is still running - and keeping your character "connected". Kill that via task manager (or restart your computer).

For crashing on camping, that's usually fixed via xp sp2 (or sp3) compatibility mode on the same eqgame.exe process.

The client for the game is very unstable.

I crash out of the game to the login screen frequently while loading in a character or zoning. Then after a restart have to wait at the server select screen because my character is still in the game.

I have no idea what happened, but I was crashing from login screen and only after a complete re-install was I able to login.
