Client Crash Poll

[fischsemmel]

I must have had this happen 12 or 15 times since I made my necro in January. I have, quite surprisingly, only died twice because of this, and fortunately it was while I was still in my 30s.

I wouldn't mind it so much if it didn't cost me bonechips every time. Such a pain to crash when I have a max-level pet, and then log back in and have to spend 10 minutes and half a stack of bonechips to get a pet who isn't minimum level [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It happened twice last night on my enchanter. The first time my animation and I were engaged with 2 mobs. When I returned, I had fortunately survived. The second time it happened when I was looting.

I had a similar thing happen to me playing SimCity 4 last summer. I'd be playing, and the game would just crash. So I don't think this is exclusive to EQ.

The only REAL fix for this I've found.... is to boot my computer into Windows XP instead of Windows 7 before playing P1999 EQ.

If I play in Windows 7 x64 (No SP1 installed) I get random CTD. Could happen twice in one day, might only happen once in two weeks... but it will eventually happen. In XP, I've never crashed to desktop.

Both OS are using the same Everquest folder to play the game.

This used to happen to me a lot. Around a year ago, I'd crash several times a day which contributed to my quitting for awhile. I just came back a month or so ago and have put in several days /played without a single crash until this morning. Soloing the AC room in upper guk, crashed to desktop with no warning, came back dead.

When I started playing again I thought there must have been a fix on the server side because I wasn't crashing any more. Still using the same computer as a year ago, so I don't know why I went so long without crashes and then got one again just now.

This happens to me sporadically maybe once every 4 hours of playing. No error or anything. Just instantly to desktop.

Also, on weekends when the server population is > 400 I lockup while zoning about 1/4 of the time, and have to try about 10 times sometimes in order to log in (various errors at different points)

Never crashed like that;

Windows 7 x64
E8400 core2 cpu @ 3.00 ghz
GeForce 460gtx
4gb ddr2

Titanium.

I run WinEQ2 and have eqgame.exe to run in Win XP SP2 compability mode as administrator. I also installed the cpu fix and map fix from the Duxa package.

Hope this helps.
