Crashing when camping, every time

[Stubbay]

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

I crash on camping every single time even after doing the compatibility mode thing in win10

Also, I absolutely hate windows 10. "Let's finish setting up your device!" - NO. Fuck off.
