Memory could not be read
 

I'm having an issue which happens randomly. After a random amount of time in game eventually a window pops up saying:

The instruction at 0x00000000CECECECE referenced memory at 0x00000000CECECECE. The memory could not be read.

Click on OK to terminate the program.

I have found many threads pertaining to this issue but all of them are about crashing when opening the game usually because screen resolution. I have tried every fix i found and nothing has worked.

This happens either randomly during play after 10 minutes to many hours or upon zoning sometimes. If this window pops up I can drag it off screen and it will remain while I play until I zone or camp at which point the game will crash.

I play daily but recently came back from a little break the game worked fine before and I haven't changed anything.

System specs:

Intel Core i5 8300H CPU 2.3ghz
8gb ram
Windows 11
Nvidia GeForce 1050 graphics card

New issue found out eq was running on my integrated graphics from the cpu so i disabled the integrated graphics. Now eq uses 100% of my cpu and wont load character models. Not sure what to do about that.

Update:

Fixed this issue by changing windows graphics settings for the program under display and telling it not to use auto HDR. Sincerely hoping that disabling integrated graphics has fixed the memory read issue if i don't post again then it worked.

Memory read error is still happening.

So you want to be a pirate 'eh? Well, real pirates use dgvoodoo2 and CPU affinity:

Trying dgvoodoo2 now although im not sure if I did it right, its quite confusing. Copied all the x86 3dfx and ms .dlls over but i don't see any watermarks or anything on screen to know if its working.

Still get memory read error trying all the x64 versions now. Also yeah i was already using CPU affinity not sure if that actually does anything either.

Still get the memory error, am i using dgvoodoo2 wrong? Any other ideas how to fix?

Did you have any luck getting this resolved?

I get this error under Windows 11, none of the fixes have worked - compatibility mode, run as admin,dgvoodoo2 and Borderless Gaming. Ran out of things to try.

Wasn't there some optional windows patch that resolved issues with win11 and some directx games? I'm still on w10 but maybe someone else here has experience with that?
