Looking into the Event viewer, there seems to be an issue with DSETUP.dll (surprise surprise) that's causing this. Here's the details from Event viewer: Faulting application name: eqgame.exe, version: 0.0.0.0 Faulting module name: DSETUP.dll, version 3.49.0.0 Exception code: 0xc000001d | |||

I don't use AV or Firewalls for this since it's on it's own network. It's the DSETUP.dll that is causing issues with these machines. Is there a specific requirement for the latest version in the patch notes? I was able to replace it with an old DSETUP.dll from Joe Leonard's Getting Started YouTube video and it launched fine, simply just said my spell files need updated. Any reason there is such a huge difference in file size (96kb vs 3400kb)? That seems huge for a DLL file, but what do I know. Either way I still can't launch the client with the latest patch due to the DSETUP.dll.
I'd be curious of anyone else has actually run the latest version with any of the following as I get a very similar error. I have installed all of the latest C++ runtimes. .NET, and DirectX on each system as needed. All are x86 as I'n running a 440BX board. I don't run firewalls or any AV on any of these systems. I should also note that I've tried fresh installs/updates with each of these OSs and have not installed any other games/software while trying to get this to work. Windows 98 SE Windows XP SP3 Windows Vista Windows 7 Super Lite Anyone we can call in here with a Bat signal? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Thanks! | ||

Correct. I am able to boot to the character selection screen with the old DLL.

Interesting - you may want to start a new thread asking about the DLL and Windows XP so the admins see it, or try asking about it in the discord channel. Wish I knew what change on my XP box is allowing it to function normally. I'm waiting for a new external hdd to arrive and then I plan on P2V'ing that box so I can try using process explorer and see what EQ is touching and maybe get a better idea. Will report back in a couple days.

Thanks, is there a section that I missed where I can submit a bug report for consideration for the next release? In the meantime I am going to decompile this DLL and try to get to the bottom of this.

There's a bug report section of the forum at the bottom of the main forum page, but I've no idea how you'd classify a compatibility issue with the options provided:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6 My drive arrived today, but unfortunately I cannot get my Win10 system to connect to my XP laptop despite enabling smbv1, various old protocols and ciphers, etc; so now it's running over USB 2.0 to p2v. Looks like it's going to be about 5 hours to finish, so I'll mess with it tomorrow. -Mcoy | ||

if you are using old hardware and old windows software, i would use a Linux os over old windows any day. if you are wondering about compatibility issues, there is almost none.
the wiki has a guide for you. https://wiki.project1999.com/EverQuest_in_Linux_Guide the winecfg can set your windows version to XP if you like but not necessary. ubuntu and debian have recent releases that will support your hardware. i am also using linux and i am willing to assist you in your adventure. | ||
