Game closes down - no error msg.

fugazi · #1 02-25-2011, 06:11 PM

Since Tuesday, when Windows 7 got its first Service Pack update, I've had the pleasure of EQ closing down by itself twice. It simply closes down immediately without any error messages. Oddly enough this has only happened while I was AoE kiting with my bard and had quite a large amount of mobs on me.

So, no error messages and a 'clean' shutdown. No stutters, no jumps in music I'm playing, no connection loss whatsoever. I can log straight back in (to a naked bard).

Happened to me a couple times lately too. Once today as soon as I pulled my first mob lol.

This started happening to me a lot today out of nowhere. It loves to happen right when I pull something while soloing. It's like the game is trolling me...

This is an old bug with the client, which some people get and some people don't. Welcome to the "get" side.

Still no known fix I am aware of...

My client dies about once a day. Tends to happen soon after logging on and during a pull (of course :/ ).

Try changing your EQClient.ini to EQClient.ini.BU,

This will force the client to make a new EQClient.ini file and reset all the settings used by that client while preserving your old EQClient.ini file if this doesn't help so you can revert back to it.

Don't know if this is a fix, but it's someplace to start.

I get this problem very rarely. Maybe once a month. It's extremely annoying.

Same shit happens to me and always during a pull.

Never happens when I don't have aggro (medding, grouped, raids, afk, etc) if that gives any clues.

Glad (somewhat) that i'm not the only one that gets this!! It ALWAYS happens when I am soloing as stated by others. Never ever had this happen in a normal group setting. Which leads me to believe it has something to do with having aggro, OR with constantly moving/looking around while i'm kiting.

Random client disappear while kiting a mob that will beat my ass is sadface irl [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well it's a largely unique issue with p99. Never seen this issue being reported on PEQ.

Are you guys using WinEQ2? I think it sets the CPU affinity for the EQ client and that might reduce issues with the TItanium client which I think came out prior to multi-core CPUs.

No, I'm using the standard Titanium client and I'm running it on a intel quadcore. I never had any problems whatsoever, until this week. The only noticeable change is that I downed the new Service Pack for Windows 7.
