Game crashes on Exit (camping)...
 

New user here, let me start by saying THIS IS AWESOME!! Loving the project - thank you to everyone who has and is making this possible....

My apologies if I am repeating a post. I have checked the technical threads to no avail...

When I go to log out for the night, I camp. The game ends like normal but when I get to my desktop I have a crash error message on screen (your client has crashed, may we send information to sony, ect...)

Then, when relaunching the game, I have to delete my eq.ini file to get it to start again, or I can never get off of the character select screen...

Of course, after doing this, when I get back into the game I have to reset all of my options (video mode, keys, window positions and colors)...

Is this a known issue or is something just wrong with my setup?

Any advice would be appreciated...

Set eqgame.exe compatibility mode to Windows XP

Thank you for this, again sorry for my (now obviously) redundant post!... :)

Thank you Kav, been having this issue for weeks as well and this just fixed it.

And how exactly do you do this?

Are you guys using Windows 7 or something to "fix" this? Cause on Win 10, this does not fix the game crashing on exit.

I'm on Win 10, game is not installed in a protected directory, runs as admin, and eqgame.exe is set to XP SP2 and I have no issues zoning / camping. Sometimes /camp desktop will take me to login instead of all the way out, but hitting ESC a couple times exits the game completely.

I have this error as well, running the .bat file of course, and when I Camp Out for the session it goes black and then crashes. I'm using Windows 7 I think, and I can't get back to the character screen (I like to switch around a lot for variety).

Hi, thought I posted last night. I have the same problem, crashing on exit. I think I'm on Windows 7, but of course I'm running the .bat file and not an exe. I don't know how to set it for what others are talking about.

There was one instance where (I play in Full Screen, by the way) I swapped to Windowed just as I was camping to see if it would change, and it did bring me back to the character select screen. Perhaps that has something to do with it? I would like not to have to bother, but if it's unavoidable I suppose I'll have to adapt.

I've been trying this trick with no luck; no matter if it's full-screen or window, it kicks me out to desktop. I went into Settings for the file I run, but found no way to make it compatible with anything, so if there's any advice people have I'm willing to try anything.
