Crashing when camping, every time
 

Just made a new computer, it's working pretty well except for a couple things.

Had to install WINEQ2 so it wouldn't crash while zoning, and it definitely fixed the problem.

But before and after installing it, camping brings up the "Everquest has detected that your client has crashed" or whatever message it is. Every time. Now it's not a huge deal since I can just quick close it and exit out, but for QoL sake and the occasional item swap between characters, it'd be nice to fix.

I also have an issue with web browsing occasionally causing a minute long lock up on my computer, if that adds to any leads

With your browsing issue, id reccomend reinstalling windows on your pc and see and if it still happens, you can rule it to be a hardware issue

right click your Eq shortcut and goto properties and set compatibility mode to xp

Simple, yet elegant. Will try that when I get home from work.

that would be an easy fix hopefully works

Did the compatibility change, still didn't work.

Eventually figured out that the computer was freezing up briefly regardless of what I was doing.

This turns out to be an issue with a mobo needing a bios update to handle SSD's. (If you google SSD freeze a whole ton of threads come up)

Fixed everything in P99 as well as all other freezing.

So Far
 

So far that trick worked for me. Was having same problem-crashing while logging to char screen. Tried it a few times last night and no crashing yet. Will let ya'll know if it crashing comes back.

Nice! Which fix are you referring to? Just asking for anyone who may come across this thread in google searching for a solution

XP
 

Unfortunately, I spoke too soon. Seems to have helped but I still get crash message 1 out of 10 log outs.
Seems once I logged out completely, I haven't had a crash since. Thanks for the tip "right click your Eq shortcut and goto properties and set compatibility mode to xp"

Bump
 

Bump incase anyone has same problem
