Crashing ... Often
 

This seems to be happening more frequently lately. My EverQuest client will randomly just crash and close itself instantly. Or, the screen will go black. As an enchanter who charms shit at camps, crashing while doing so has cost me a lot of senseless deaths. :mad: The following was pulled from the dbg.txt file

reinstall directx? video drivers? system build? lol

I've reinstalled Direct X and my Video drivers, and neither has helped.

The clock tool and I aren't getting along. I'm not sure what to modify the "Engine" speed in the clock tool down to. Much less how to make it stick. Thanks for the help though.

This is really starting to become frustrating. Constantly crashing.

Just curious - you tried running it with WinEQ2?
