Hardware question p99
 

I know this is a 16 year old elf sim running titanium client ... technology has come a long way. My gaming rig is overkill for a game like this. For portability my wife has an Asus X200M small laptop.

Memory shouldn't be an issue. Ram is on the low side for modern rigs ... biggest bottleneck may or may not be the integrated graphics card.

Is this game old enough that a small machine like this could run it without too much of a problem? granted the resolution would have to be dialed down and i suspect spell effects turned down or disabled.

Thoughts?

this will run on a toaster. plenty of people play on shitty laptops

I doubt that u will get an acceptable result as the graphics is integrated into the main cpu which isnt't fast to begin with.
On a sidenote, the Titanium Client isn't 16 years old and it had some significant changes to the original client.
Easiest way is to just install and try it, as you already have the client and the lappy.

This game could very easily run on any laptop/desktop bought at a big box store in the last decade.

Main thing will be to adjust your "Far Clip Plane" option to a very low number.

Everquest: Windows - Application Error:

The instruction at 0x02a045b4 referenced memory at 0x0370f0ec. The memory could not be read.

Click OK to terminate the program.

I get to the server select screen but this pops up - crash before character select.

Thoughts?

I'm wondering if it has to do with the craptastic Intel(R) HD Graphics.
Computer Specs aren't terrible otherwise - especially compared to Hardware from the era.
4 Gigs Ram (3.87 Usable)
64bit OS
1.86GHz

The wife's portable toy laptop really is that - tiny screen/keyboard, no CD drive, super light and touch screen. It's not super old - year and a half tops?

Can be virtually anything, from a virus due to porn download, to bad memory.
Check the graphics settings, in the driver if they are set to "Integrated Graphics Adapter"...

Hope you can get it to work. Technology sucks sometimes gah.

I had this issue, and I believe I fixed it by right clicking on the eqgame.exe, go to properties-> compatibility tab, switched it to win 7 and checked the box for run as admin.

This is not due to the PC's specs its a bug - probably the Win7 compatibility or a .ini issue.

PC is fine. Like the other person said this could run on a toaster (because I have run it on a toaster).
