And another crash trying to log on. I had no issues since before green launched now last couple weeks constant crashing while zoning.

Hmm. you crashed when logging on? Not zoning/camping? Was this a freshly opened client?If not, a little tip, a freshly opened client will always work -- or its never failed me but ive had tons of crashes logging in with an old client I previously logged in with.

crashed when zoning. had to close and open a new client. crashed again. I am going to just reinstall the whole game and see if that works.

nope still crashing while zoning. even brand new clients. Again this just started recently. The game was virtually flawless while zoning since green launched. I've seen many people posting similar crash occurrences. Something has changed in the last month or so.

Hi, I might be having some problem too. I noticed it earlier, in March, and I just started up again. I can zone a few times, fast clean load with no problem, then it'll just crash during a zone (usually it doesn't give a bar, but rarely the bar will load and then crash). I try WinEQ32 or whatever but it doesn't seem to do anything.

The problem is that this is a hard crash. The laptop seizes up so bad I can't Tab into anything else, close the EQ client, or do anything without a cold boot (holding Power until the device shuts off, then starting it again). It's a royal pain. I do know that I'm running it through the .bat file, if that means anything.

UPDATE: Something's wrong now. I thought I ran WinEQ32 yesterday before playing again, was on the Character screen a while trying to come up with a name, and went to bed. When I got on today the batch file asked for Command Prompt permissions instead of the Unknown (or whatever) it usually gives. I tried running through the normal app as well, and it worked somehow once, but when I tried to log in to server it said it did not respond, leaving me at a black screen with white text that I had to cold boot also.

Upon restart, there were updates to run so they went, and now I'm having the same problem. Nothing I do will get the launcher to run, and I don't know what's wrong now. Did WinEQ32 change the path it takes? The prompt is trying to run eqgame.exe through the Windows/System32 folder, but of course the files are not in there. I copied the EQ folder into there, but still no (because they're now in the subfolder EverQuest) so I deleted the copy. Am I supposed to copy every loose file from the EQ folder into the System32 folder? And what if there are already some normal files in there with the same name? Should I restart once again and skip WinEQ? Because I'll still get that Can't Zone crash every time.

The only game I want to play is classic EQ, but all I could do before was hang out in newbie zones killing skeletons and bats (since no gear/spells means you can kill nothing else) but now I can't even do that, let alone the original constant zone crashing problem. >_<
