I have same problem: Screen freezes but I continue to hear game sounds, can sit and camp if it's safe. Alt+Enter gets me back two thirds of the time. If you pause to do that while kiting, you're dead. I read all the forum threads and tried some fixes like adjusting UAC settings to no effect. The freeze situation often also shuts down my monitor's wall paper, the background turns black. It ~seems~ to happen more often after logging in, if I make it to 10 minutes of play it's unlikely. Whether I open other applications, play videos, etc., or just run EQ seems not to make a difference. My GPU is Nvidia GTX 1650 Super, CPU Ryzen 2600X, I'm returning to EQ after a couple years break and this rig is new to the game. I can't say problem is particular to a location, although there some zones where it has not happened. I do not have integrated graphics to try, and have not yet tried dgVoodoo, or winned3d, not sure there is a consensus on them being a cure.
