Crashing when camping, every time

[Bridgestone]

* Go to eq folder (the one with Launch Titanium.bat in it)
* Find, or search, for eqgame.exe in the same folder
* Right-click on eqgame.exe and choose Properties
* Click Compatibility tab
* Check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for', and choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
* Click Apply button, then OK etc
* Run game using Launch Titanium.bat

Works for me (Win 10 with ssd)

Did this and it fixed crash on logging but created new UI files (lost friendslist, changed my resolution, etc.)

Any fix for this?

Im not sure is this is related either, but I have a vpn that launches on start-up. I took auto launch off and now do it manually after about a minute after start-up. Crash rate is way down while zoning now.

I've had a similar experience with a VPN (tunnel bear) fixing an array of P99 problems.

Mine did that. I went into the EQ folder and went to the eqgame.exe and set the compatibility to Windows XP (service pack 2). It stopped crashing for me.

Sorry, I didn't see this posted earlier!

ok ty. So then we go with Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

I have had this issue for as long as I can remember. Read through this and check marked the compatibility version for eqgame.exe to Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

Can confirm that this does work. I have yet to crash while camping now. It did wipe out my friends list and UI/hotkey settings like it was my first time logging into the characters. The one slight complaint that I have is that now the graphics seem a bit less fluid, tiny bit of choppiness. Other than that, everything works great!!

^ Same thing here

Just installed yesterday (which came with its own set of issues) and this is one of two problems I am currently dealing with. I will try the compatibility mode first, sad that the graphics quality may be reduced though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
