ResetDevice() failed!

[koala]

I have a very similar card (EVGA 2070 Super) and I used to be plagued by similar issues. I haven't tried any of the registry fixes you mentioned, but what I can share is that I was able to 100% eliminate my ResetDevice crashes with the following combination:

1. Install dgVoodoo in the EQ folder.
2. Do NOT use WinEQ2 (this is incompatible with dgVoodoo).
3. Do NOT run eqgame.exe under Compatibility Mode (contrary to much advice on the forums, this actually causes an increase in zoning crashing for me under this combo).
4. Run eqgame.exe as Administrator.

With those 4 things in place, I can run at max settings and I never experience an in-game crash. The only time my client will ever crash is when camping, which I have just come to accept and I always /camp desktop anyway. This is a much better situation overall than random crashes while actually playing the game.

My theory is this has to do with DX9 and the Nvidia driver. There are messages in the Windows Event Viewer whenever this error occurred saying that the driver failed and recovered. dgVoodoo seems to fix (or go around) that issue, and the other pieces are basically just required to make that solution function properly.
