exact same issue, happened to me 3 times today which resulted in 3 death... It's really frustrating, never had any issue previously on blue (it's happening on green for me)

I know this is an old thread, but this just happened to me 3 times in 20 minutes in Firiona Vie. I seems to happen when I turn quickly.
The game is still running, I can hear all the sounds and I have to type, /sit and /camp then press ESC to get to log in. Sometimes I just /exit. Using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Has there been any progress on this issue?

Seems mostly with newer cards? Have you tried dgvoodoo2?

Is this a reference to the old Voodoo video cards from the 90's? Anyway, I am in woefully unfamiliar territory and am overwhelmed;this seems like a something that should be tried further down the trouble-shooting pipeline. Has anyone successfully fixed this video freeze issue using this solution?

Dgvoodoo2 translates the directx calls to a version that gets along better with newer OS's (and vid cards). To use it, you just put the dll files (for 3dfx) in your eq directory - you'll know it's working because when you next fire up the client you should see a dgvoodoo watermark in the corner (you can disable this via the dgvoodoo config utility it comes with, or just edit the ini file it creates). That's the extent of the installation - to remove it just delete the dll's you copied into your eq directory. You can tweak settings in the config utility, but to start just see if you notice any change.
Does it address the freezing issue? That I don't know, as I don't have that problem; I use it because it works with my old laptop trying to switch between integrated and discrete graphics. If you search these forums for dgvoodoo2 you'll see it pop up often so maybe someone else is more familiar with it. -Mcoy | ||
