only on p99 would be shit on your for trying to be helpful, thank you OP for sharing, not many people have been using this great work around. glad someone made a post

I presume this was a jab at my post? Where I reposted for the 10th time what causes this problem which op didnt know or omitted. I also provided additional help on preventing this problem from happening... But because I make a statement about the gross overuse of the term PSA I'm shitting on the guy? ok pal.

If this worked for people excellent kudos to the OP. Now this thread will be lost in time and in 2-4 weeks someone will make a new thread saying they're having this issue and the cycle will repeat. And that's not the OP's fault.

Edit: There is already a new thread about the issue with someone saying this didn't work for them. And I'm not trying to discredit OP, I'm sure this has helped some people.

editedit: I've added some info on the wiki https://wiki.project1999.com/Players...8.29_Failed.21

OPs one trick works good I am not crashing anymore. also the alt enter thing and running on one cpu core.

I don't like wineEQ2 because that adds even more hotkeys I can accidently mash

Did u do compatability mode n limit fps? Those are the only other things I did. FPS limited by video driver dashboard. I did windows xp. Right click the icon for eqgame.exe, run from bat. Also set it to run administrator for all users. Also cpu affinity needs to be set each run.

Sometimes the net code can cause a freeze too if u have a bad wifi NIC with a tendency to reset. I got a good USB one n that helped loads with all my gaming.

That is basically all the juju I did.

Ok can you give instructions on how to "update your Launch Titanium.bat file to 'start /wait eqgame patchme'"? And i tried using the ALT+ENTER workaround, the screen goes black, used ALT+ENTER again and then i get the small box saying "resetDevice() failed!"
