PSA: Game Freeze Workaround
If you occasionally have your whole screen freeze (but you are still in game, you can hear sounds etc) but your computer continues to function, you are possibly having the same type of issue I have been having. The problem is often manifest in specific locations, like OT ramp, some parts of SS and others. It appears that the signature for these failures tends to be:
1. Windows users 2. Users with nvidia cards 3. Users with resolution above 1680*1050 To see if you are a candidate for this workaround: 1. Start -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> System If at the time of the freeze you see an entry of form: "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." immediately followed by a DistributedCOM, you are likely subject to the same problem I was. The underlying error that is trying to propagate up is usually "resetDevice() failed!" but because of the way the Launch Titanium batch file launches eqgame, there is no host container for com to send the message to over lrpc. If you update your Launch Titanium.bat file to 'start /wait eqgame patchme' instead, your command window will stay open while you play, com will be able to route the message and tdr will be able to do the right thing, which should prevent the freeze. Of course this doesn't fix the core problem which is the resetDevice failure on large resolutions, which is why this is no more than a workaround.

This has been driving me nuts. I cannot wait to test this fix tonight.

ah this might be why people using wineq have reported this problem going away - because maybe wineq opens the game in a good host container

I've had this happen on occasion, and doing ALT+ENTER a few times to toggle full screen mode seems to resolve it after a few tries.

The gross misuse of the acronym for Public Service Announcement seen daily on the internet is disgusting.
That said the OP is not giving all details about this and or it's causes. Quote:

User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode = Elevate without prompting Of course if you're not confident or inexperienced in your computer security this is not recomend because this no longer requests the user to yes/no an elevated program. unrelated but over on TAKP their velious client they modified fixes it self and doesn't have this issue. However I'm unsure if p99 is allowed to distribute a modified client given their agreement with daybreak isn't transparent to the public.

Been having this issue, do I add that 'start /wait eqgame patchme' under the comment section for the Launch Titanium.bat shortcut?
