Additionally, my character lost about 50% of his mana when I logged back in. He had a full mana bar when I crashed.

is there any good fix yet ? Have tried everything on this thread. As a druid who does a lot of porting, im constantly pissing people off because I crash on zone :-(

I run P99 on Debian Linux under a slightly modified wine - crashing while zoning happens occasionally to me, too - maybe once every other day.

More posting to let you know it's not Win7 related - or Vista - as I have it in XP compatibility mode.

Cheers!

I was experiencing the crash on zone loading, wouldn't do anything other then let me move mouse and had to Alt + Ctrl + Del to end game.

Running it on Win7 Premium x64 w/ AMD Athlon II X4 635 Quad proc, 4gig ram, NVidia GTX 465 >_<, I changed the compatibility options for eqgame.exe to: run under Windows 2000 and disable desktop composition

So far havent had any other issues, might work for someone else

I've been crashing while zoning a lot more lately, but I don't think I've changed anything besides downloading the graphics update (here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2482). Is it still helpful to the devs for them to be provided logs and stuff?

I am also crashing EVERYTIME i zone into EC. It seems to only be when I zone into EC though. If anyone can solve this problem that would be amazing. I downloaded EQ Win 2.0 and also tried running it in compatibility for XP SP2.

I tried using EQplaynice and it seems to be working, but I'm also on a different internet connecting right now, so I'll have to try this at home. If it is my router maybe someone can suggest a fix for that?

Yea I have trouble when zoning from Nek forest to EC just hangs there now I have lost my cleric ... Dont know what to do.

Tried deleting and replacing the zone files?

[Gorgetrapper]

I know it's kind of odd, and I've been playing here for well over a year now.. but whenever I try to zone into EC on any character, the zone time is 3-4x the normal amount (regardless of players in the zone), but I never crash, it just takes that long to zone. All other zones are fine.
