"Memory could not be read"

[digush]

you might have a corrupt or failing hard-drive
WinSFV is a good (FREE) tool to check CRC of files in windows (google it)
if you get CRC-errors on installing the game it's likely a failing hard drive

also, immediately after the crash happens do this:

goto:

C:\<YOUR_EQ_DIRECTORY>\Logs\dbg.txt
-> open this file with note-pad and scroll to the bottom
-> post the last 10 lines here so we can see what's happening just before the crash

Checked memory and its all good, same with my SSD.
Any help available?

I have been playing every day since February. No issues yesterday, go to login today and play and getting this.

So far i've tried a reboot, re-installing the latest update, and the procedure in the troubleshooting FAQ.

I've gotten this numerous times in the past few months.

The fix for me was to replace the Launch Titanium.bat file with a new one from the installer/discs

[Salamarr]

Thank you Eladrial! Your solution worked. I had a copy of the installed game on a thumb drive. I deleted the old shortcut and file in the folder and replaced it with the one from my thumb drive and it worked.

[BadBoy72TT]

Tried what you suggested and its still not working for me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

heres how i fixed it, right click on eqgame set it to compatibility mode windows xp, and toggle the run as administrator box.

then it will finish loading instead of crashing

Why did this just reset my entire UI and all my key bindings, ect? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do you have the game installed in the default (program files) directory? If so, that's because your ini files aren't saved in there due to it being a protected location. They'll be in your C:\Users\<username>\AppData\ folders and you can copy them out of there to restore your UI settings.

I still dont understand how that adjustment is "pulling" a different UI?

See my game runs fine hooked up to monitors. But if I want to play just on the laptop screen around the house, I get the "cannot read memory" error.

But that adjustment of turning the compatibility mode on the EQGAME.exe, fixes it... but it resets my entire UI and keybindings.

I'm still loading the game from Launch Titanium.. so I dont understand how that change pulls an entire new set of UI information.

I did find my UI files in the /user data but I didnt copy and paste them over.

Wait a min....

If my UI files are being stored in /user/appdata

Pasting them over would mean... there is a set being used in my /program files(x84) directory.

Does this mean EQGame.exe is NOT being used, untill I turn on compatability mode and allow authorized user?

How is the game being loaded?


***EDIT***

Wait, I did not find the UI files in /user/appdata

When I searched through there for "sony" or anything related, the files that came back were from my /(user name)/downloads

Which were the ones I downloaded when initially installing the client. So I couldnt find any type of save UI files the client is automatically saving
