For anyone else looking - you set it on the target of the shortcut (the exe) not on the shortcut itself.

I was having this problem in '22 and just wanted to let people know I went into compatibility mode, set for XP service pack 2 and always run as administrator, solved the issue for me.

It looks like Windows 10 Pro compatibility mode does not work with Titanium. It wont recognize the Launch Titanium.bat file that launches P1999 as a valid program. It will only let me target the original EXE files. Any ideas?
Looks like most problems with new computers is that the original EQ ran on a 32bit system and we all run 64bit now. I always crash when logging off, on a rare occasion it wont crash, but 99% of the time it does. This really sucks when raiding and you need to log for a reset, ect.

Default Fix that works for me

Right mouse click on your Eqgame.exe, click the compatibility tab, Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and change the drop down menu to "Windows XP". Apply changes, click OK.

Set compatibility mode on eqgame.exe - not the shortcut. Also if xp sp3 doesn't work fully, try sp2.

The only thing that finally fixed this for me was moving the game out of program files.
Hasn't happened since

That goes without saying - it's in the instructions to not install there.
