Default Game Crashing after character selection

I can log into the character selection but when I choose a character, it crashes.

Is there a fix?

Might be trying to start the client at a bad resolution. Try running the setup (from the initial page prior to logging in) and selecting something like 800x600 and then you can play around with it in-game.

Additionally, you can rename eqclient.ini to something else (eqclient.ini.old) and the client will regenerate a default one upon logging in.

One of your UI chat windows may be too small, perhaps.
I know that can cause this.

So you may want to also try renaming your ui ini to .bac
UI_Name_project1999.ini
UI_Name_P1999Green.ini

I've had this problem for a couple of days now.

Did a complete reinstall and still not working. I have no character config files for the game to get hung up on.

I can get to character select, but when I click enter world the client freezes up for a few minutes then punts me back to login.

I can log into a character on the red server, but not on the blue or green server.

Eqgame.exe change to run as administrator and run in win xp sp2 compatibility mode. Will reset your ui but fixed all my crashing issues.

My UI was reset because compatibility mode changed the UI location to the EQ install directory

Running as admin with SP2 compatibility. Able to log into red character, but not blue or green.

It is apparently a routing issue. A VPN worked for me. My experience sounds exactly like this one.

That one's on the tech support page too: https://wiki.project1999.com/Tech_Su..._Select_Screen

For the record, there is a non-VPN fix to it ... but as I understand it it amounts to "play with a bunch of settings in your router", and no one has made any kind of guide to doing that, so you have to dig through (other) threads in the Tech forum to find the details.
