Issue with strange screen-only freeze, but the game continues.

When I toggle it crashes, same for a lot of people.

yup something like resetdevice() failed

If toggling full screen crashes you - change the full screen resolution in your eqclient.ini. It's trying to switch to something either the client or your PC doesn't like.

To what?

[mcoy]

... to something that doesn't crash it. It requires some experimentation as it's different for everyone. Personally, I use:

[VideoMode]
Width=1280
Height=768
WidthWindowed=1280
HeightWindowed=768
WinEQWidth=1280
WinEQHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=48
WindowedWidth=2048
WindowedHeight=1152

On this laptop (MS Surface), but I very rarely play from this system as it's my "work" computer.

I used to get these issues all the time, and then I stopped using WinEQ2.

This fixed that problem, I had my full screen width/height same as my windowed.

Excited to try it out, but issue still persists, zoned into nek foreign and froze, alt entered, and got full screen black, got into windowed, windowed black then alt entered again and ResetDevice() failed. Also I dont use wineq because it's more trouble than it solves for me.

Here is my VideoMode section. Both are set to my desktop resolution:

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=2560
WindowedHeight=1440
Width=2560
Height=1440
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0

I also run my shortcut to Everquest in Windows 10 with the following setup:

Not sure if this will help.

i clicked the box that disables fullscreen optimization and tested my luck at the OT/SF ZL (that's usually where i crash the most), and no crashes so far! I also changed my fullscreen resolution settings in the ini just incase i DO crash.
