What's frustrating about this one is that it seems difficult to nail down the "outline" of it, and in fact the main thing that seems to link all of us is just that it A) involves application crashes (something I never used to experience anywhere close to this much), and B) it seems semi-repeatable under similar conditions (eg. looting your corpse or falling off a ramp seems to trigger it ... but it's not a 100% repeatable trigger either). Good luck to the devs in trying to track things down with that broad of a bug description [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think if someone told me they crashed every time they went up the aviak ramp, I'd look at them suspiciously. But I swear, my butt puckers every time I do it now because I know that IF I'm going to crash, that's when it'll happen.

Never had any crashed from zoning ever. Today two times while zoning. Something is going on.

Question for people experiencing this issue: you all didn't start using Rustle UI recently by any chance?

I can't help much on your specific crashing issues but if you look in your p99 > Everquest > Log > dbg file you should be able to find a clue as to what's going on.
I also found in the main Everquest directory a file called UIErrors.txt. Mine is empty but it may be checking yours out. Lastly might be an event viewer. Windows has an easy to to check out. Didn't I read somewhere that you're running linux? I know there's something similar for you. Heck, way back when I was running Red Hat (circa 2001 or so) it has an event/crash error log built in.

Only ... that still doesn't explain why the crashes only happen sometimes not (say) every time I loot a corpse.

As to the reason why it's failing, im uncertain. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...turefromfileex particle system sounds server to client Quote:
Like almost every other crash with Titanium client, we can blame the old client and directx. Wish I could have found a solution :|

It's not Rustle UI, its been happening to tons of people, including myself, who are not using it. The crash that seems to be occurring FAR more frequently lately is where the game screen freezes, but you can still move your character and execute commands like /sit, /camp, /q, etc.
I think that many people don't even realize they are retaining control of their character when the screen freezes during this "crash" because the only way you can tell is if you have your audio on then you can still hear the sound effects as the game continues on around you. Its been happening for months, its just more people are starting to take notice now. I never used to crash before, now this screen freeze BS happens all the time and I usually have to /sit and /camp, or just /q. I've tried fresh p99 reinstalls, fresh UIs, checking all drivers, using the setaffinity thing to use a single core, you name it - I've tried it; nothing has been able to eliminate this screen freeze crash though. I will say though that if you are using WinEQ2, the screen freeze will just hard crash the client instantly and you won't hear audio afterwards or be able to move your character or execute any commands. So if you are using WinEQ2 and you are hard crashing instantly a lot more often without the ability to execute commands or hear audio of the game continuing on around you, then try loading the p99 client without using WinEQ2 (make sure its closed completely). You will still get the screen freeze "crash" just as often, but at least this way you can start using /sit, /camp, or /q when the freeze happens, so you don't have to wait as long to get back in game. | ||
