Default Random crashes when zoning

Title says it all. Whenever I cross a zone line, it seems about 75% of the time the game crashes. I've tried running the client w/o and w/ WinEQ, but it is possible I've used WinEQ wrong.

Anyone else see this issue before?

How fresh is your eq titanium installation? (out of curiosity)
Sometimes zone files become corrupt for seemingly no reason.

I wish I could tell you. I'm not sure. Is there a fix to that without patching or getting a clean install, assuming that's the problem?

The weird thing is all zones seem to have the possibility of crashing me. No one zone in particular is causing issue.

I just came back yesterday and am having this issue as well. I have played on both a fresh install of titanium, and a compilation p99 install I found that already had everything setup except for me having to update the p99 files. Both crashed equally from what I could tell.

I suspect my abnormally long loading times may be related. Whenever I zone, it seems to be doing nothing for a good 10 to 15 seconds, before the loading screen finally comes up and it finishes loading nearly instantly.

I will give your no loading art suggestion a try and hope for the best! =)

There is another thread posted as well, for the same issue. Seems to be a few of us experiencing it. I originally tried clearing cache and a dns flush, with no effect. I've tried on a desktop and a laptop and experienced the same results. I just tethered one of my laptops and it ran perfectly smooth on LTE. It seems to be ISP related.

Orange county CA here. Just curious, are you having issues with loading pages on wiki.project1999.com?

I think the loading art thing did it. Fingers crossed. Thanks much!
