Eqgame.exe Prob

[cricket474]

I've been able to bypass the bug usually by fiddling with my resolution settings.. I don't know if that's luck or not.. I also run the game in XP compatability mode (I'm running Vista) and I added "FullscreenRefreshRate=60"
to my client ini file.

Hehe, and the thread roles on despite being almost a year old and having the topic changed a couple times. Nice!!

Actually the thing that seems to work with me.
I cannot use EQEmu's LoginServer for some reason.
I can use Angelox's but not EQEmu's.
Soooo,
Seems I am stuck to one server for now lol.

I can't speak for everyone, but I now know exactly what caused this crash for me.

Widescreen monitors.

Bumping the res down to 1280x1024 fixes it, but it looks like crap. Did EQlive ever have an issue with this and solve it? Perhaps it's time EQemu looks at moving forward to that?

Actually, you are right. I usually copy my old 1280x1024 eqclient.ini from a backup dir to my eqemu client when I reinstall and it fixes things for my 1680x1050 monitor. Once I get running though, I can switch from windowed and use full resolution and it stays good.

Just to let you know that both my accounts work perfectly and when my friend tries to login he has this problem. So i logged in on his PC with my account and it has worked flawlessly. He then tried on my PC and failed every time.

I have a strong feeling there is a problem somewhere on the logon server side as I have encountered 3 other people with the exact same issue. Regardless of eqclient settings.

There are multiple problems haunting us right now... but luckily I believe some of the resolution problems can be resolved. The survey problem, thorn-meet-side...

[inkubus]

Is this where the client asks you to answer a survey upon login?

[techguy84]

One EQgame.exe crash is. Its due to bad packets from the client and the server regarding a survey that pops up and ask you question like "Is This thing Working" or somethign like that.

The other well known one is due to High Resolution Widescreen Monitors not having there abilities set up in Titanium so you crash out.

So does this mean there's a way to configure the client in game to accept widescreen monitors? I've looked in options, and didn't see anything, but I'm notoriously blind when it comes to obvious things.

Anyone know of a workaround that's not changing desktop resolution every time I want to play?

I have a lappy with a wide screen monitor (1280x800 max) and I just edited all three resolution entries in the eqclient.ini to read 1024x700 and all is well with me.... perhaps that might help ya?

[John Adams]

I do not think there is a "widescreen" option exactly. Just a resolution. Your video card should tell EQ what it's modes are, and EQ should be capable of using them. You might have to enter the game in 1024x768 (windowed) mode at first, then change from within. That's what I had to do.

I have tried all the fixes listed above and I am still having this issue...

quadruple checked all the settings in the eqclient.ini
updated DirectX
updated video drivers
played with color depth and resolution settings
not running a widescreen monitor

Whats going on??

You might try contacting Sony Tech support. Just dont mention that you are trying to connect to EQEmu! This sounds like a sony software issue, not an EQEmu issue....

I've narrowed it down to the fact that if there are too many people logged in it crashes. Simple as that...for me anyway.
