Since you are running an Intel, the SP3 update should fix your issues completely if they are multi-core related. Depending on when and where your game is crashing, it could also just be a resolution issue. Try checking the FAQ in my sig to see if any symptoms match your issue closely.

Waiting till next wednesday when SoF comes |
Finally!!
I have found my resolution to this nightmare.
I did every single step followed. I'm running Windows XP Home/SP3 currently. I tried Runfirst.exe I tried Set Affinity II (Set n Get) I tried Process Explorer. Any of those are fine to work to get your affinity set. I currently set mine to core 0. I changed my options to run compatibility mode for Win 98/ME (haven't tried unchanging it at this time) I also made it run in 640x480 (also haven't tried changing it) Believe it or not, what did it for me was actually UNINSTALLING the Dual core optimizer. Now my game is flawless! |
I'm running a gateway with an AMD 64. I am running Vista. I try to run the shortcut and nothing hapens. I did the optimizer with no results and the compatability settings on the shortcut. I downloaded runfirst and still nothing. Any ideas?

I loaded up eq on a laptop that I have and it did ok. all but the mouse not working. If I can I might just try to run it off the lap top.

I have tailor made a tool that may help with cpu issues. It also doubles as a host editor and launcher (ie. no need for a patchme shortcut). Written in C# includes source.

Whole Computer crashes
I've been trying to play EQ emulator but my whole game randomly freezes anywhere from 5mins of play to 30 mins of play. I am currently running an..
Intel core 2 duo SPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz 3.17GHz Mem = 4.00GB On windows vista home premium Not only does my game freeze, but my whole computer crashes and reboots. I have had minimal problems with any other new or old game. I have tried turning of a CPU and also have tried changing the compatibility and had no luck. I also reinstalled the game once to double check. The game runs fine and pretty smooth until the whole computer stops. Any ideas of what might be wrong? |
Wow. Does your computer ever just do this random shut down without playing everquest?
You might have some bad RAM, which did the exact same thing my new computer did once. Might want to take out all but one stick of RAM and see if the issue keeps appearing. That way you can keep switching out the sticks to find out which ones work. If the computer only crashes when you have that certain stick in you know its bad RAM. Also check for any type of malware. Try opening up your system log that will log any system crashes. Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer Let us know if you find anything in there that might look bad. -------EDIT------- Make sure that your system isn't overheating also. |
Mcbaine2,
This is the first time my computer has crashed like this since a last summer. Other things seem to run fine. I checked out the Event viewer and couldn't find anything directly related that I am aware of. I'm not exactly sure what to look for though. |
