Eqgame.exe Prob
Well I've been reading all of the other posts, about eqgame.exe crashing when they try to log onto the game.... Whenever I try to open Eqgame.exe it acts likes it is opening then it just crashes.... Out of know where it crashes. I dont even get to the login screen the Eqgame crashes befor that... I have a 100% fresh copy of Titanium installed... Can someone please help me out? Thanks...
|
Does it crash with a "We've encountered a problem and must close" error? Or just ~blink~ gone?
If the former, you can try looking in your systems Application Log (assuming you are on Windows XP) and see what the red X errors say about why eqgame.exe is terminating. Gotta start somewhere, because "it just crashes" won't help solve the problem. |
Well... I've tried looking for the Application Log in XP but could not find it.. Yes it gives me a critcal error but it doesn't say what it is or give me any more detail... I'm trying to find something more on it... Do you know where the application log is?

Right-click My Computer, click on Manage, then navigate to Event Viewer \ Application Log (also System Log).

Ok the error I got was Code:
Faulting application eqgame.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module , version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00000000. |
I get the exact same thing.
|
i have this same problem with live quite often but if ya use wineq it will fix it usually as i was having this problem trying to do an emu minilog server and wineq fixxed it

Unfortunately, with no details in the faulting modules, I do not believe anyone can say specifically what the problem is. There are a few other eqgame.exe crashes threads here. Check those to see if anyone has been able to resolve their problems with a precise action. I do not think so, though.
Sorry, I thought we were onto something. :) |
Try reinstalling
|
Also I have this problem time to time.
Check and open your eqclient.ini in the everquest folder. Go all the way to the bottom and around there is a Display Refresh statement. For some reason it likes to reset to 0 from time to time. If it is 0 change to 60 and you should be good to go. -Soulshot- Darktides Legit Custom Exp+ Check us out at: http://www.atfreeforum.com/darktides/ |
Success. Thank you, soulshot.
(Fresh Titanium) Change: FullscreenRefreshRate=0 to FullscreenRefreshRate=60 |
Still not working.
Apparently I don't have "FullscreenRefreshRate" at all in my Eqclient.ini ..,
can someone possibly list the entire file's contents? |
Same
My EQClient.ini is as follows:
[Defaults] Sound=TRUE TextureQuality=1 VertexShaders=TRUE 20PixelShaders=TRUE 14PixelShaders=TRUE 1xPixelShaders=TRUE MultiPassLighting=FALSE UseLitBatches=TRUE So as previously mentioned, if anone has a EQClient.ini file with the Display Refresh (i believe it was, at least) if they could send the contents i would appreciate it, as would a few others who have this problem :-) |
i am having the SAME EXACT PROBLEM, in my eqgame.ini file theres just what he said and a little more but none of what the other guy said, it still gives me that error i've restarted my comp. what shall i do!!!!
|
This happened to me after a fresh Titanium install.
I was trying to connect to eqemulator login server. Moved to minilogin and worked perfectly without any change but the eqhost.txt file. Maybe it has something to do with some server names or the player counter that eqgame.exe cant handle and crash. |
Edit - I'm an idiot :)
|
Grrr!1!1!1!
Ugg ive had about every error, before they told me i cant patch to live AT ALL and dont add any 0.7.0 files, so i freshly installed it and now i change the host and have the shortcut and when i double click on it , it acts like its opening and gives me an error that says, eqgame.exe needs to close, we are sorry for the inconevinece.
|
Im having this exact problem. I have made sure to read the wiki 20 times, i have edited my eqhost file to be exactly like it should be. My shortcut is perfect with the patchme in it. I have a fresh titanium pack, unpatched. Whenever i double click the shortcut to enter the game, it goes black, then goes back to the desktop and gives me the "eqgame.exe needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience."
I've tried adding a friends EQclient.ini info (he can get on fine) in place of mine, that didnt help. I tried editing the refresh rate from 0 to 60, that didnt work. i've searched all over this board, and this is the only post i can find with people haveing the same problem... :( |
Same problem, eqgame.exe closes but with no error window. It does this under the following situations.
- Computer 1 had EQ installed from way back when I stopped playing. I had up to the Gates of Discord expansion installed. I patched to live then tried playing on an EQEmu server which resulted in the eqgame.exe closing down. It closed at a variety of points anywhere from submitting my username and password to sitting and looking over the server list. When I saw titanium was required I figured that was the problem. - I uninstalled EQ from my system and got EQ Ti. Installed EQ Ti on computer 1 and on another system that never had EQ installed, computer 2. I was very careful not to start up EQ and allow it to begin patching. Both computers experience the same problem. However it is still random so if I fail to get into a server the first time I can keep trying and eventually I make it in to play. Following Soulshots suggestion I looked in my eqclient.ini file and changed FullscreenRefreshRate from 0 to 60. I found it in the section named [VideoMode]. Though it seems to happen in windowed and full screen mode I'm crossing my fingers :) I'll report back on the results. |
Dunno if this is the problem the above 2 or 3 posters are having, but I found on my machine I needed to install the most recent DirectX from Microsoft otherwise my client crashed out as well. try http://www.microsoft.com/directx, click on the link to get the latest, and see how you get on.
|
Whenever I start having issues with a gfx intensive application (aka games) I always start with verifying I have the most up to date version of directX and video card drivers. That makes things work 90% in my experience.
|
Stating the obvious here, but a simple Add/Remove Programs of Everquest Client does not remove every file. Anything digitally downloaded is left behind, as are logs and such. To be safe, ARP your EQ Client, go to C:\Program Files\Sony, and nuke the whole dir completely (save your logs and Screenies!! :))
Then reinstall Titanium. I have always had good results this way. And current DirectX as well (which I think is the solution to the current problems). |
Thanks most generiously for the help, the refresh rate had changed. This saved me a lot of time. ^\\\\\^

Well, I was logging in and playing yesterday and this morning. When i got home from work, every time I hit the server selection screen the client locked up and crashed a few seconds later.
Since I already have both the newest video drivers and the newest directx and, I haven't changed anything since this morning, I decided to nuke the client and re-install (nuke meaning to uninstall then manually delete the directory). Now I crash at the halloween event message that pops up after the login. Simply cannot get past it. |
Logged in through minilogin with no trouble at all. Now this morning, I can get to the public LS no problems as well. Tried three times in a row, no lockups etc.

Application Log reports fault at address 0x00000000
I'm sittin here looking through these threads.. I haven't even tried EQEmu yet but I noticed something I felt I should comment on.
When any windows app crashes and reports a fault at address 0x00000000 that could very well mean that a structure in the app was used before it was initialized. I know this because I'm fooling around with VC++ 2005 Express edition with Windows Platform SDK and DirectX9 SDK and I used to get that error a lot before I realized I was using a structure I created but didn't initialize. The fault came about when I had a pointer-to-function initialized to NULL in the constructor but I forgot to assign it a value in the init code. I've never worked with any kind of SQL server so I'm not precisely sure if it uses pointers in this way, but if there is a structure related to the login process that isn't initialized with valid values it's possible that's what's creating this fault. I continue reading ... |
hey guys, ive been having this problem. ive done everything in the post from updating dx, video cards etc..i tried someone elses eqclient.ini and nothing fixed it....but one way i get it to work and this seems odd but when i start in windowed mode and keep the mouse off the window and just use the tab button to tab my way thru to the server select screen, i can get in no problem. kinda odd but it might help some until a permenant fix is here

Im getting that same error.
Faulting application eqgame.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module , version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00000000. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. |
Same error
I am getting the same error on both pc's i run. I hope someone gets a fix. i have tried everything that has been stated and nothing work reinstalling now in hopes it fixes it..
thanks Lawless |
Hey everyone, after having this problem for a few weeks. I installed a new video driver, dx9 update and anything including dancing on one leg. I forgot to check one thing. one minor detail that fixes my problem for now at least. i changed in display properties > settings I changed the Color Quality to Medium (16 bit). I have had no problems since then. might help some people
|
The FIX!
The fix for this seems to be to right click eqgame's shortcut and go into the compatibility tab and select windows 98 compatibility mode.
|
hate to double reply
Hate to double reply but it seems that only worked a little while, for some reason now EQ when I load it up crashes again, I just dont know anymore.
|
check the support forums for EQ at: http://station.sony.com/
this is an issue with the EQ client, not the EQEmu server. |
This happenned to me the other day for the first time. Don't know what caused it, but when i shut down my server and tryed again eq fired right up (might not matter but running Mysql 5.0.24). Started server eq errored out again so i rebooted system and not run into the problem again YET. Don't know why it errored out with server running cause i don't think eq connects to any part of the server till hitting the login.

Beating a dead horse
Same issue on two machines now. First one, then the other. I did notice that I had used the "/Q" option to quit out of a few servers which was probably *not* the smartest thing to do, however, my character(s) seem to have stayed logged into that/those servers for quite some time afterwards, at least 25 to 30 minets. I can't say it was any longer than that because the individual on the second computer was tired of waiting on me and exited the game, then began having the same issue as myself. (note: these are two totally separate accounts.) I also noticed that a previously posted EQCLIENT.INI file, although containing the same information as my own, was in a different order. Hmmm...
Now that I am thinking about it, long after I had ended the game and even rebooted the computer, my router was showing information being sent to both computers that had been on-line playing the game...after a reboot, like the server was still sending information to my computer long after I had closed/crashed the game. Router looks silent now, going to try again. Nope, same prob. Guess I'll start with the DX stuff and work my way through... Oh, one other thing, the graphic settings like the high-end models had auto-changed to enable everything on it's own when I change servers....why???? |
It's a Mouse or Video prob..
Okay, whomever said that it was a MOUSE problem was getting close to what might be, perhaps, the real issue. I have DX 9.0c and everything checked out just fine. I switched into windowed mode and noticed, like they did, that when the mouse was left *outside* the box while logging in, it was fine, but, if the mouse cursor was inside the EQ box then it crashed. I also noticed That on the server screen, and this may be of some help, that once the scrolling text for the "expansions" started scrolling by, I could move the mouse freely without any further crashes, but, again, this is in WINDOWED mode. Keep in mind that this was working just peachy for a few days until I changed servers from one of the two "main" servers to one of those hosted by the masses, that's when things went screwy. I did finally get logged back into one of the main two EQ servers and logged back out of the game, changed back into full-screen mode, but again, it crashed, no mouse movement at all, but, because it was in full-screen mode, the mouse was "inside the box"....what choice does it have???? It's in full-screen mode. :P Going to reinstall from scratch and wipe the whole directory out before re-installing so no files linger. I'll post more later.

Did you try the mousefix program that MS had posted for this problem? I remember it was for people who couldn't play Everquest in full screen mode - you installed then, when you ran it, it showed a list of programs to where you could change to "old compaitbilty: mode.
The name is "windows application compatibility toolkit 2.6" - this fixed my mouse problem under windows, your problem sounds a lot like what I had. I have the program, but since it belongs to MS, i don't want to get screwed by them, for posting it. You can probably find it at MS site. |
