To fix this problem you must
Delete these files from your EverQuest Directory:
EQMain.dll
EQGfx_dx8.dll
EQClient.ini
EQGame.exe
EQHardware.ini
EQOptions1.opt
EQOptions2.opt
All files in the \Userdata folder
Any file with your Character's Name in it
The zone files your character is in.
I suggest this:
1) Make sure your motherboard drivers are up to date. This may be the most important update of all.
2) End task on all background programs and goto Trend Micro's Site and click on SCAN NOW and run a complete scan on your entire pc.
3) Windows Updates from
www.Microsoft.com
4) Reinstall DirectX
5) Reinstall your Video Card Driver
Do it like this(it must be done exactly like this-yes resets everytime)
Download the directX 9.0b driver and save it. (do not install it).
Okay here goes:
1.) Uninstall the Nvidia driver.
2.) Restart your machine
3.) Uninstall DirectX driver.
4.) Restart your machine.
5.) Install the saved directX driver 9.0b
6.) Restart your machine.
7.) Install the Nvidia 53.03 driver (or the latest for your card)
8.) Restart your machine.
9.) Try logging into EQ
It will work then, worked for me and a whole lotta other people.
The only problem is, now with the new patching you will be unable to play EQ. To solve this, make a backup of your EQGAME.EXE, delete the files above, do what It says to do above, run the patch, redownload the files, and overwrite the new EQGAME.EXE to play with the old servers on EQEmu or you can just Use the Neq EQGAME.EXE to play on EQEmu's test server
