Eqgame.exe Prob

soulshot · #1 08-11-2006, 11:08 AM

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.

Success. Thank you, soulshot.

(Fresh Titanium) Change:

FullscreenRefreshRate=0

to

FullscreenRefreshRate=60

Apparently I don't have "FullscreenRefreshRate" at all in my Eqclient.ini ..,
can someone possibly list the entire file's contents?

TinkerNokker · #4 08-18-2006, 05:38 AM

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

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.

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.

rup1033 · #11 12-24-2006, 04:47 AM

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.

This did the trick for me, thanks for the tip... simple, just the way I like em

urban-warfare · #13 10-29-2006, 12:07 PM

Thanks most generiously for the help, the refresh rate had changed. This saved me a lot of time. ^\\\\\^

This is my full eqclient.ini file for you, hope it doesn't scroll the page too much

Rhodan · #15 10-29-2006, 02:41 PM

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.
