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.

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).

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 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.

tallerin · #13 12-24-2006, 02:51 PM

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.

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????

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.
