Eqgame.exe Prob

[Rhodan]

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.

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

My guess is that its 99.99% NOT the EQ client and driver issue on your machine. DirectX is one odd beastie. I have having serious issues like this on another game and after the 5th install of DX/VidDrivers, I was ready to scream. Turns out it was a DirectInput error and my mouse driver was the culprit! Think outside the box, try updating the drivers for every item on your machine, then updating DirectX.

Hiyas. Im totally new here and just set up everything acording to the guide with fresh install of titanium. But everytime i started eq i would get the ''eqgame.exe has encountered an error'' message before i got to see any real screens. It was getting the error right at start as screen changes resolution. I have widescreen moniter so my resolution was on 1440x900 . on this resolution i would get the eqgame.exe error . When i bumped it down to 1280 x 1024 it works great
hope this helps some of u with the error

I got mine fixed... sort of...


I got it to load after copying someones eqclient.ini in this thread, for some reason I like like 5-6 lines in my ini and that was it.

It does not like to start up in full screen mode at 1440x900 my desktop res, but it will start up at that res in windowed mode... I'll deal with windowed mode as long as it's working
