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.

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

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

When the DNS was down for Eqemulator.net, and I used the IP address 64.251.21.39 (from PEQ) it worked everytime. As soon as Eqemulator came back online, I had a lot of problems.

I second that.

EDIT: Nevermind, switched to the IP again to double check and crash. Argh!

Try this;
Find your HOSTS file - in windows its in windos/system32/drivers/etc add this line;

64.251.21.39 www.eqemulator.net eqemulator.net

This will give you a "shortcut" to the server. Only problem is, if they change IP address, you have to know and change too.

[John Adams]

Editing a HOSTS file is always a bad idea (this is why god invented DNS), though it might provide a bandaid, it is not a solution. The real problem exists out of our control.

And you are right, if the IP changes, I can see 20 more threads about not finding the login server.

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

I got it working, somebody posted their eqclient.ini details, I C&P'd sections one at a time.. it didnt work until I pasted the defaults section... I believe it was because it is now forcing the windowed mode, for it to work.
