Eqgame.exe Prob

[Monza]

I had to change the video resolutions for full screen and windowed mode to match my desktop resolution and color depth (16-bit). Then set the file (EQCLIENT.INI) properties to "READ-ONLY" so it cannot be changed back to anything else. Now I can move my mouse around all I want during login and EQ doesn't crash.

[VideoMode]
Width=1024
Height=768
WidthWindowed=1024
HeightWindowed=768
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=16
FullscreenRefreshRate=60

This has been working flawlessly for a week now so I thought that it was time to update my post. Keep in mind that while the file is locked in Read-Only mode you can still change settings in the game like resolution/color/text/etc. like normal, but you will loose it th next time you run the game. If you want or need to change anything, just undo the read-only attribute, run the game, change what you want, exit the game, *DOUBLE CHECK THE VIDEO SETTINGS* (especially the refresh rate as it tends to get set to zero.) and then set it for read-only again.
I hope this helps others out there.

If you haven't noticed already this eqgame.exe error is one hell of an error. I'm starting to wonder if black magic is involved. Many people have tried to get rid of it but I'm pretty sure only a few have. I'm also pretty sure for some people there's more than one cause for this error.

I posted earlier in this thread and said I'd post back what I found. First, changing the refresh from 0 to 60 in the eqclient.ini file didn't help me. What I post below comes from very many logins to EQEmu since I posted last.

I play EQEmu on two computers at the same time. Of about 12 accounts I often play 7 at a time, 4 windowed clients on the first and 3 windowed clients on the second. Normally the eqgame.exe error comes and goes. When it's 'active' it hits me hard keeping me from getting past the server select screen through many attempts, though using the quick connect button seems to help a little.

I have one account that _never_ has the eqgame.exe error it doesn't matter whether I use computer one or computer two. Another person no stranger to the eqgame.exe error and in another country also has access to this account. They _never_ have the eqgame.exe error logging in on this account.

Recently I spent 2 weeks 100 miles from home. I took my one computer box with me. I never experienced the eqgame.exe error while I was there. For me one or perhaps three days is a long time to go without seeing the error, never 2 weeks. During this time others online would mention how the error was keeping them from logging into PEQ so the error was still occuring, just not for me. The day after I returned home with my computer I began seeing the eqgame.exe error again.

There is also this link to a post on the PEQ forums where I describe the error in detail and another experience with it. http://www.projecteq.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1861

I'm going to go through the threads here on EQEmu tomorrow and try some of the fixes I haven't tried yet. I'll post again if a fix works for me or if I find anything new.

It is a problem with video drivers. I just tested this extensively today...I had to roll my NVidia drivers back to an older release to get it to work.
