Anyone else here having this problem using a possibly high latency connection? I am on a wireless broadband connection and it is common for it to have high latency. I have seen some people try to relate this problem with latency so I wanted to throw it out here and see what people said.

Wireless might be where your problem is. Make sure you have a good signal. You can easily drop down to nearly dial-up speeds if you are too far from the wireless point. You also might have a large amount of packet loss on wireless. Try it wired. If you still have the same problem, your ISP sucks.

It's definitely still a problem. It's hard to pin down because sometimes all is well for a week or more of daily multiple logins... then all of a sudden, blammo. A reboot seems to help, but not always. Changing driver versions doesn't seem to help much long term.

I suspect it has something to do with the LS simply freaking out and sending bad data to the client which crashes it on occasion. BUT, since we do not get to peruse the LS code (and for good reason), there's really no way to know.

I've found that this problem only occurs on new login accounts I make. For example, I have 2 accounts that were made years ago that NEVER have this problem whereas a new account encounters this problem daily. Also, if I try to login to one of my older accounts while having this problem on a newer account, I get no error. Hope this helps.

I've been able to bypass the bug usually by fiddling with my resolution settings.. I don't know if that's luck or not.. I also run the game in XP compatability mode (I'm running Vista) and I added "FullscreenRefreshRate=60"
to my client ini file.

Hehe, and the thread roles on despite being almost a year old and having the topic changed a couple times. Nice!!

Actually the thing that seems to work with me.
I cannot use EQEmu's LoginServer for some reason.
I can use Angelox's but not EQEmu's.
Soooo,
Seems I am stuck to one server for now lol.

I had the problem today and corrected it.

I also happen to play Shards of Dalaya and I always run EQ Play nice to on the pc when i'm on it.

I killed this app and now its working fine....
just a thing for someone to try if they fit that bill.

I've tried everything on this thread and still no luck. I want to play this emu. Is this all an elaborate hoax?

So, I had an error, as soon as I would try to open EQ (using a shortcut to c:\eq\eqgame.exe patchme), the screen would flash and go to a black box (the normal startup routine) but just before it took you to the EULA, EQ would crash. I'm running an Acer Aspire 9300 with an AMD processor and NVidia GeForce Go 6100 video card. This is a fresh load of Windows XP SP3, with the latest DirectX 9.0c and a fresh install of the Everquest Titanium client. I had downloaded and installed all the drivers from the manufacturer's website, including the video drivers. I tried to update the drivers from NVidia's website, but it wouldn't let me install them, saying that no compatible hardware was installed. I did a manual driver installation of NVidia's 295.73 drivers by pointing the hardware installation wizard at the drivers folder in the unpacked NVidia files. I can now startup my EQ client and actually get to the EULA, SOE screen, and to the log in screen. It seems like updating my video drivers made it so EQ could work.
