Peculliar problem - crash on server connect

[tandcemerson]

Greetings,

I read the other thread that is simillarly titled but I believe I have a different problem though it appears to be the same in many ways.

First of all, I can play live without problems. Also, my two installations of Shards of Dayala work without problem too. I am wanting to try out Shadow Haven which is why I am trying to do this. From a hardware perspective, everything should work well since the other installations are running with no problems.

I've had EQEmu running before, but have since done a re-image. The one big difference I can see is that now I am on DX10 (hate that it is not downgradable), but like I said, the other ones work fine still. I even did a clean install to make sure that everything was good.

So here is what happens: regardless of what server I choose, immediately after I choose one I get an eqgame.exe crash. Unfortunately I can't find a debug file to say what is going on, but it is 100%.

Regarding the thread on dual/quad cores, I am on a core duo system, but when I try to "Set Affinity..." I get an access denied error even though I can get set affinitiy for other processes. I thought that was strange so that may be my problem, but I can't see a way around it.

I think that's about everything I can say and I hope that someone may have some insight into why I am only getting this error for EQEmu.

Thanks in advance!
