Eqgame.exe Prob

[rup1033]

The fix for this seems to be to right click eqgame's shortcut and go into the compatibility tab and select windows 98 compatibility mode.

Hate to double reply but it seems that only worked a little while, for some reason now EQ when I load it up crashes again, I just dont know anymore.

this is an issue with the EQ client, not the EQEmu server.

This happenned to me the other day for the first time. Don't know what caused it, but when i shut down my server and tryed again eq fired right up (might not matter but running Mysql 5.0.24). Started server eq errored out again so i rebooted system and not run into the problem again YET. Don't know why it errored out with server running cause i don't think eq connects to any part of the server till hitting the login.

Same issue on two machines now. First one, then the other. I did notice that I had used the "/Q" option to quit out of a few servers which was probably *not* the smartest thing to do, however, my character(s) seem to have stayed logged into that/those servers for quite some time afterwards, at least 25 to 30 minets. I can't say it was any longer than that because the individual on the second computer was tired of waiting on me and exited the game, then began having the same issue as myself. (note: these are two totally separate accounts.) I also noticed that a previously posted EQCLIENT.INI file, although containing the same information as my own, was in a different order. Hmmm...
Now that I am thinking about it, long after I had ended the game and even rebooted the computer, my router was showing information being sent to both computers that had been on-line playing the game...after a reboot, like the server was still sending information to my computer long after I had closed/crashed the game. Router looks silent now, going to try again. Nope, same prob. Guess I'll start with the DX stuff and work my way through...

Oh, one other thing, the graphic settings like the high-end models had auto-changed to enable everything on it's own when I change servers....why????

Okay, whomever said that it was a MOUSE problem was getting close to what might be, perhaps, the real issue. I have DX 9.0c and everything checked out just fine. I switched into windowed mode and noticed, like they did, that when the mouse was left *outside* the box while logging in, it was fine, but, if the mouse cursor was inside the EQ box then it crashed. I also noticed That on the server screen, and this may be of some help, that once the scrolling text for the "expansions" started scrolling by, I could move the mouse freely without any further crashes, but, again, this is in WINDOWED mode. Keep in mind that this was working just peachy for a few days until I changed servers from one of the two "main" servers to one of those hosted by the masses, that's when things went screwy. I did finally get logged back into one of the main two EQ servers and logged back out of the game, changed back into full-screen mode, but again, it crashed, no mouse movement at all, but, because it was in full-screen mode, the mouse was "inside the box"....what choice does it have???? It's in full-screen mode. :P Going to reinstall from scratch and wipe the whole directory out before re-installing so no files linger. I'll post more later.

Did you try the mousefix program that MS had posted for this problem? I remember it was for people who couldn't play Everquest in full screen mode - you installed then, when you ran it, it showed a list of programs to where you could change to "old compaitbilty: mode.
The name is "windows application compatibility toolkit 2.6" - this fixed my mouse problem under windows, your problem sounds a lot like what I had.
I have the program, but since it belongs to MS, i don't want to get screwed by them, for posting it. You can probably find it at MS site.

it is the EQEmu server not the actual game client it has to do with somthing on the server list your all experiancing what is known as the SSSE ( Server select screen error ) the reason some of you find fixes with your mouse that fix the game is because the loading of all the private servers.

When you move your mouse on the screen while its trying to load it will crash , if you leave your mouse not moving it will either work or make the server select screen show up blank with no servers.

Ive been having this problem for a very long time and untill the GMs of EQEmu figure out what is wrong with the server screen nothing you do will permanently fix it, and what is this minilogin ? your all talking about.

Sorry if i sound negative if you get to the server select though and it all seems well dont move your mouse till you see the expantions list start to move or it will crash.

I persoanly dont think the emu client can support this many servers online at a time so if any GM's read this post i suggest highly of taking the empty servers noone plays in offline to save us from this hell.

Just so you guys know, this thread itself started on August of 06.

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.
