eqgame.exe has encountered an error

[chronic27886]

ok here my situation, i have a fresh instal from the titanium cd's. i have not updated my windows xp now any of my drivers. everything is set exactly the same as it was before eqemu went down a few days ago, nothing at all has changed. i havent patched eq at all. i never got this error before the site went down the other day, perhaps just maybe something got screwed up when the site went down? might be something there

OK downloading and installing are 2 different things /boggle


New error since the change in hosting, i guess something is broke and needs to be fixed.

I am sure by now someone told FNW or Doodman, so just need to wait on a fix.

I was having the same problem after wipeing and going back to xp from vista.
are any of you having the problem use a VIA chipset motherboard? after i updated my 4n1 drivers, the game started working again!

here is the link to d/l http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2

Never though of hosting, but I guess that affects the LS too, DOH :>

I actually havent had this trouble until yesterday...
And the only thing I know I did before that is to install the april edition of directx...

And now after that I get alot of SSSE errors over and over again.. And apparently I cant remove the upgrade of DirectX...

maybe this will shed some light into the troubles? Might it be sound issues on the server select or... hmm...

Need to investigate further...

i think the link the post about SSSE errors sounds pretty much what the problem could be as that is exactly when my computer hangs and then after a second attempt freezes totally!

There are so many people getting problems with this could it be something server side? it confuses me that i can connect off of my computer that is hard lined to the web and yet i cannot connect off of my wireless computer both of wich are using the same internet connection*rather boggled*

*EDIT* my hard lined computer has now got the exact same problem!!

any ideas anyone?

This is a very long standing problem, and actually it can be caused by a variety of issues. Some of them have easy fixes like an eqclient.ini change, or forcing the survey, but some are still unknown and have no immediate fix. I have a machine that has been doing this for several months, and at this point I have nailed it down to a hardware incompatibility or a system software issue in my case. The trick is, to keep trying. Eventually (one time I counted near 100 tries) I got in.

My 4 other machines haven't ever had this problem. 3 of them are running EQ using Cedega on Linux, and the last is XP, ironically with nearly identical hardware as the machine that does have the issue.

Consequently, this problem doesn't seem to effect the 0.6.2 client at all. (just to cover my own ass, don't ask about it, you can't have it)

Locking because people arent reading the whole thread, this post from the first page shoulda cleared it up.
