Memory error when trying to initiate game

[jdklaw]

Ok...

So, I never gave UP!

I ended up deleting the game completely, including all of the regedit info on Everquest. I then followed the resolution instructions located in the EQEmuFAQ:

When I try to open EQ, the window blinks black and then closes and I get an error, but EQ never even starts.
Most likely you are having a resolution or drivers issue. Try adjusting your EQ or Desktop Resolutions or updating your video drivers. It may just be that EQ is trying to start in a resolution that it does not support. If setting your desktop to 1024X768 does not work, then you may need to set it in your eqclient.ini. There should be a file named OptionsEditor.exe in your Everquest folder. Open that program and set your resolution to 1024X768 and see if that helps. If not, run it again and try other resolutions. Once you have it working, you should be able to adjust your resolution from in game and then /camp out to save the new settings.

After this, the game works fine. I believe the problem I was having was that my laptop's recommended setting is 1366x768 and the game only supports 1360x768. This was my resolution error. I had also changed the res settings in the eqclient.ini file and this stopped the game from loading windowed and it would just load into full screen with the unsupported resolution and crash.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, thanks for all of the help!

I am having literally the exact same issues described by Jdklaw. Using the method described in his final post I was able to run eqemu once. Upon logging out however, I am unable to get past the original error message once again.

I have tried changing the resolution to all available options, both on my desktop, in the ini file and in options editor. My drivers are all up to date and I am running it as an administrator. I get this same problem with both UF and SoD clients.

-Edit-

I was able to log in again only after completely deleting everything in my eqclient.ini file and redoing the resolution changes outlined in the post above. While this technically allows me to play, it is rather inconvenient and of course forces me to redo my key bindings etc all over again every time I log in. If anyone has any idea what the problem is here I would love any information that could help.
