Eqgame.exe Prob - Page 2

killhand · #16 08-28-2006, 10:53 PM

This happened to me after a fresh Titanium install.

I was trying to connect to eqemulator login server. Moved to minilogin and worked perfectly without any change but the eqhost.txt file.
Maybe it has something to do with some server names or the player counter that eqgame.exe cant handle and crash.

Edit - I'm an idiot

Ugg ive had about every error, before they told me i cant patch to live AT ALL and dont add any 0.7.0 files, so i freshly installed it and now i change the host and have the shortcut and when i double click on it , it acts like its opening and gives me an error that says, eqgame.exe needs to close, we are sorry for the inconevinece.

Im having this exact problem. I have made sure to read the wiki 20 times, i have edited my eqhost file to be exactly like it should be. My shortcut is perfect with the patchme in it. I have a fresh titanium pack, unpatched. Whenever i double click the shortcut to enter the game, it goes black, then goes back to the desktop and gives me the "eqgame.exe needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience."

I've tried adding a friends EQclient.ini info (he can get on fine) in place of mine, that didnt help. I tried editing the refresh rate from 0 to 60, that didnt work. i've searched all over this board, and this is the only post i can find with people haveing the same problem... :(

Same problem, eqgame.exe closes but with no error window. It does this under the following situations.

- Computer 1 had EQ installed from way back when I stopped playing. I had up to the Gates of Discord expansion installed. I patched to live then tried playing on an EQEmu server which resulted in the eqgame.exe closing down. It closed at a variety of points anywhere from submitting my username and password to sitting and looking over the server list. When I saw titanium was required I figured that was the problem.

- I uninstalled EQ from my system and got EQ Ti. Installed EQ Ti on computer 1 and on another system that never had EQ installed, computer 2. I was very careful not to start up EQ and allow it to begin patching. Both computers experience the same problem. However it is still random so if I fail to get into a server the first time I can keep trying and eventually I make it in to play.

Following Soulshots suggestion I looked in my eqclient.ini file and changed FullscreenRefreshRate from 0 to 60. I found it in the section named [VideoMode]. Though it seems to happen in windowed and full screen mode I'm crossing my fingers

I'll report back on the results.

Dunno if this is the problem the above 2 or 3 posters are having, but I found on my machine I needed to install the most recent DirectX from Microsoft otherwise my client crashed out as well. try http://www.microsoft.com/directx, click on the link to get the latest, and see how you get on.

Damilis · #22 10-12-2006, 02:33 AM

Whenever I start having issues with a gfx intensive application (aka games) I always start with verifying I have the most up to date version of directX and video card drivers. That makes things work 90% in my experience.

John Adams · #23 10-12-2006, 04:48 AM

Stating the obvious here, but a simple Add/Remove Programs of Everquest Client does not remove every file. Anything digitally downloaded is left behind, as are logs and such. To be safe, ARP your EQ Client, go to C:\Program Files\Sony, and nuke the whole dir completely (save your logs and Screenies!!

)

Then reinstall Titanium. I have always had good results this way. And current DirectX as well (which I think is the solution to the current problems).

Thanks most generiously for the help, the refresh rate had changed. This saved me a lot of time. ^\\\\\^

This is my full eqclient.ini file for you, hope it doesn't scroll the page too much

Rhodan · #26 10-29-2006, 02:41 PM

Well, I was logging in and playing yesterday and this morning. When i got home from work, every time I hit the server selection screen the client locked up and crashed a few seconds later.

Since I already have both the newest video drivers and the newest directx and, I haven't changed anything since this morning, I decided to nuke the client and re-install (nuke meaning to uninstall then manually delete the directory).

Now I crash at the halloween event message that pops up after the login. Simply cannot get past it.

Rhodan · #27 10-30-2006, 02:08 AM

Logged in through minilogin with no trouble at all. Now this morning, I can get to the public LS no problems as well. Tried three times in a row, no lockups etc.

Neisayer · #28 11-05-2006, 01:32 PM

I'm sittin here looking through these threads.. I haven't even tried EQEmu yet but I noticed something I felt I should comment on.

When any windows app crashes and reports a fault at address 0x00000000 that could very well mean that a structure in the app was used before it was initialized. I know this because I'm fooling around with VC++ 2005 Express edition with Windows Platform SDK and DirectX9 SDK and I used to get that error a lot before I realized I was using a structure I created but didn't initialize.

The fault came about when I had a pointer-to-function initialized to NULL in the constructor but I forgot to assign it a value in the init code.

I've never worked with any kind of SQL server so I'm not precisely sure if it uses pointers in this way, but if there is a structure related to the login process that isn't initialized with valid values it's possible that's what's creating this fault.

I continue reading ...

hey guys, ive been having this problem. ive done everything in the post from updating dx, video cards etc..i tried someone elses eqclient.ini and nothing fixed it....but one way i get it to work and this seems odd but when i start in windowed mode and keep the mouse off the window and just use the tab button to tab my way thru to the server select screen, i can get in no problem. kinda odd but it might help some until a permenant fix is here

My guess is that its 99.99% NOT the EQ client and driver issue on your machine. DirectX is one odd beastie. I have having serious issues like this on another game and after the 5th install of DX/VidDrivers, I was ready to scream. Turns out it was a DirectInput error and my mouse driver was the culprit! Think outside the box, try updating the drivers for every item on your machine, then updating DirectX.
