Ok;
Am getting the message "eqgame.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." It happens when I load to a new zone.

This just started happening. Was playing for hours on Saturday,np, then now it wont stay up. Smiley: motz

I tried the complete file check, but still did it. then reloaded game, but still, it happens.

Everytime I do a complete file check now, I get a new download. It never did that before. ( Do not know if that is relevant, but just trying to add info.)

Went to tech forum, but nothing there helped. Was hoping someone here might be able to help, not sure what I will do without my EQ fix Smiley: grin

Is it one specific zone? If so, delete all of the .eqg files for that zone and repatch.

It may also be that you have multiple corrupted zones (due to a round of bad patches, or failing hardware for example) and need to do a complete reinstall.

If that's the case, just back up your config files and reinstall, test launch it once to make sure it works, then bring your characters config files back in to get all of your friends list's, macros, etc back.

Those are a couple of things to try at least. Good Luck!

Frak;
It seems to happen in multiple zones. Will uninstall and reinstall again and see if that helps. Thanks

No, one was Howling stones, one was befallen, one was the POK, although it doesnt always happen in the POK

Also, I was two boxing when it happened for the firsttime, and was quiting one account( had been buffing with it) and the screen went a little darker, then it froze.

Got back on, played awhile, then it started happening while playing only one account.

Now that I think about it, the loading screen goes a little darker just before it crashes ( like it does when I close out one account while playing another)

May not mean a thing, but maybe that makes sense to you.

There is a fair chance that this is a HD problem. Do a dskchk and allow repair or move file option as you may have a damaged sector. Also do a full defrag.
