Quick list of things ive tried. Uninstalled and reinstalled in multiple directories via normal EQ installer, installed via STEAM, updated all drivers, complete DDU wipe of GPU drivers and clean install. Firewall excemption. No AV... Windowed ini setting set to TRUE, Set CPU to 1 from -1 High end PC, 7800X3D, 64gb RAM, gen3 nvme, 3090 nvidia When pressing play to select a server my game closes before even getting the loading splash screen. One out of maybe every 30 tries it will work. Any and all games outside of EQ work fine. I out of curiosity moved EQ to a USB drive and launched the exe from there. It works EVERY time... Obviously this isn't a permanent solution but maybe someone has an idea or solution for this!?
Possible solution so far... Installed: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe https://aka.ms/highdpimfc2013x64enu https://download.microsoft.com/down...-82AF-AD2AE20B6B14/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe Rebooted Manually moved EverQuest to C:\EverQuest (copy paste and ran launcher from root) Updated shortcut to use new location.
