    I keep getting this error on my bazaar trader. It freezes the trader and I have to log back in to kick trader. Any idea what is causing this issue?

    If memory serves me right, This error is generally attributed to either a corrupt ini file or a outdated/corrupt video driver.

    These threads discuss the issue. As Kedra noted it seems to center around corrupt .ini files.

    Have you tried deleting your eqclient.ini file. Before you do, I might suggest moving it onto the desktop and let EQ create an entirely new file. Questions: Does the game run well on another account? Is this a new issue? Does it happen while another account is running? Are your video drivers up to date?

    A few questions there, but the real hardware experts here, and there are a few, will likely want the answers to help you diagnose your issue. Also, have you petitioned yet on the issue?

    Good luck. I have had some odd issues in the past, even some in the game, and finding a solution can be pretty frustrating.

    Assuming no hardware failures. Graphics card not overheating. Power supply output not sagging.

    Then yes. Most likely eqclient.ini is corrupt or outdated driver(s).
