    EQ becomes random unresponsive after zoning. I tired deleting EQclient.ini and checking the files. What to do.

    I don't recall seeing or hearing about this specific scenario happening for myself or anyone I play with so all I can do is offer some generic troubleshooting stuff below you can test out & see if it helps, sorry I can't give anything more specific.

    Right Mouse button Click the EQ Icon, select Properties then compatibility then put a check in the box for "disable full screen optimizations" hit apply then run as administrator the first time you log in

    Run a file check from the EQ Launcher

    Download & install a fresh copy of Direct X 9c

    Download & install the latest C++ runtimes

    Check what Graphics hardware you are using & uninstall the old drivers & re-install the latest WHQL drivers for it or a new copy of the current drivers if you already have the latest ones.

    Also rarely causes a crash problem but worth doing anyway for better performance is to add eqgame.exe & LaunchPad.exe to your anti-virus & firewall exceptions list.
