Runtime Crash at Character Select

well hell - been a couple days trying to resolve the download problem - have sent a copy of the dxdiag and msinfo files - after having reset internet options after copying the areliseqg file as recommended in one of the forums - I finally was able to get into beta - right at dinner time - went to log in this morning and got the disconnect after hitting beta frm the server selector - did all that was suggested here - downloaded the link - deleted the file frm the eq beta folder and STILL get a disconnect - aggravating that sony cant even make sure that beta downloads before they schedule folks to test it - only thing getting tested here is my patience )

Maybe I missed that part in the last 3 pages, but do you run all EQ executables with Administrator rights?

About that crashing on Beta ... I catched a posting somewhere in the Beta area where a Dev described why you have a good chance to crash in a certain time frame:
Beta patches are a "nightly" thing. Sometimes it can happen the client files patch doesn't sync with the server patch so the client and server files are different versions. User's can't do anything against this issue except to report it in the thread. The Beta developers will adress this issue as soon as they got to work; unfortunately there are several hours between the nightly patch and the developer's work schedule .
So if you experience persistent crashes while logging into Beta, you have to report the issue (if noone else already did) and have to wait until it got resolved.

Besides that, "Beta" is the short word for "We probably will make it this way, test it if it works and report any issues." .

I normally don't but I just tried it, same result.

I just noticed that it takes a looong time between the progress bar finishing and the crashing happening.

Just a last thing, the only other thing I am running is Firefox, nothing else.

FF shouldn't make problems, I use it too, even latest Beta.

Well, without the knowledge to analyze crash logs (despite the fact I don't have them) I've ran out of ideas . Tech's, your turn ...

Any updates on this?

I just tried creating a new char, same issue. It crashes when the char should be appearing in world

This is still happening for me.

From what I have been able to find, it seems that C50 AMD CPUs cause the crashing. I am using a C70 from the same family and I just can't get it working.

Funnily enough, the game runs on the same machine if I run EQ on Linux, so the issue seems to be with Windows.

We had a fix on Test which worked great. But since they moved the code from live to Test to synch them, I have the issue back again.

My apologies. I replied to the wrong thread earlier. I am currently having this problem. I have submitted a ticket with the required information and I have tried all of the steps listed here. Thanks

Any updates on the C50 issue? I'd really like to play on my netbook (bought it with Windows just for EQ).

And again, any news, please?

Just started crashing last night, have not been able to log in any character any server. Can log in from different PC.
Have reinstalled windows, tried default UI, deleted all .ini files....... no success.
Currently downloading a 'clean' copy of EQ.

Angahran,

even if this shouldn't happen with your Graphics card drivers, check Nvidia for newer ones. Yours are quite old (March 4th, 2013).
- Very latest drivers (Beta state) have Rev. 9.18.13.3193 (Nov. 27th, 2013)
- Latest WHQL certified drivers are Rev. 9.18.13.3182 (Nov. 19th, 2013)
--> http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Besides the graphics card drivers, maybe some EQ files are damaged. This can happen e.g. during a power outage when your PC shuts off inmidst gaming or when PC writes any data onto HD. To fix this, do the following:
1. Make a Scandisk / Chkdsk of your HD: Rightclick on it - Properties, Tab "Tools", top area "Scan for Errors". Let the tool do also a surface check if the HD is already some years old.
2. After finished Step 1, do a complete file check from EQ launcher and let the Launchpad replace corrupt files.

Happy New Year!

Clean installation of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Clean installation of Directx9c
Clean installation of latest graphics drivers, v331.82, 11/19/2013
Clean installation of EverQuest onto different HD

Same issue. Crash trying to enter world, any character, any server.
Submitted a ticket with dxdiag and msinfo files.

Update:
Tried different router - No luck.
Tried using wireless connection instead of wired (incase for some reason the LAN connection on the motherboard was messed up) - No luck.

Can still get into world from other PC.

Please find a solution to this.
Can't play on my new Samsung ATIV Ultrabook which is frustrating

OMG!! I found the solution to my crashing.
Did a complete BIOS reset and downloaded new BIOS and i can get in now
(Now if i'd only thought of this before spending 4 days rebuilding windows/eq/etc a gazillion times)

I just bought a new computer and decided to come back to Everquest after a 8 month break. So i downloaded the game, waited 2 days for the launcher and tried to play. Everything loaded up fine and I saw my character and pressed enter world. The loading bar reaches the end and i get the error message of death, my game has crashed. I reviewed this issue with Microsoft and the Everquest support team and was told by both teams that they had no idea what the problem was or how to fix it. Does anyone here know of a solution to the problem?

Sincerely,
Jacob ~ Bamkin(100 Warrior)~ Ginkak(97 Shaman) ~ Quitt(70 Enchanter) ~Povar~

You say its a new computer, have you installed directx 9.0c ?

yes I have all the latest drives, direct X, and have reinstalled multiple times at no avail. Like i said before, i went through most of the easy and common errors/fixes with Microsoft and The Everquest team with no luck.

I am having this issue too, but only when i log out of game and then try to log back in on a different character, i crash every time. I have a lenovo y500 ideapad with 4gig ram and nvidida 750 and windows 8 .This. just started happening around the time heroic's got put in the game. A friend said try deleting log files, didnt work.
