I'm seeing the following Error in the Application Event viewer: Faulting application name: awesomium_process.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4f74efe7 Faulting module name: awesomium.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4fbe641f Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x005a7103 Faulting process id: 0x128 Faulting application start time: 0x01cd49ae81baed11 Faulting application path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\awesomium_process.exe Faulting module path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\awesomium.dllI think it's happening while I'm using the browser in game which probably explains why the browser isn't behaving very well. I did add awesomium_process.exe to the Win 7 Firewall as an exception. I've also Validated Game Assets in LaunchPad. I'll play in Windowed mode or something to see what I'm doing in the browser that causes it to crash.
This may be related to using the DrumsUI Browser which was updated for this patch. May be something else needs to be done to it for it to be full compatible. So far it hasn't crashed using the default UI browser. I am noticing that \mozilla\cookies.txt is no longer being updated. I have to login to every website each time I go in game which is annoying.
It is for your protection. It is a far better enhanced security measure to force you to log in everytime that was should you happen upon a rogue site or just get a drive by install of some rogue keylogger it will have a better opportunity at grabbing your password. At least there is consitency they force it upon us here, use the browser they provide in game and you are gonna be forced to the same security standards on all sites. At least the browser has been upgraded, I don't use the one in game myself but hopefully that at least provides relief for some.
Hmmm.. maybe that explains why EQII Share never stays connected to Twitter in-game (it's un-checked every time). I always have to re-enable it and it's a 50% chance that the process will work correctly. Does stay connected with Facebook though. Well, I like the quick quest and item look-up links of DrumsUI so I use the in-game browser fairly often because of that and I run the game full-screen.

It's not just the UI XML, something's wrong with the actual browser code. I'm betting it's another discrepancy like the one that was causing Flash to crash the browser.
I use Profit and the browser file wasn't updated so I used the new one from the Drums Updater and everything is working fine on my 7x64 system. I just copied the new Drums one into my Profit folder.

Mysstie@Oasis wrote: I found where it is located but it didn't help much. Mine is crashing (though I rarely use it) as well. I'm on 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. By default I keep the Windows Firewall off so the first thing I did after the crash was to turn on the firewall to get the notification so a rule can be inserted. No notification from the firewall at all, still crashes. So I manually added in EQ2.exe, EverQuest2.exe, Launchpad.exe, Awesomiumprocess.exe. Still crashes. Added in the ports directly as a bypass ruleset, still crashes. Changed it from running as Administrator to default setting, crashes. Turned off themes, still crashes. Turned off desktop compisition, same. Changed compatibility to Vista, crash, XP, crash. Checked Windows Update and no updates found even under Optional. Checked for any and all system updates including drivers, only found Java but still.. crashing. Booted into Ubuntu 12.04 and ran it under Wine... doesn't crash and gives a result of 343 under HTML5Test.com. I'm still fiddling as I'm sure I'll find it if it's system related.
Well, after I added an exception to awesomium_process.exe to Windows 7 Firewall manually, it seems to have stopped crashing. I've also updated my copy of DrumsUI browser window so that all the tabs work correctly now: http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/...ead.php?t=16486 For the heck of it I renamed the \mozilla\ folder to \mozilla-bak\ and LaunchPad did re-create it so it may or may not be using some components of that folder. Oh FYI, here's the user agent string the browser has now: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1003.1 Safari/535.19 Awesomium/1.7a Not sure if this affects this browser but the crashing might be related to Flash 11.3.300.257 that's installed which does cause Firefox 13.0 to do a silent crash when closing it if I have Protected Mode enabled (this Protected Mode is only used in Vista/Windows 7 and not XP, more info here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 ). But on the upside, at least the in-game browser does render pages better now.
Mysstie@Oasis wrote: Mine is still crashing. I have the same version of Flash as well. I even went so far as to change the Flash settings to allow local data storage to no effect (not expecting a change as it's a different process). Protected mode in IE9 made no difference on either setting. I had already allowed the Awesomium process. That leaves me with the possibility that I have a setting or file version somewhere it doesn't like. Other things I've tried is to remove all browsers from memory before game client start, shutting down Steam and Raptr (both have overlays), turning off HostsMan. I tend to use a lot of beta software so it's always fun to track down what may be the root cause.

Well, I did get another one at 1:31am this morning : Faulting application name: awesomium_process.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4f74efe7 Faulting module name: awesomium.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4fbe641f Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x005a7103 Faulting process id: 0x1618 Faulting application start time: 0x01cd4ac0803960ab Faulting application path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\awesomium_process.exe Faulting module path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\awesomium.dll Report Id: c41579f4-b6b3-11e1-94cf-8c89a5bf3e81In my case, EverQuest2.exe is not crashing when this happens, just this. It's a silent crash as I don't get an error or anything and EverQuest2 itself doesn't crash. Every once and a while EverQuest does crash when I /camp desktop and I do get an error dialog asking if I just want to close the program or look for a solution then close it. The last time that happened was on 6/7/2012 and generates this Event Error: Faulting application name: EverQuest2.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x4fbec153 Faulting module name: EverQuest2.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x4fbec153 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x005f505d Faulting process id: 0x1908 Faulting application start time: 0x01cd4531894e4657 Faulting application path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\EverQuest2.exe Faulting module path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\EverQuest2.exe Report Id: 84d9f2c4-b14a-11e1-a399-8c89a5bf3e81These were happening before the latest update. Hmm.. I wonder if they are somewhat related because I would generally only get this crash if I happened to use the browser in-game.. at least that seems to be when it happened the most. Since that awesome thing is handling the browsing now, it's the thing that crashes now instead.
I got another one: Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 6/28/2012 2:58:35 AM Event ID: 1000 Task Category: (100) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: (removed) Description: Faulting application name: awesomium_process.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4fe0e9b8 Faulting module name: awesomium_1_7.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4fe0e2ec Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x005a7103 Faulting process id: 0x10f0 Faulting application start time: 0x01cd5503be5f1dcd Faulting application path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\awesomium_process.exe Faulting module path: C:\Games\EverQuest II\awesomium_1_7.dll Report Id: 0f3146ac-c0f7-11e1-8024-8c89a5bf3e81This time I think I know what caused it. It was probably when I was trying to re-connect EQII Share with my Twitter account which will never stay connected. The process would not complete probably due to this crash.
Just a little over two hours ago I was surprised that the game became laggy. I check the frame rates and had dropped down to teens from the sixties. I opened up the task manager to try and figure what was going on and found that the awesomium_process.exe was chewing up a good chunk of CPU cycles (between 25-50%). I've never seen this process until now and after some checking it looks like it gets started / created / updated by the launcher. It seems like EQ2 isn't the only mmo game with this software imbedded into it and related to the in-game browser. As far as I'm concerned this application is classified as Maleware (or even worse Spyware - for it may be monitoring your keystrokes). Does anyone know of a way of disabling this application or better yet preventing it from being installed on the computer?
awesomium_process.exe in the \EverQuest II\ directory is used by the game itself. LaunchPad uses \EverQuest II\LaunchPad.libs\AwesomiumProcess.exe when it's running. They are Chromium based browser executables. The Adobe website thinks it's Google Chrome. The in-game browser uses awesomium_process.exe and the /petition process does as well. Previously, they were using the /mozilla/ based browser in the /mozilla/ directory. You can rename awesomium_process.exe and still run EverQuest2.exe manually but some parts, like the in-game browser won't work.

There is no way to disable it as it is required for the Launchpad itself. Multiple MMOs now use it as does Raptr, Overwolf, Evolve, and various other social gaming platforms.
