When i log into the game it by passes log in and goes straight to character select, then anything I do gets me this: Fatal Error Everquest II has detected an unrecoverable error and must shut down. <Verify> G:\Live\EQ2\Framework\Core|Devices\Directx9RenderDevice.CPP (15799): 0 00ce3670140234
I would make sure you have the latest driver updates for your graphics card, and try a (re)install of the DirectX 9 runtime. Download the DX9 runtime directly from Microsoft, not any third-party sites.
Per Microsoft's direct download and installation, I have the most current installation of DirectX and no update is needed and I get that dreaded Fatal Error constantly now. Happens most often while in our Guild Hall or when zoning. Is really getting bad and annoying at this point. A Guildmate had similar issues. Only game I have that does this.
More than likely it's because you need DirectX9 it's the only one that works with this game. Even if you do have the newest version doesn't matter you need to download DirectX9 also.
