Using Slash Commands Closes EQ2

    For a while now every now and again when I hit "/" the game closes, or if I click in a text field, like searching the broker. I'll log out one day with /camp desktop and the next day I open EQ2, and the moment I type / the game window closes.
    I tried different accounts/toons/servers, it's always the same once it starts. Uninstalling and reinstalling only works if I dump everything in the PAKS folder and start over. As soon as I do that, I'll be good for a bit. Sometimes days sometimes weeks.
    Has anyone else ever run across it, and have you isolated a file that could be doing that? My *.ini files stay, I am only replacing the PAK files with a new download. I've also tried validating the game files, it finds one file with an issue, replaces it, but it doesn't fix the problem.

    EQ2 Button >> Options >> Controls >> Chat Keys. "Begin Command" should be mapped to /

    EQ2 Button >> Options >> Controls >> Window Keys. Make sure nothing in this section is mapped to /

    Thanks, but yeah that's not it, I've been playing for many years, and this just started happening recently and it's intermittent. So it's not a setting in options. I do wish it was that easy, though. :)
