I've tried service pack 2 and 3. I never had this problem on blue. It's happening way too often on green.
#Game crash on zoning 1/4 of the time even though I have eqgame.exe set to compatibility mode win xp
hasty jewel
the only real hard fix for crashing issues is using dgvoodoo2, everything else is just a half measure
loud elm
mine says just dgvoodoo on the bottom right, so I'm guessing that's version 1
will try v2, ty
hasty jewel
with program files x86 it is possible to introduce all sorts of variables though, i would highly recommend moving it out anyway
loud elm
good god windows reaaaallly wants to prohibit this file from existing
hasty jewel
also you are patching/editing the eqgame.exe right? not the batch file?
loud elm
yeah the actual eqgame.exe
hasty jewel
it sounds like you already have dgvoodoo, did you follow the elhefe youtube guide or get it somewhere else?
hasty jewel
ahh yeah that will do it
loud elm
should have it figured out soon, ty
loud elm
making dgVoodooCtp run as admin seems to be the key. I hope. 4 zones no crash so far

Your game directory should be in your user directory you have the most ownership that way. Might have to go into properties and unblock the folder as well

Still crashing. I've tried reinstalling everything from scratch. Installed various versions of dgvoodoo from scratch probably 10x by now. Given admin permissions to everything. Made exceptions for dgvoodoo in windows defender.
I know DGVoodoo is installed because the watermark appears and disappears as I change that setting.
What else might be causing regular crashes? Log:
