Anyone else crashing since yesterday?

[Fry]

I'm really not too sure. I doubt it's the zone files but do a complete file check on the patch server just in case. Also try deleting your version of MQ2 and re-downloading a new version. That might solve the problem.

I really hate blaming these things on something else because it normally is a MQ2 problem but it could be a hardware or video drivers problem.

Since your zoning so fast it could be overheating your video card or something along those lines. Try updating your video drivers.

If I was having that problem, I'd unload MQ2 to see if thats causing the problem.

It it was i'd open up MacroQuest2.ini and start removing all plugins except for MQ2ChatWnd and restart MQ2/EQ.

If it wasn't i'd start on the path of EQ tech support.

I'd check that the video card fan and cpu fan is working correctly and not overheating.

I'd download the latest directx9 and reinstall it. I'd download the latest Nvidia or ATI drivers and reinstall them.

I'd delete those zone files and repatch them. I'd download a fresh version of MQ2 then i'd try and see if the problem is still there on a junk character.

I'd start reading the EQ tech support forum

If I still had problems I'd start running programs to test my RAM/Video Card and CPU to see if they are not faulty.

If you have an AMD processor with Dual Core in it, you need to download a patch for it, not the regular upgrade of drivers, but a seperate patch, it's available at the AMD website.

And that patch doesn't work on all processors, FYI, like mine so I have to set affinity to only 1 core everytime I load EQ, which is extremely annoying.

We ended up getting this sorted out. The newer EQ zones didn't like the onboard video card.
