I'm experiencing almost the same thing(maybe the same). No AV or firewall running. This only started after the latest patches. I have tried launching a config'd group, a single character and launching without login. It freezes at EULA screen for me. Running EQ with MQ closed works fine. I'm trying redfetch now to see if it was an issue with the launcher not picking up all the files.

redfetch made no difference unforunately. Guess I'll have to play the gross old fashioned manual way for a while

I feel like i had something like this happen to me in the past when I had patched MQ, but had not patched EQ, and using autologin to launch my characters...it seemed like instead of getting some game miss match error, it was causing the game to freeze (if I remember correctly) after server select.

This happens before character select, on the EULA agreement screen

if you didn't check some of the other things mentioned in this thread you should.

not sure what that means - are/where you having the same issue?
you didn't provide any information
you didn't provide any steps you're taking
you didn't provide any insight to additional steps

did you check your AV like mentioned in this thread?

are you sure mq is injecting?
is mq2autologin loaded?

I did provide that info earlier in the thread.

You don't have *any* firewall/AV running, so you've disabled windows defender?

Seems ludicrous to me.

I've turned it off to diagnose this issue, yes. Not sure why that is "ludicrous"....

Sic said:
can you show me where you said that mq was or wasn't injecting
or that mq2autologin is loaded?

i assume and get that you're frustrated - but don't be a bad help receiver.

I'm not frustrated at all, as a software developer for 20 years I'm accustom to issues. That said, I did answer many of your questions already. If I try to launch eq using MQ, it will freeze on EULA screen while loading up. MQ2Autologin IS loaded and has been for as long as I can remember, including numerous profiles etc. As for injecting? I can get things to work if I launch eq with the eq launcher and MQ open...but thought this was frowned upon.(tested on unimportant acct) So I assume it is injecting

Having the same issue. When MQ is injected, it freezes eqgame.exe - no antivirus, windows defender off, only started happening after the 1/23 patch.

If this was me I would start unloading plugins to try to narrow down or isolate a possible broken plugin.

Edit: which plugins you load is in the MacroQuest ini (MQ config folder, right click MQ tray icon and find the config folder shortcut there).

I would backup the file or otherwise note which plugins I currently had enabled.

It seems to be related to something that is already configured in my MQ folder. What I did was renamed my \AppData\Local\VeryVanilla\MacroQuest folder to _old. I then used the RG patcher to install a new MQ, and it created the \MacroQuest folder again without any of my settings etc. - so I configured 1 account in autologin, and tried that and it works.

Something inside my old MQ folder it's not liking and freezes EQgame.exe

Yeah, somewhat supports what I'm saying above your last post. (Edit: but not necessarily ofc)

I do not. It's something in my /config folder. I copied the config folder from my _old directory, to my newly empty MacroQuest directory and it freezes eqgame.exe - I'm going to copy other stuff little by little see if I can find the culprit.

Found the culprit. It's something in MacroQuest_Overlay.ini - it's a long file with a bunch of personal data so not going to post it. But seems it's not liking some value in it. I deleted that file and it's working now.

can you maybe truncate it and share (can even PM) something that might indicate what is creating that entry

Ok it wasn't that much personal data after all, I stripped servers and char names.

through Bethania and @brainiac

there is an issue in your overlay where the id and parent are matching
INI: 
[Docking][Data]
DockNode      ID=0xD342E2AD Pos=100,100 Size=480,640 Split=Y
  DockNode    ID=0x00000005 Parent=0xD342E2AD SizeRef=480,319 NoWindowMenuButton=1
