Problem - EQ stops Responding after loading RG

- Start date
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

same issue can login EQ but try to use RG and locks up was working fine befor patch
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
This hasn't fixed my issue, still freezing at EULA screen
I've turned it off to diagnose this issue, yes. Not sure why that is "ludicrous"....
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
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

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.
