Request - EverQuest crashing/lagging? Here's how to fix it 90% of the time.

[Redbot]

Before reporting a crash, there are some things you can do to narrow down the cause.

1. Update Very Vanilla through the Redguides Launcher. We release updates fairly often, not just patch days.
2. Run your accounts without MacroQuest2, as the crash may be caused by EverQuest itself.
3. In Windows Explorer, make sure compatibility settings are off on both EverQuest and Macroquest2 (right click the exe/shortcut -> properties -> compatibility)
4. Rename/backup eqclient.ini in your EverQuest directory and let EQ make a fresh one.
5. Exit out of any graphics card, overclocking, antivirus, and EQ-related programs such as Innerspace or WinEQ.
6. Use the default UI. /reload default
7. If available, try to recreate the crash on a different PC.

If you're still getting crashes, here's what to do next:

1. Reply to the thread of the Very Vanilla version you use (Live, Test, Emu) and include the plugin section of your macroquest.ini (right-click MQ2 in your notification area, select "INI File.") Please note that you tried everything from this thread, so we don't link you here again.
2. If you are a tiny bit tech savvy, please try to capture a minidump and send it to eqmule.

THe ones i have turned off, shouldnt affect normal mq2 usage and is what i consider specialist plugins, that serves a specific purpose, and if you aint using it, no reason to have it loaded.
