Problem - Everquest freezes upon Macroquest injection

[koredan]

I'm having a problem as of last night, just after having macroquest working properly, where Everquest freezes once Macroquest does its injection, or possibly shortly afterwards. Macroquest is fine and doesn't crash on its own. If I force close Macroquest while Everquest is seemingly freezing, Everquest does recover. Just using the 'Launch without Login' option causes the issue.

The Macroquest log isn't giving me much information, it always gets at least as far as "Injection completed" and only during client starting up does it also include up to "Got identification from"

I have attempted with just a single character loaded first before starting macroquest and without plugins loaded though the ini file.

I'm at a loss at what else to try

You're not trying to load mq on an unsupported truebox server are you?

Attempting on Mischief, and it currently crashes everquest before even selecting a server.

Id start with the norm stuff.

Check antivirus isn't getting triggered.
Check you don't have *any* overlays running that might conflict, like nahimi , or overwolf, or afterburner, etc.
Check your vid drivers are up to date.
Check windows is up to date.
Check your eq client that you have disabled the new ui with UseNewUIEngine=0 in your eqclient.ini

Id also make sure you didn't do anything *weird* like try and installmq into your EverQuest folder

Nothing seemingly being noticed by antivirus.
Attempting to run with minimal other programs and still having issues.
Video drivers and windows are up to date.
I had macroquest working fine even with the new ui on, but attempted with it off and still having the same issue.

And no, mq is certainly in its own folder haha.

I finally narrowed it down to something in my MacroQuest_Overlay.ini file. I'm not sure what I could have done to have this file be causing MQ to freeze EQ, but at least for now I let this file start fresh and MQ/EQ are currently working fine.
