are you trying to load into a truebox server? mq2 doesn't work on truebox

 

[Nedus]

I would double check that your ui isn't out of date keeping you from connecting

if you are running default ui - then you have nothing to update as eq would be updated

if you're running a customui that is out of date, that might cause your issue - as there were several issues with getting to and leaving char select in the past couple of patches with outdated uis

 

[Nedus]

its forsure default UI it was a fresh install of the game

if you are running default ui - then you have nothing to update as eq would be updated

if you're running a customui that is out of date, that might cause your issue - as there were several issues with getting to and leaving char select in the past couple of patches with outdated uis

 

[Nedus]

anyone have anymore ideas ?

nedus, have you joined the discord yet? id like to help.

try loading the game first, then running mq2, will give you an error log/report that can be used to help figure it out

I have tried that I don’t even get a error log when eq is running first it just freezes and crashes

Right, but if EQ loads and you get a character loaded just fine, when you run MQ2, and EQ crashes, MQ2 should kick out a popup with error info and a log

Yeah it doesn’t do that no pop up at all

 

[Nedus]

Is there somewhere else I can post this ?

You haven't done anything besides start mq2 and load EverQuest?

 

[Nedus]

Nothing just those

You haven't done anything besides start mq2 and load EverQuest?

 

[Nedus]

It lets me sign into Everquest and select server then the lord screens come up do their thing and then it goes back and closes no pop ups no errors

 

[Nedus]

Is there a way to uninstall the red launcher and mq2 and maybe redownlod it ?

Usually an instant ctd without mq2 is a uierror. Mq2 causing a ctd is a bad call from something so would need to trim your default plugins down and load in with minimal amount to get into game stable then load the rest of the plugins you want

I have no custom ui or plugins it’s a plain vanilla eq it was a fresh install recently

eskay has it's own UI windows, right?

Disable eskay and see what happens when you load up the game.

 

[Sic]

I would run the eq validate game assets from the eq launcher



I would also double check you have the directx 9.0c june 2010 version of DirectX installed > HERE <

No ui window for eskay that I saw just what it says in launcher

I think it has it's own custom in game UI window but i could be wrong. I've never actually used it.

Go in to you Macroquest.ini file and set all plugins to 0. reload macroquest -> reload everquest.

once in game load up each plugin one by one and see if you crash. keep note of which one made you crash (if any).

once all default plugins are loaded, and no crashes happen, quit out EQ and try to reload the game. You should be ok after that.

it is nearly 100% that it is not the eskay window causing it anyhow. if mq2eskay was crashing you would more than likely get a popup and a .dmp file in your release -> logs

have you checked in that folder to see if you do have any .dmp files? if so pm a couple to me plz

it is nearly 100% unlikely that the mq2eskay ui is causing this issue.

and furthermore - several plugins have their own ui window element - like mq2portalsetter, mq2pluginmanager, mq2mule, dpsadv etc etc etc

it is more than likely a file validation issue, or a directx9 issue.

He's able to play without MQ loaded but crashes with MQ loaded. You're free to think what you want.

yup, and like i said there are several plugins that have ui windows, and until we have gotten to a point that says "mq2eskay specifically is causing this" - which nothing is - it would best help dude if we tried to determine what *is* causing the issue.

@Nedus i sent you a PM check it and lemme know - I have some time available right now and i can help you get fixed up.

ok after remoting-in for the past few hours I have figured out the issue.

it was an eqclient issue causing mq2nav, mq2moveutils and mq2melee to crash

@dannuic had the awesome idea to check keybinds and i was able to demonstrate that backslash being assigned as a keypress to autorun was causing the issue.

removed that and no more crash.

@Nedus do you have an azerty keyboard by chance? french canadian keyboard?

 

[Nedus]

Thank you @Sic
