Wow, this crash seems to be pretty epic. Thanks for emailing me the crash log.

I can reproduce the problem. After looking into it quite a bit, it appears to be a vulnerability inside one of Microsoft's DLLs coupled with the long path of the default install location. I'll report my findings to Microsoft since the crash appears to be in a Windows 7 DLL. I haven't tried this on any other OS.

In the meantime, there are the following workarounds:
- If you're crashing when picking a character, try deleting UI/ProfitUI/fonts/*.ttf and adding them to your ignore list. Some of the fonts will use the default, but the game will be playable with ProfitUI.
- Try re-installing to a different folder, like C:\EverQuest II. This shortens the path and should fix the problem.

I tried making my path even longer (C:\Users\jkriegshauser\AppData\LocalLow\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II Streaming Client\) and started crashing at startup, but for the same reason.
