EQ2 closing suddenly

Laevus · #1 08-28-2005, 02:39 AM

I spent two days trying to narrow down what was causing my EQ2 program to suddenly close without warning. Finally after removing all my UI's and removing and reinstalling EQ2 from scratch on my PC I was able to get EQ2 to stay open. Then when I reinstalled EQ2Map I started having the problem again. Basically EQ2 would work just fine for 30min periods and at the end of each period it would freeze for two seconds and close the entire program. Any suggestions? I really love having the maps and would really be a shame if I had to play without them. Thanks in advance.

how would the updater cause it? the updater is closed as soon as eq2 is launched, so im not quite sure how the updater could cause eq2 to close suddenly if the updater isnt even running ??? are you SURE that its not just a coincidence, and really some other problem?

the problem is most likely something else, you should try posting in the technical support forum on the official eq2 boards(make sure you provide all the info they need which is listed in a sticky thread at the top).

as taco-man said, EQ2 updater should be closing itself before eq2 runs. Best way to check is to run the updater, let it boot into EQ2, and on the quicklaunch make sure the eq2updater window is closed.

If it is, press ctrl-alt-del and look in the task manager processes tab. If there is a process called EQ2_Updater.exe running then kill it off and try that, and then we can work out why it isn't closing. If it isn't there then the updater itself simply isn't the problem.

If the updater is closing fine then you might want to look at your UI and the setup of where the maps are being placed. You might have a corrupt file somewhere. Go into the EQ2map updater options and hit the re-download all files button. If that doesn't sort it, try running it without a custom UI installed.

I usually run the EQ2map updater first, then close it when it's done dowloading. I have no problems with it.

you dont even have to do that; did you know it will close itself automatically when you hit open eq or when it autolaunches?
