error message ends eq2
 

Hi!

I play eq2 (with dof, eof, rok) and use eq2map for years now, eq2map 1.0.6 and framework 1.1, no problems up to now.

I saw the new features of version 1.0.13. So I was exited about the new features and downloaded and installed it. But it required at least framework 2.05 - no problem - I installed framework 3.0 as the last official version, because the framework 3.5 was only beta and I don't like beta versions. EQ2map runs with this and I played eq2. After some days of playing the game ended with

Fatal error
EverquestII has detected an unrecoverable error and must shutdown
<verify> E:\live\eq2\framework\render\src\veshader.cpp(8388):m_pPixelShader

Because I thought the problem could be the version 3 of framework, I copied back the last image to my harddisk with acronis true image, so I could install framework 2.05 (so as the version 3 never was there)

It semed to work for a while. Then after some days during the game suddenly I saw elements of graphic missing, so my pet was invisible, I only saw the name, I didn't care about it, but then I missed the tents and a part of the docks in sinking sands as I came there and suddenly eq2 ended with the same error message above again. I don't remember whether both error messages were at the same place in the eq2 game, I think it was at different places.

Because I never before had problems like this, here the things I changed:
I installed eq2map 1.013, new framework version, and because it was recommended for framework I downloaded the microsoft Patches for Windows XP.

My system Athlon 64 3700+, 4 GB RAM, GeForce 7800GTX driver forceware 162.18, creative audigy2zs, windows XP prof SP 2, directx 9.0c

If you need further informations, feel free to ask.

If anybody knows how to solve this problem, I would appreciate all your help.

The .NET framework is unrelated to that EQ2 error message (at least I dearly hope that EQ2 is not programmed using .NET :D).

Not sure what your problem is, but try lowering your graphics quality in EQ2. Many people seem to have problems with the after RoK (out of memory errors, etc.).

Update your graphics drivers, being sure to uninstall the old ones first.

Current drivers are 163.75 (Nov 7). Hopefully that should solve your problem -- most times I've seen errors like that it's a driver issue.

Well, I play eq2 in graphic mode "balanced"

That should be no problem for my system I described above with GeForce 7800GTX 4GB RAM and so on, I can go one step down to try, but won't go to much down because I enjoy the great graphic in the game and without it much of the fun is gone for me

The new forceware 162.75 I downloaded to give it a try, hope it will fix it, but I fear it something has to do with framework, because with the new framework version the problem began

Is there maybe a chance to run the new eq2map 1.0.13 with framework 1.1 although framework 2.05 is demanded?

interesting, thanks

Fatal error crash
 

After I select my toon and hit Play, I get.

E:\live\eq2\framework\core\devuces\src\directx9renderdevuce.cpp

fatal error eq2 must shut down

The only changes I have made to my puter is to install Windows 7 Pro

Help please.
