Error when trying to load game

[Ev]

<p>I can log onto my account and update through my patcher just fine, but as soon as my comp goes to launch the actual game, I get a fatal error message saying:</p><p>Everquest II has detected an unrecoverable error and must shutdown. <verify> E:liveeq2frameworkcoredevicessrcDirectX9RenderDevi ce.cpp (1019): DirectX Error. (D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE) I thought it may have been a bad download from the original disc, but I've found this isn't the case since I've tried reinstalling the game 3 times now from 2 different sets of discs and done a full file scan, as well as resetting all of my preferences/game options to default from the Launchpad. I also have patched my DirectX driver and the messages say I am up to date. Why is it I am still having issues loading my client? </p><p>I've traversed the Troubleshooting forums here, as well as checking the screen resolution values in my eq2_default.ini and eq2_recent.ini and nothing has seemed out of order.</p>

I have been having that error as a crash while playing.  That and the E_outofmemory errors....I updated my graphics card in the last month and since then, I have been having these crashes...  I havent been able to figure them out either <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />The dev told me to use a driver cleaner program to clean out my old drivers...  it didnt seem to help, but perhaps for you it might....

After updating to GU44 I am getting exactly the same error (as OP) when trying to log into the game, not only can I no longer play EQ2. I can no longer load <b>*ANY*</b> game I have installed. I have re/installed DX9 and Video drivers.. my other games work again. However, if I try to load EQ2 again.. the same thing happens. Anyone have a fix for this? Please.

<p>I know this does not make sense but i have heard of some ppl deleting the windows update patch ( somewhere around 04.06.08 to 04.08.09) there is 4 of them and it stops the E:/live/eq2 ..... error from happening.</p><p>Couldnt hurt to try... just got to control panel->add and remove software and then just put a check next to "Show Dates"</p><p>Then remove all 4 patches and reboot.</p><p>If it doesnt work windows will download them again and next time your turn your PC off it will auto update (depending how you have you PC setup)</p>
