Game crashing to desktop

[Necroluvin]

Ok....i logg into eq2, get past the patcher, hit PLAY, and it takes me to character select.....i select my character hit play. It starts to load than crashes to the desktop with no error message.    anyone know how to fix this?

Is this happening on all characters or just one character?  Make sure you try a character that's in another zone, even on another server and let us know what happens.

<p>Hi Shadur,</p><p>I have the same problem since last week. All my 3 characters  in in different zones and I can't log into any of them and still waiting for help.</p><p>Chillwinds</p><p>Kithicor</p>

Yup I have been seeing the same thing. But mine has been going on for a couple of months.  If I log into character select and I try to go to Druitz.  The screen locks then after a minute crashes to desktop.  I have been using the autoload feature and just log into another toon immediately.  If I want to go to Druitz I /camp Druitz with no further issue.  But character select has also pulled it on another toon as well. Sooooo I have avoided using Character select.  Odd thing is this was exactly the same thing that was happening to me when I tried to activate the test server long ago.  Its why I dont play on test.

Empty your EQ2 cache folder maybe ?

I've been having this same problem. It makes playing eq2 just about impossible. sometimes it lets me in if i repeatedly try to log in like 20 times, but then i end up crashing to desktop as soon as i zone. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling eq2 as well as triple checking my firewall settings (i still have the problem with my firewall turned completely off). i havent tried emptying my cache... how is that done exactly?

Same thing here.  It all started for me today.  It worked fine on Thursday.  I left for the long weekend, tried to get into game in the morning and same problem.  Exactly as described.
