<p>Earlier today, I could play EQ2 just fine. Then I logged out when prompted for the patch today (about 1:15 Pacific Time). Once servers were back up, I could start the game, but would crash to blue screen when I tried to load a character. Some problems with nv4_disp and a continual loop. My wife worked on the computer for me, updating the graphics driver, unloading the driver, reloading it, repeat, updating Direct X, etc. </p><p>Now I can log in for a few minutes before the graphics start going wonky - textures replaced, icons re-colored, lots of green, then finally a total freeze.</p><p>I've recently cleaned out dust from inside the computer because I was having graphics issues a few months ago [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=434687] and somebody here thought my graphics card could be overheating, but it wasn't really dusty inside. That issue cleared up by itself.</p><p>Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to run EQ2 in SP2 mode as someone suggested, but that's not an option in the properties in my shortcut...</p><p>I'm thinking this is a compatibility issue between SOE and my computer. I think the patch today messed with something that had been messed with and fixed back in November...</p><p>Let me know what info you want me to post, if you think it will help. Can't play the game, so I might as well figure out how to post the DXDIAG and MSINFO32 files.</p>
