Multicore?

[rock909]

<p>I had to disable this for me to load correctly.  I have vista 32 bit DONT have tso (everything up to that) and a quad core with sli 9800.  Has there been any fix to get this working properly?</p>

Not seeing and issues on the dual core and quad core systems here</p>

<p>Basically if multi core is checked after it goes to zone in EQ crashes and says, "forced to close".  The only way i can get logged in is unchecking this option.  I saw an old thread the other night as was the only way i knew to disable that feature.  </p>

Not having a issue with Intel processors, did have a issue with the I7, but that was resolved with a driver and BIOS update from the motherboard manufacturer. Prior to the patches I just turned off Hyperthreading in the I7.</p>

<p>using Q8200 2.33 Quad.  Everytime i try to load WITH multicore:</p><p>Problem signature:  Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH  Application Name:    EverQuest2.exe  Application Version:    1.0.0.1  Application Timestamp:    4a7761b1  Fault Module Name:    EverQuest2.exe  Fault Module Version:    1.0.0.1  Fault Module Timestamp:    4a7761b1  Exception Code:    c0000005  Exception Offset:    0054bd5d  OS Version:    6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1  Locale ID:    1033  Additional Information 1:    8f4e  Additional Information 2:    700feabdc9bdf2155f413b8220896a1e  Additional Information 3:    b2a4  Additional Information 4:    4ec09e622a3eb791eb6439e98e3da31</p>

<p>Only crashes the application.  I have the latest drivers per Nvidia.  Maybe I need to try a beta driver or another?</p>

I have heard of good results when reverting back to an earlier version or two.</p>

If you can try backing down one version ofthe drivers as Ken suggests and see what happens. Remember on a back down of the driver, be sure to uninstall the current one, boot into safe mode and run a driver cleaner to make sure you get rid of any remnents of the currently installed driver, it could cause some really wierd results if you don't</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>As mentioned, a driver issue seems likely in this case.  You can find the list of recommended drivers at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://help.station.sony.com/cgi-bin/soe.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=16089" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://help.station.sony.com/cgi-bi...p?p_faqid=16089</a></p>
