<p>Greetings,</p><p>I believe there is an issue with the station launcher at the moment that will see a patch in the next couple of days.  That might be the cause of the long startup.  In the meantime, try deleting  your lp_temp and any similar folders(such as !p_temp) from your Everquest 2 directory.</p><p>Regarding the D3D crash you're getting, what version of the driver are you using currently?  I believe the knowledge base recommends the 190 series but I have seen a lot of instability with that version.  I would advise using the 186 version if you are not doing so already.  You can download that here:</p><p><a href="http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find...aspx?lang=en-us</a></p>
