<p>Getting an error since last evening's patch.  I use WinEQ 2.15 Pro (just that, not as part of a larger package) when I'm boxing (I've used it since Verant's day when EQ1 was a RAM hog, to handle Windows resources better) and since last night I've been getting a weird error when trying to enter the game.  Character select is fine, it even lets me through the create new character process - it's as soon as the toon enters the game. </p><p>It's not a big deal, because I can play without WinEQ but thought I'd let you know (I'm going to do the same on the LavishSoft site) in case it was related to my crashing to character select last night when I wasn't boxing and wasn't using WinEQ.  I tried it on two machines, same result and same error.  Error message is weird too because it shows trying to access E drive and E on one machine is a single DVD RW drive and on the other, the second of two - also a DVD RW Drive.</p><p>Screenshot of the message:</p><p><img src="http://www3.telus.net/public/strident/directxerror.jpg" width="470" height="229" /></p><p>Edit: I've done the reasonable things already - dxdiag, check for new versions, video drivers, complete file check.</p>

<p>Getting the same error. I posted on the Lavish site and sent a bug report, and haven't heard anything back from them. Was tough raiding today without my WinEQ =/ I mostly missed being full screen, as EQ's version of full screen requires a reload if i want to tab to a browser. No thanks!</p>

<p>Update: Lavish patched their product - WinEQ works fine again; apologies if I caused you grief!</p>
