<p>Hello,</p><p>I am under Windows 7 32 bits / 4 GB RAM, with a Geforce 8800 GTS 320 Mo (driver 258.96 - 2010.07.19) and Kaspersky 2011 (with Everquest 2 entered as an exception in order to be allowed to act freely).</p><p>After 2 minutes to 3 hours of play, the game eventually freeze a strange way: the display seems to be stuck, but the mouse cursor is still able to mouse, but by fits and starts. It doesn't look like a video card overheating. The freeze I encounter during the gameplay looks to me more like an internal lock in the game rather than a driver/video card/anti-virus issue.</p><p>I have to stop and restart my computer, however, as Windows is completely stuck.At restart, the event observer doesn't warn against anything. And there are no system clues about what might have happened.</p><p>Only, depending on the case, some warnings in EQ 2 alertlog.txt:</p><p>build="SOEBuild=6967L" version="SOEVersionString=2010/10/7 17:13:27" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="exp04_rgn_timorous_deep" loc="1590.09 -0.34 -150.07" performance="7" alert="E:liveeq2frameworkresmansrcResourceManager.cpp(201 3): Error loading nrvobm/nms/gorowynbottom_explored.dds"build="SOEBuild=6967L" version="SOEVersionString=2010/10/7 17:13:27" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="exp04_rgn_timorous_deep" loc="1590.09 -0.34 -150.07" performance="7" alert="E:liveeq2frameworkresmansrcResourceManager.cpp(201 3): Error loading nrvobm/nms/gorowynbottom_unexplored.dds"build="SOEBuild=6967L" version="SOEVersionString=2010/10/7 17:13:27" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="exp04_rgn_timorous_deep" loc="1590.09 -0.34 -150.07" performance="7" alert="E:liveeq2frameworkvdlsrcVdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) *buffer*(0) : Error, File not found: clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_07/reverant_book_swarm.vdl"build="SOEBuild=6967L" version="SOEVersionString=2010/10/7 17:13:27" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="exp04_rgn_timorous_deep" loc="1590.09 -0.34 -150.07" performance="7" alert="E:liveeq2gamegamecommonclientEqSpellCast.cpp(97): ERROR - Unable to load spell cast 'clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_07/reverant_book_swarm.vdl'."build="SOEBuild=6967L" version="SOEVersionString=2010/10/7 17:13:27" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="exp04_rgn_timorous_deep" loc="1590.09 -0.34 -150.07" performance="7" alert="E:liveeq2frameworkresmansrcResourceManager.cpp(201 3): Error loading _exp04/composed/zones/regions/timorous_deep/goro_obj_gear.voc"</p><p>(a full scan haven't corrected this, the files C++ program see missing appear to be still missing in my computer, today).</p><p>or some entries in the ui.log:</p><p>Couldn't load .xml :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xmlEncountered data outside of container tags :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xmlEncountered data outside of container tagsEncountered data outside of container tagsEncountered data outside of container tags :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xml :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xmlEncountered data outside of container tagsEncountered data outside of container tags :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xml :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xmlEncountered data outside of container tagsEncountered data outside of container tags :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xml :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xml :: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xmlEncountered data outside of container tagsEncountered data outside of container tags</p><p>The UI log, last time, had the timestamp of when the game did hang.</p><p>But an attempt to copy-paste the content of file containing my character settings ([server]_[player]_eq2_uisettings.xml) to W3C XML validator, for checking, didn't show any trouble in the xml structure.</p><p>What can I do to investigate more?</p><p>Regards,</p><p>Sargonnath.</p>
