EQ2 Client Application has stopped working.

[Jiub]

<p>I'm a returning player and was playing the game just fine for the past 3 days. Last night, I logged out to desktop and I got the EQ2 Client has stopped working popup and thought nothing of it.</p><p>When I tried to play today, the client always crashes after I hit play and it gets to the entering game, loading zone info, etc screen.</p><p>Help? <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Same thing happens to me. As soon as the hotfix came, I couldn't get into the game anymore. I still can go to the character selection screen, but can't get into the game with any character. For many years I never had a problem like this. Obviously, someone screwed it up with this patch.</p>

<p><span ><p>Thanks to Zandru, you can do the following, it worked for me:</p><p><span>temporary fix is to delete: <em>eq2ui_mainhud_knowledge.xml</em></span></p><p>Seen here in this thread:</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="list.m?topic_id=491547" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=491547</a></p></span></p>

<p>That didn't work for me.  I go through the checks, log-in, play, character select screen looks great and character enters game.  Load UI and wham the Microsoft report gets sent out and I'm looking at my desktop.</p><p>/rant_enabled</p><p>I KNOW you guys are programming in C++, and such, why isn't there a loader and game client for Linux?  I really hate Windows.  XP is better than Vista, but it still sucks.  I have a 64-bit system that isn't being utilized, because Vista and XP64 sucks worse!</p><p>/rant_disabled</p><p>Anyway I need a new fix to get into the game.   Why do I have the feeling this is a font issue?</p>

<p>Add my name to the list. Same problem.</p><p>I have windows 7</p><p>I get all the way to entering guild hall and poof ... I'm at my desktop with the error message.</p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>Update:</p><p>I tried deleting the eq2ui_mainhud_knowledge.xml same thing happened ... THEN I tried deleting it from my UI file.</p><p>D'uh! I use Drumstixx UI and after deleting it from my UI FOLDER I was able to get into game.</p>

<p>Make sure you try this:</p><p><span style="color: #993300;">Incidentally, <span style="color: #ff0000;">if you run a custom UI</span> and are crashing whenever you open the Knowledge window, until your custom UI provider offers an update, you can temporarily delete these files from your custom UI folder:</span></p> <ul><li><span style="color: #993300;">eq2ui_mainhud_knowledge.xml</span></li><li><span style="color: #993300;">eq2ui_mainhud.xml</span></li></ul><p>Let me know. Eventually, you may want to switch to default UI for testing purposes.</p>
