Did you reinstall DirectX?

I did. . . .didn't work!

[quiarrah]

Any ETA on when this bug will be fixed?? I played all day yesterday and it didn't happen until I rounded a corner in SQ and got so much lag I stopped dead in my tracks . . . .then I got the blue screen of death that actually restarted my machine for me!

From what I understand this does not happen on the test server. . perhaps it is a comma that got misplaced from there to here. . . hopefully it will come out in the next patch cause this is ridiculous!

Have just missed my entire raid trying to fix this to no avail.  Thanks SOE.

I have been having the same problem for the last week or two and have been unable to find a fix for it.   Updated and fixed everthing I could as suggested on this thread but still no go.  Only have problems with this game and no other online games I am currently playing.

Well, in a way, I'm glad I'm not the only person this is happening to, which would point to the seemingly overall consensus that this problem is on SOE's end.

My entire computer crashed when I updated my LON files (just returning after being gone for 2 years.. gee, this makes me want to stay..), and I had to reinstall EVERYTHING, right down to my motherboard drivers. So after getting everything installed again today and spending a couple of hours downloading EQ2, I was excited to play again.. only to get this annoying error.

I cannot log into the game at all. I hit the "Play" button from the launcher, wait about ten seconds, and then gets this "direct x 9 render device" fatal error (the same one everyone else has been posting..) that shuts everything down. Granted, I haven't tried restarting the launcher ten times, but since my fiance is logging into his account and playing right next to me.. it's just annoying. SOE may only get one month outta' me, because I'm not paying to get an error message.

Please fix it, SOE.

BSOD is not a game related issue.  That's either a sign of a hardware failure or a corrupt driver on your computer or an overheat.

Have you attempted to have the Launchpad run a 'Validate Game Assets'?  If not, click on the toolbox looking icon on the left side, 'Validate Game Assets', Validate.  It may or may not find a problem.  Still, there is always a chance that, for whatever reason, a corrupt file is there.

I have gone ahead and reported this to the appropriate department. In the meantime, please pm TSR Seanf and myself your ticket reference numbers so we can gather more data. Thank you guys for your patience and understanding!

I get this myself:

I guess I should submit a petition in-game too? This PC was built last Wednesday and I just started playing again but I get this issue randomly. Twice so far on two different characters on two different servers. I use DirectX 11 and have a quad-core PC.

did you load the directx 9 runtime as stated at the top of this thread. It does not matter if you have a directx 11 certifieid subsytem or not, the game engine is using DX9 runtime calls. DX 9 was the last version of directx that was backwards compatible, starting with Vista and DX10 the backwards compatible capability was removed. You need the runtime modules. The install app is smart enough to only load what is needed

Wingrider is right, you may want to make sure you have Direct x9 installed properly.How to Install DirectX 9.0c

New computers have Directx 11 but may not have Direct x9 on it. For more information, click on the link above ^

When I tried to install it though I get this;

It's picking up on the version 11 and is telling me to not worry about it or something.

Is there something else I can do?

My problem is something different but seems to be very similar and seems caused by same (undetermined) issue:

build="SOEBuild=9270L" version="SOEVersionString=2012/10/15 14:08:37" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="" loc="  0.00   0.00   0.00" performance="3" alert="G:liveeq2frameworkvdlVdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) runtimevdl/cbaseclasses.vdl(21) : Error, File not found, runtimevdl/services.vdl."build="SOEBuild=9270L" version="SOEVersionString=2012/10/15 14:08:37" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="" loc="  0.00   0.00   0.00" performance="3" alert="G:liveeq2frameworkvdlVdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) runtimevdl/cbaseclasses.vdl(22) : Error, File not found, runtimevdl/soemote.vdl."

i have directx9.0c already installed. there is no way to reinstall it in win7, so suggestions to do the same are just not valid.

Pink, PM either TSR SeanF or myself your ticket reference number so we can look into it personally. Please be sure to include your Dxdiag and Msinfo to expedite the process.

I've sent the number already, I haven't had any issues again yet though.

Thanks Pink. Appreciate the update and I'll look over the ticket to let you know if I find something!
