Crash to desk

Howdy,
(first, sry for my bad english ^^)

I tried a few UI but on every UI i crash to desk.

Sometime while i zone, sometime when i open quest journal, map etc.
and sometimes when i invite a grp member.

Any idea what that crash cause? I try to load the fetish from my brother, all work fine but in 2-3 hour i crash again.

I would suggest using the default UI for a while and see if you still experience crashes. If you don't crash, then you know it is a UI issue. If you do crash, you can start looking at other factors of the game, such as updating drivers and directx, and possibly an error in the game itself. This also doesn't account for other possibilities (64-bit hardware, beta Vista, etc).

Another question: When you do crash, what kind of error (if any) do you get?

This is seemingly becoming a common issue. It doesn't seem to matter if you're using the Default UI or a Custom one... The only fix I have discovered to this is logging in another character, Getting a quest or forming a group.

I have tried many different avenues all the way down to a full re-install and complete patch of EQ2 all-together. Nothing worked. The only fix I have found is just what I mentioned above. I updated my DX drivers, Updated my Video drivers, Updated.NET and done complete file scans. The only thing that worked was camping to another char. I don't know why this works but it does.

I get no error message. I try now with full scan.

Updated directX and grafic driver.

Edit: fullscan didnt work, now i crush with normal ui too

A guild members alt character was crashing every time some one would invite him to a group with the default interface. What I think he did to fix it was delete the servername_charatername_eq2_uisettings.ini file for his character thats found in the EverQuest II Folder. Deleting this file will reset all your window locations.

That is correct, it is a problem in that file.

You should also be ok using /load_uisettings and loading an un-bugged character's settings... I also recommend backing up your uisettings files once you have them working, so you can load them and not have to redo all your settings.

Yesterday I started a new toon on Gfay using my own custom UI and did not have one single problem in 17 levels. I also grabbed some quests in BB, no problems. As soon as I entered into TS and later Antonica the crashes started to happen.

Maybe it's just random luck or perhaps there is some different coding in the expansion as the only crashes (I two box) I'm getting are outside of EoF.
