So I was on EQ a couple of times since I installed Windows 7. I am now getting this error message:
I have no idea what could be causing this since, well, you know...I was just in the game a few hours before. It seems somewhat odd.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this sort of error?

This error means that the application tried to access a section of memory that the Operating system it not permitting it to. The lowest memory, note the very low address, is reserved for the Operating Systems' exclusive use. Usually this is an application bug, but since you are using known working Application on a shiny new, probably not very tested OS, I would suggest this may be due to an incompatibility introduced by Win7.
Yeah I kind of figured that, I just wondered if anyone had had the problem before and found a solution and what could have caused it to happen in the 3 hours since I had logged out. I deleted my install and put it in another directory. Online now, but that doesn't mean much. Hopefully it keeps working this time.
We've been running Win7 x64 (RC, don't have RTM at home yet) on 4 of our EQ machines and haven't had any problems with NULL-pointer references at all. (ie: The access below is probably really something like structure-member reference where the pointer to the structure is zero and the offset is 0x44)
Does this happen in a particular zone? If so, you might want to delete those zone-files and re-patch.

Did you
a: Put EQ somewhere other than under "Program Files"? (ie: C:/games/EQ etc)
and
b: "Run as Administrator"?
If you do those two things, I'd think it would work fine.

I did and it did work at first, but I still got this problem after a couple times logging in. I deleted it from the non-program files directory and put it back in the default since I've never had problems with that before. Hopefully it will workNoircogi wrote:Did you
