WinEQ 2.14 Lite Crashing

[dkb140]

I use WinEQ 2.14 Lite to run 2 instances of EverQuest on my PC. Everything worked great up until the TBS patch a few days ago. Now I am able to load 2 instances, but if I camp either one to the Character Select screen, it crashes. After that if I attempt to reload the second instance, again it crashes at the character select screen :/

Anything? Or do I have to keep rebooting each time I want to load another toon?

Sorry for not getting back to you, I've been away on business.

The first thing I will suggest is to update your ATI video card drivers. Yours seem to be fairly outdated. Past that, I don't see anything with your setup that would pose a problem

[dkb140]

I updated my video drivers as you suggested. While this didnt hurt anything, it didnt seem to help anything either. I had the same identical problems as before.

Through trial and error, I believe I have narrowed the problem down to the UI_character_server.ini files. I say this because I was able to run some characters without crashing, while others will crash immediately every time, and others will crash if there is another instance up and running.

Does anyone know of any common issues that would cause EQ to crash because of something in the UI file?
