Second session always crashes

fthis · Post by **fthis** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 1:58 pm

I messed around with this last night and found out something.

I cannot use the second copy to run WinEQ. Even if I make that the primary account it crashes the same way every time. I was able to log on normally and with EQwindows on that exact same folder.

If I copied my primary to another spot on the main hard drive that also worked.... doing more testing!

Let me know if you find anything out, there should be no problem with WinEQ where you could use EQWindows

Ok I found out what the problem was.

I renamed every folder inside the D:\Everquest folder zzz....

For example zzzuifiles

I then copied over all of the folders from the primary copy and it worked.

I then deleted the folders one by one and renamed the zzz folder back to it's orginal.

I had a WinEQ directory in the D:\Everquest directory as I did on my primary account. How ever in the D:\ dir there was a file called WinEQ.dll as soon as I deleted this file it works, put it back and it crashed.

In my primary eq folder the only thing in that folder is eqgame.exe so I made my secondary account the same way.

Ahhhh, possibly an older WinEQ.dll causing problems then. That would explain it

Upgraded to v1.0
Now if the profiles are identical (and default) the second instance runs.
If I point the second profile to my other EQ directory on second drive (that runs OK under EQWindows) and leave everything else the same, it still crashes.

I have Visual C++ V6 installed and it asks me if I want to debug.
Is there anything I can do with that that will help?
- might want to PM me if so

Debugging info follows:

V1.10 still crashes in the same way
Visual Studio .NET debugger crashes too when trying to debug so that was not much help.

Since 1.00 all of WinEQ.log is relevant. I'll be working on this problem, thank you
