Since this is a new issue I'll start a new thread. I just had an IS session hang on me. By that I mean the window no longer updates its display. I can change sizes from tiny, normal to fullscreen. But no client updates anymore.
I'm not sure of the cause yet. This was on a desktop, and I was renaming profiles and logging characters in for the first time. I noticed that sessions would always start out fullscreen, and that I would need to log a character in and select windowed mode from the Everquest options dialog. So I figured I would get that out of the way.
I had one session running and started a second. The first session was the one which hung -- I wanted to check memory usage on that process and when I used the global hotkey (ctrl-alt-1) only the border drew. So far I haven't found anything useful in the logs. I plan on restarting InnerSpace, and possibly rebooting.
All sessions are running out of the same Everquest directory, and have separate profiles.
This is mainly an FYI, since I doubt there is enough information to do anything with at the moment.

And to hijack my own thread, rather than add even more at the moment: how do I get rid of games in the launcher? I can't seem to figure out the secret handshake so far.
I select "Configuration" then I click on the "Game Configuration" tab. From the drop down list I select "PlanetSide" (nothing against it other than I don't play). Now I click "Remove Game" and it is gone from the list and from the taskbar menu. But the next time I start IS the game is back.
I suppose I could go into the XML and delete it, but I am curious as to the proper way to clear these out.
On another completely new topic, the oddest thing just happened. I logged a character in and he was in a different part of the zone than where I last saw him. I believe he was logged into the session which hung, and was over at the halfling bank in POK. I logged back in and he was on the evil side in one of the buildings. Puzzling. I've never seen anything like that before. Well, there was the one time I went LD while running through the commons and logged back into an adjacent zone. I suppose something like that could have happened here, but he shouldn't have been moving (I was logging another session on at the time), and it isn't a straight shot into that building). I suppose I'm being a bit paranoid
Thanks for the pointer on changing the session names, that will be a nice touch. I'll get to that sometime after I figure out what is going on with my memory usage. I have long followed the advice on the WinEQ2 pages regarding memory usage, and have never been able to get close to those numbers. I have all of the Luclin models turned off, sound off, the social animations off, and I'm still pulling 800M+ per session. The armors 17-23 are disabled, AllLuclinPcModelsOff is true, the Vah Shir models are not being used. I have 500+M of free texture memory, but around 48M of system memory on a 3G 32-bit XP system. I don't see other apps chewing up memory, those 3 sessions are doing a fine job.
