Sorry, I posted this in one of the General Forum threads and later realized it should be put here. So...
-------------------------------------------------
Still having nothing but trouble with the 'NewUI' and running the latest MQ even with the latest .INI file.
Sure, it starts up and all, and says "MacroQuest is Loaded" etc. A Macro even works fine (as long as it is not FISH.MAC cause that current macro has some trouble finding the Mouse under the newUI... etc.
But 5 to 10 minutes into the game, regardless as to whether a Macro is actively running or not.. the New UI screen simply freezes and the game totally locks. Yup. Just cuts out cold, or crashes right to the Desktop.
Now of course you say, "How do you know MQ has anything to do with that??" I can understand you asking. But please accept my finding.
I Booted up 12 times with MQ Running, and 12 times with it NOT running. And each time, I made a random choice to boot up with MQ or not so it was a mixed test.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I chose to start EQ with MQ running, even with no Macros active, EQ locked after about 5 minutes of game-play. EVERY SINGLE TIME. After the crash, and as soon as the memory is unloaded, I call up EQ and can get right back into the game. No 1017 or 1018 errors.
Every time I ran EQ **without** MQ running...EQ ran perfectly, even for hours at a stretch. I did this to prove that there had to be some corrolation between running MQ and not running MQ and the game locking up. This has never happened with earlier releases of MQ or under EQ's old UI.
I hope other MQ users (who work with the NewUI and have the latest release/.INI) will let me know if they, too, find more lockups with EQ than ever before.
