Sorry if this is in another thread but I didn't quite see this same issue ...
Since July 8, anytime I camp from one character to another, on the same account, by using the command line parameters, without exiting the client completely, I get an application error.
So for example,
if I am on my guardianand I camp to my warlock by typing "/camp Araxes" ...
... it crashes.
This has occurred every single time when doing the command line switchover.
EDIT - it also occurs when I camp to the character select and then click on another character. It makes it to "unloading zone" and then I get the same error.
This is on Vista 64.
Here is the crash log.old (only for the most recent which was last night although it happened several tiems prior, also).

It sounds like one of the UI files it calls when switching characters is causing a crash. You should be able to correct it by removing the UI/settings files and letting the game repatch them. Here is the list of files:
cache foldereq2_recent.inieq2_default.iniEverQuest2.exeeq2.iniAs well as the character specific files, these will appear as such:Servername_CharacterName_EQ2_uisettings.iniStationname_characters.ini
that crash log looks pretty much like mine except i'm running XP not vista, the issue started last night, camping from one character to another alt that was in a T3 guild hall. then everytime i tried to get that character in, until i finally deleted his ini files, I would get the application error. It was fine till an hour ago or so when I camped from the one i had the issue with last night to another alt, also in a T3 guild hall, boom, application error. just finished deleting his ini files and stuff and patching and gonna try to get him in again...

I got in all right after deleting all the files, zoned a couple times, switched to play another alt to run some instances, finished those went to switch back to the I had deleted the files earlier on and got the error again, so repatching the files really didnt help other then the very first time going back in it seems
I had a similar thing happen to me a few days ago, I went to a pickup raid with my illu alt and I dropped my settings from the main setup to my raid setup (to avoid HUGE lag) afterI finished I loaded up my main settings. From there each time I did /camp name I crashed!! the way I solved it was to do /load_uisettings and reload the ui from another char,this worked fine for me and I've had no problems since, you could always give that a try and see what happens.
Thanks for the suggestions Daniel but after deleting those files and realizing it will mean that I have to spend hours, literally, re-adjusting every single setting that I had customized, throughout all of the gameply and UI options -- not to mention character UI files! I just decided to deal with the problem for now.
However -
It seems oddd to me that many other people are experiencing this exact same issue, and it started at the same time for all of us - ? People have even asked about it in the in-game chat channels on our server. Clearly something was modifed that has affected a number of players. Could you please pass this along to whomever it might apply to in the development chain?

My wifes computer is doing the exact same thing. Every time (100%) she changes toons with either /camp or character selet it crashes. My computer has no problem what so ever. Kitti's computer has an AMD 64 bit single core running xp SP3 with ATI 1300 (AGP I know its getting old she needs a new computer). Untill recently we had no problems what so ever with only lag being an issue due to age of video card. I usually keep her up to date on video drivers. I haven't updated it lately because she hasn't had any problems, so "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applied. deleted all the files but didn't have any luck fixing the issue. I have heard at least 10 other people having the same issue. Please help.
Hello i have the same problem here, when i camp to a other toon the game crashes, when i get into the character screen the game crashes, when i start a toon from character screen the game crashes.
I have this problem since the last little patch.
I am also having the same problem exactly..... and have tried deleting the files in question, repatching and no fix. It does not seem to happen every time however This is since the last GU.
My wife's computer is the same technically as mine, and yet she has no issues like this.

I'm having the same problem nearly every time i camp or camp to another character. My system crashes in a way so that i can't even terminate EQ2 via task manager. Only thing that works then is a hard reset of the system.

I can camp to another character or character select, but if I camp to desktop or /quit desktop, I get the same thing. Can't terminate via task manager, hard boot required. Maybe it's not a bug, it's a feature to keep people in game! Happens from any zone that I've been in.
Deleting the files and repatching didn't help. And this has only happened since the last GU.
Im having same problem camping to character select and I crash. Every now and then when zoning I get same error.

It certainly is strange that several people have been getting this issue all at once. That's what made me believe it was a UI file change. I'll definitely be passing any information I receive along to the relevant people but I'd also like to continue trying to diagnose the issue.
First off, if you do not wish to lose all of your settings then you can simply move the files I mentioned to another directory instead of deleting them. That way you can move the files back to the Everquest 2 folder if the fix doesn't work and that will restore all your settings.
Also, have you tried disabling voice chat? I believe the last few updates/hotfixes changed the voice chat service more than anything else. If you're having a crash then you might want to try turning off voice chat to see if one of those changes is causing the problem.
Getting the same issue here after the last LU.
Using Windows XP SP2 (SP3 causes serious issues on my machine). I'm using GPU shadows if that makes any difference. Standard game UI at 1680x1050.
