I was logged on this morning and seen that POK and Eastern or Western Wastes
were comming down for a patch, can anybody confirm if the lockup's people
are experiencing in the Planes Of Knowledge are now fixed?

That was the rumor...

Unfortuantely, I just crashed after 20 seconds of being in PoK.

This is really getting annoying.

I'm also seeing this a lot on my system

1.  Game Locks up in POK (normally when i enter)
2.  Wait 2-3 Minutes for syncronisation so i can log back on
3.  The second i log back on it crashes again (within a second)

If im logging into POK then it seems to run a high risk of it locking up,
once im in and running about the risk seems to lower.......although its
still there.

That has all the markings of a graphics problem somewhere.

Two nights ago it took me three times of logging back in to get to the
Halas stone and get the holy hell out of that zone.

I felt bad, too... My first crash was on my drogmor in the door to the main
bank.

I am really glad to hear that everyone is haveing problems (LOL)
I locked up with a blue screen and the diagnostics claimed I had a bad
graphics driver.   I was about to go out and get a new one.

I crashed hard three times.  Then I deleted the POK files and ran the patcher
again.  Haven't had any problems since.

I have had daily crashes since 2 patches ago and since the patch yesterday I
can go only a few minutes no matter what zone I am in.  I've tried
everything.  New graphics, sound, mouse, motherboard drivers, eqplaynice.
Ran thorough diagnostic programs on memory and hard disk, and semi-thorough
on graphics and sound.  Removed sound card, changed graphics card (from
radeon 9700 to an old 7000).  Acceleration low, models off, msconfig disable
all in startup tab, delete eqclient.ini, delete /maps.  I eventually
repartitioned and reinstalled everything.  Nothing fixes this.  Perhaps the
Gods are telling me NO to eq.

Perhaps they're just saying NO to ATI cards :-)

I tried the same with a Geforce 4 TI 4200 and an ATI 9600 Pro, both
lastest drivers.  Clean install, both XP and 2000.  Latest drivers.
Skeleten config in EQ.  Still crashing.

I cry for the old times before the DX9 upgrade.  I was rock solid
before, never crashed.  *whimper*

The last time I had problems like that, I -think- what fixed it was
installing the VIA 4-in-1 driver thingys that I'd forgotten to install.  
It might also have been cleaning all the dust out of the computer though.  
But I'm pretty sure the 4-in-1 thingy is what actually fixed it.  So if
your motherboard has a VIA chipset, you might try that.  Or if there's
other mysterious drivers for your chipset, etc.
