Arch Magus Vangl Client Crashing Bug

Arch Magus Vangl in Anguish - Bug causing crashing when attempting to enter his room.

Here is a comment from Eric Cosky - "Grumbuk", Assistant Lead Programmer, EverQuest on 12-20-2005:

"I spent some time looking into this and it does appear to be related to our low level rendering code and/or specific graphics card drivers. The crash reports I get only make it here if players don't get the blue screen of death though; is the BSoD a commonly seen crash in this specific zone (ie NV4_DISP.DLL)? That would explain why this hasn't gotten our attention sooner, these are only logged as a linkdeath from our end since a driver level crash prevents the crash report from being sent in.

Thanks for any more information you can provide, we'll get to the bottom of this soon I hope."

Nothing else has been heard on this issue since, however it was stickied by Sony in the Veterans Forum here.
