How alphablueofficial/eql-audio-crash-workaround works
This is a per-launch Windows workaround for a narrowly identified EverQuest Legends audio startup crash. The user runs a launcher, selects the official LaunchPad if needed, approves elevation, then starts the game normally after the workaround signals readiness. The PowerShell phase temporarily changes Windows MIDI configuration, monitors the launch, and restores and verifies the original state; a separate emergency entry point handles recovery. Relationships reflect the README; source excerpts were unavailable.
