No eqclient.ini ....

[Jozsef]

Hello all, new here but not to the game lol. Anyways I seem to not be able to find my eqclient.ini in my eq directory and it's irritating me very badly... Can't change to my screen resolution rofl. Anyways, if anyone knows anything I don't (which is HIGHLY possible) please give me a hand. Thanks.

P.S. I'm running windows 7

It should auto generate once you've logged in at least once. After that, you can log out and play with it to your heart's content.

Still nadda after playing for a few hours... Weird.

If you've installed EverQuest to C:\Program Files, then you'll find your EQClient.ini located somewhere in C:\Users\YOURNAME or C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData. Programs cannot create new files in Program Files as a matter of security, so they are redirected to the user profile directory.

When I first switched to Windows 7 I couldn't find any screenshots lol.. this is where they are stored :p

To extend my original post:

If you would like screenshots, INIs and other client-generated files to be retained in the EverQuest directory, you must alter the properties of every executable in the EverQuest directory to run as an administrator. Alternatively, you can disable User Accounts Control (UAC), which disables this protection system-wide.

I don't generally advise that users disable UAC, as it provides a rather decent level of security, but advanced PC users may find their Windows 7 experience altogether less annoying with UAC shut off.

^this. OR, just don't install in Program Files. Install in c:\eq. Or c:\p1999.

Or do like me and have it (and your screenshots, logfiles, etc.) on a flashdrive on your keychain (f:\p1999 ftw). This way you can quickly and easily play on another machine with nary a hiccup.

Grrrrr... I don't have appdata either... Screw it, I'ma reinstall into C:\P1999. THANKS GUYS!

[Aasimon]

You do have AppData; itt's a hidden folder, however. To access it, you need to physically add \APPDATA to the end of C:\Users\YOURNAME and hit enter.

Dude, <3!

So im running Vista (yeah, i know) on my laptop...I dont have eqclient.ini file either. I have searched in the previously posted locations and did a full scan of my computer searching for the file name and it's nowhere to be found. Any ideas? I am able to set my resolution and ui and it saves it for when i log in again so it has to be writing this file somewhere right?

[Alkorin]

Be sure that you're searching in hidden folders. You may be missing something if you're not.

[Swishahouse]

i seemed to remember eq wanting to install to the C root way back in the day and as such I have always set the installer to go there ever since

[adengelhardt]

[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=1
VertexShaders=TRUE
20PixelShaders=TRUE
14PixelShaders=TRUE
1xPixelShaders=TRUE
MultiPassLighting=FALSE
UseLitBatches=TRUE



that is what's in the file specified. any insight into what's going on and how i can fix this to play?

[Darguth]

I found my INI file, but modifications to it seem to not take effect. For example I tried setting WindowedMode=FALSE to fix the issue where clicking on portions of my screen would sometime kick me out of fullscreen mode, but the problem persists. I also enabled Luclin models (updated the GlobalLoad file too) yet still seeing the base models.

Wat do?

UAC because nothing says added security like "are you sure you want to do this? [Yes]" "Are you absolutely sure? [Yes]"


to resolve all of your problems. simply cut and paste your entire EverQuest folder into a better spot (Outside Program Files)

Such as: C:\EverQuest\

[antony.trupe]

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr am Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest Titanium in Windows 7 for me.
