HELP! Invisible characters.

[brasoff]

Everyone is invisible I can see what they are wearing and nothing else. I have tried re-install, checked directx, checked video drivers, tried other games. I have an ip-exemption and this is my gf having this issue, any help appreciated so I claim the idea as my own.

I would venture to say your AV software is deleting something. Turn off AV software and install directly to the C Drive in a folder.

Did you run Everquest shortcut without the patchme filter?

[brasoff]

Re-installed to make sure no patch bar comes up, no patch bar still the same issue.

You said this is an extra machine. I'd take the working copy from your other computer and put it on a stick and run EQ from that and see if it works. If it does move it to a folder on the computer.

Great idea let me try

While that was not the answer it seems the laptops onboard hardware video card is the issue, either window's 8.1 fresh install isn't detecting the video card or it needs driver updates. Thanks for the help!

it appears to be a direct issue with microsoft displayer adapter, googling shows nothing on how to fix it unfortunately

[nectarprime]

Microsoft display adapter as in this (https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/support/how-to/adapters/setup)?

[brasoff]

Nope under dxdiag it lists it as "Microsoft basic display adapter"

[nectarprime]

What is the make and model of the laptop?

[Tupakk]

Yeah you need to get real drivers for your laptop. I have found that DriverSlim is some good freeware driver software that doesn't give you ads and malware and such as long as you pay attention to the install info.

[brasoff]

tried both and even tried reinstalling windows!

[brasoff]

Finally fixed: resolved by upgrading to windows 10 and having better driver update software

When i have this issue I can turn off vertex shaders to get the models back. This is an issue I have with like every wine install of EQ I have made. It basically means you are stuck with the worst water but other than that you will never notice it being off.

You may have a different issue because I run wine on linux.

To be honest you don't need "driver software", you just need to track down the right drivers. Glad you got it working
