Characters appear like shadowed men

[Wendelena]

So I just got a new computer and reinstalled P99. It was fine the first day, just had to redo the hotkeys on all my toons. However the 2nd day my toons appear and function like shadowed men, aka enchanter pets. I uninstalled and reinstalled p99 and after adjusting admin permissions to get it to start, I was able to get on p99 but again my characters appear like shadowed men. I can play normally except it is incredibly dark at night and my greater lightstone doesn't work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXDEsJLaimU&t

Try changing to the new models? in the startup screen options, just change everything see if you can fix it basically trial and error until you find something that fixes it, then you know where to go from there. Could be a s3d file got corrupt somehow or moved. A fresh install worth trying too, Just install to a new directory so you have 2 Everquest directories, transfer the p99 patch into it and try that.

chances are you got the wrong installation

this has happened before to other people on here so I recommend looking for other

""""links""""" on the internet for the titanium discs

I tried switching models back and forth, sadly didn't work. I'll give reinstalling another shot, though that'll be a last resort since it was so hectic.

I installed using this method. Had no issue back on my old computer but maybe its outdated? https://wiki.project1999.com/Everquest_Titanium_Installation_Guide

no its not the method you used but rather the files you had

the models must be incorrect so you are gonna have to look for different cds

[Wendelena]

I got the cds from here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MZIb3BMDjLDD-IOV-n52Pxa-GL0NwvrZ and it worked just fine for my brother

yeah it should work then

I recommend just reinstalling it and see if that works

make sure to run it on compatibility mode

I redownloaded the CDs incase it was corrupted the first time around. I just don't know how to mount on Windows 10

Mac? PC? Not a VM or something?

HDD? SSD? M.2?

Id check hardware now, seems more a memory issue as it isn't loading what it has in memory properly.

Its a PC with SSD and Windows 10. Just tried loading from an alternate harddrive and got shadowed men there too. I can def rule that it has something to do with the new computer.

might be worth to just swap in another vid card or run off on-board video to check if maybe its a "too good" of a gpu kind of thing for old game to handle.

Either way If it is Nvidia have you tried going to NVIDIA control panel and changed some of the program specific setting?

Shader Cache, Texture Filtering, Negative LOD bias, Virtually pre-rendered frames. Make sure not running off on-board motherboard video etc as EQ in general seems to need everything manually done. If its a really new GPU might be new tech etc.

Does your FPS seem laggy in game otherwise?

maybe some sort of virtual memory storage and not getting what is stored back properly so not displaying it but thinking it did so your not crashing

Unfortunately video card swapping isn't an option since I got a new computer specifically for all my games. No FPS lag issues in any of them so far. I'm looking into the latter as i'm typing this.

ya for eqgame.exe Low Latency Mode on is good too. I know a lot of games screw up cause your GPU goes into 500FPS or something while loading in the menus then it falls to 60 FPS and has weird errors loading things like that, mainly just for physics based stuff though, also max frame rate etc may as well be capped for 60fps or something cause p99 server are capped at 60 fps

running off onboard video might tell you if it is the card, then you can play with it know then that it is

I just installed some kind of game driver in NVIDIA and it worked! Seems too good to be true lol. Thanks for all your help everyone
