A million problems
I have been absent for almost a year from this server. I finally got a new computer, and it has Windows 10(I can only assume this is a major factor in the problems I'm having). I downloaded Titanium and got everything ready for play. When I launched, for some reason it was set to windowed mode automatically, even though my computer is so powerful that it can run Battlefield 1 on ultra graphics with zero lag(thus I obviously don't suspect such a default setting has anything at all to do with my computer's ability(or lack thereof) to run this game). In windowed mode, the resolution(set to my desktop resolution) makes it impossible for me to interact with the bottom inch or more of my screen(where the EQ button, and therefore nearly every administrative option, is located). In other words, I was cut off from vital components to playing this game, as well as cut off from any ability to fix it in game. I tried several things. Tabbing out and setting the resolution to a greater value while the game remained running caused it to black out, thus obviously preventing any kind of continuation of such a fix. I used alt+enter to make it full screen again, but, for a reason which, to this day, is unknown to me, pressing alt+enter caused my sound to completely vanish in game. Nothing at all, not a spell, not a footstep, nothing makes a sound at all, and I am unable to figure out why. I closed the game, and messed with my hardware settings to see if I could get a change at all. I restarted the game, and now, every time I log in with ALL THREE of my loginserver accounts, the character select screen shows no characters. NONE! I have spent RIDICULOUS amounts of time leveling my characters to where they are. Needless to say, even had I not been dealing with the previously stated annoying issues, I would be FURIOUS to see my hard earned characters disappear with no explanation. So, as calmly as I possibly can, I ask: WHAT THE FUCK????
In conclusion: As you can see, I am having problems that seem to perpetuate themselves, and the internet, as of yet, offers no resolution to them at all. What the hell is happening? I love EverQuest. I really do. But if this is what I have to deal with to play it, I will willingly and easily say goodbye to it forever.
