Full screen problems

[mandoluce]

I recently returned to p99 after many years and am having problems getting the game to load in full screen. For years I had gone into the EQclient.ini file and changed, "WindowedMode" to = FALSE and this worked for me for many years to play in full screen. When I play in windowed mode, all the text is too small for me to read and it just makes playing impossible, and also some of the screen is cut off.

Now when I go into the file to change to WindowedMode = FALSE, the game will start up in full screen like it always used to do for years, and seems to be working perfectly. I type in my password, click the server on the server select screen, full screen all fine and dandy. Then when it starts to load to character select screen, the screen just goes black and never gets to the character select screen, just seems to freeze in black screen. Did something change while I was away that makes this quick fix not work? Is there something I can do to get back to playing full screen like I used to? Quoted below is kind of how I figured out how to run in full screen in the first place.

Please help me, I need my fix of EQ in full screen and I want to come back to the community that I have spent years in and love so dearly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Part if the install guide I made to help (my monitors are 1920x1080) - windowedmode = true:

• Optional: EQClient.ini:
o Log=TRUE (logging to tools, will have to clean out logs before they get too big)
o WindowedModeXOffset=-1923
o WindowedModeYOffset=-19
o WindowedMode=TRUE
o WindowedWidth=1920
o WindowedHeight=1080
o Width=1920
o Height=1080
o FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
o FullscreenRefreshRate=0
o WidthWindowed=1920
o HeightWindowed=1080


also, have you set the client to run in admin? have you set the link to win xp sp2 compatability?

I of course had set the WindowedMode to FALSE and that is what worked for me for years, but no longer I guess? Really frusterating...

Any help is appreciated, thank you for reading!
