eqwindows

Is EQWindows permitted to use here?

I run a dual monitor setup and would like to be able to use my 2nd monitor while playing the game (watch a movie while camping, facebook etc ...)

I checked the rules and did a forum search but wasn't able to find any information either way.

Regards,

[snifs]

yes it's allowed

[Volga]

thanks snifs.

EQ just runs in windowed mode on the titanium client. It has worked for years. So you should be fine without any additional software. I run it in a window at work and just do other shit between kills.

Hell if you are running vista/7 you will find running in a window to be way less quirky/annoying than running full screen anyway : /

is there a way to increase EQs resolution options?

I play on a widescreen and cant seem to get EQ to fit the widescreen resolutions my monitor offers so things seem stretched or fuzzy in game a little.

You should be able too in the game client.

If not open up your eqclient.ini file and find the [VideoMode] area and edit away.

Mine looks like:

[VideoMode]
BitsPerPixel=32
WindowedWidth=1680
WindowedHeight=1050
Width=1680
Height=1050
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0

Runs pretty on my 22"

ALT O in game goto video tab, you can change it there

Thanks, trying out those settings but 1920 x 1080.. my monitor won't let me click on the sides if I set the resolution from the game, it kicks me back to windowed mode... lets hope this fixes it!

This happens when you alt-enter from windowed to full screen mode. To fix this just hit alt+o and select the 1920x1080 resolution and it'll be fine.

What are you playing on a TV? 1920x1080 MAY not be supported. I know 1920x1200 is, and that's what I play on, but that is a native monitor res, and not a native television res. If your is a monitor and only does 1920x1080 you got jipped lol.

Regardless, that's how you fix it by re-applying the video settings in-game
