Abilities buttons disappear after zoning or dieing

[sk8jack]

Hi guys, I'm in need of some help here. Whenever I zone or die, my abilities which I've put onto my buttons bar disappears. Skills such as Sense Heading, Bind Wound etc.
There still seems to be buttons on the bar after zoning or dieing however those buttons which were previously the abilities buttons does nothing when clicked (there's no ability name on them after I zone or die).
I've tried changing to another UI but the problem still persist.
Appreciate if someone is able to solve this issue. Thanks!

Very odd issue and sounds exclusively like something on your end.

I would start by doing this first.

-Go into your root EQ folder and sort files by name.
-Then find two files starting with the character name(s) that this is happening on.
-One will be Name_project1999.ini and the other UI_Name_project1999.ini.
-Copy each of these (as a precaution) then delete them.
-Run EverQuest again and see if this happens.

It will reset all your UI layout and buttons and friends list.
IF you are ok to set them up again, then we're done.

If you want to try and salvage them, go back into the EQ folder, delete the current .ini files mentioned before, and rename the copy files back to original. Test again and see if problem is still solved.

If it persists, then you know it's the original .ini files that are corrupted.

If that does not work, and as much as I loathe to say it, reinstall the client after completely clearing out the current installation - that's the only way I know to get back the original UI folder and files *unless you can copy from disc*.
