WinEQ2 alternative

I can't find any info about how to launch EQ directly in order to try this. Neither Everquest.exe or the Launch Titanium.bat launch the game properly.

Bumping this because I found the answer after reading the manual for the application. Here's a link if you care to read for yourself: http://westechsolutions.net/sites/Wi...sGaming/manual

Basically you just need to have the app running, fire up EQ in windowed mode (alt+enter to switch to windowed mode) and then click the "add window" button from the apps tray icon and switch back to EQ and then hit f3.

Pretty simple, and works great. Very easy to manage and works with a lot of games. Hope this helps.

It works great except for one thing, my mouse cursor is an inch high from where the game thinks it is. Do you know how to fix that?

I had the same issue. A quick search led me to this which resolved the issue:https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderles...mment-48265338

It can be fixed. Note: tested on win7 only.

1) In the eqclient.ini, make sure your [video mode] settings are set to your screen resolution.

2) Adjust window's title bar height.*
right click desktop > personalize > window color and appearance
select Active Title Bar from the drop down list.
select Fonts > Small Fonts > size 2
decrease Active Title Bar to size 5

3) Start up EQ and get on your character.
run the borderless gaming program or a similar program.
after the window is set, you should be able to return Active Title Bar to the normal height.


*EQ needs 5 pixel title bar height to get the right mouse coords it seems.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
You can save your theme before and after step 2 on the Personalization page and swap between quickly. You can also make a shortcut to the saved themes for fast swapping when starting up EQ.

Hope this helps!

The other solutions didn't work for me, but then I found that switching to full screen fixed it. You can either press ALT + ENTER, or click the button in the display options. Unfortunately I have to do it every time I switch to a different window, but pressing two keys isn't a big hassle.

The problem is that I can't run EQ, not that I can't run the app. How do I get a generic non eq non attempting to patch copy of EQ running without first using WinEQ?

I'm not entirely sure I follow. You simply run the "Launch Titanium.bat" batch file from your EQ directory, the same way you would if you were launching for the first time.
