go to windowed mode every time I click on something

brooksjedi · #1 08-23-2017, 09:23 PM

I have no idea how to fix this. I thought I had it fixed earlier but now when I logged back in its doing it again, also my EQ button is gone so I can't access my options to only go ti full screen. I can't resize my windowed either otherswise I wouldnt make a big deal about it but it's not big enough to really play with, for me anyway.
EVERY time I click a spell or, hell anything I go from full screen to my desktop, and I have to click the game and it reopens in windowed.
any ideas?

Make sure your window resolution is the same as your full screen resolution. and or may have to set them both to your display resolution.
Check your eqclient.ini

Code:

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=x
WindowedHeight=y
Width=x
Height=y

Otherwise any time you click outside the windowed resolution size even while in full screen it will kick you back to windowed mode because it thinks you clicked outside EQ.

ps. Search the forums next time. I've answered this at least two other times.
edit: make sure you havn't installed your EQ to C:\Program Files

Thank you, I installed it to C:Everquest. I forgot to do a search, I'm sorry. Chemo brain has its drawbacks

This always happens to me so after I click full screen I click the video modes and hit change for the size that I already have it on and do that everytime I come back from windows mode.

Just CTRL ALT RETURN into windowed mode and back into Fullscreen once or twice. Remember EQ was a 4:3 ratio game, and I used to get this all the time when clicking on certain parts of the screen while in fullscreen mode.

Switching back and forth helps with this and also the Screen freeze that happens when a UAC prompt comes up on screen. Just switch into windowed and then back into full screen.
