I do not think so. it's a 25 year old client and the devs do not have access to the client's code (what runs on your computer) to change.. only server code. I have relegated myself to running in windowed mode and use two monitors.

The good think about this happening, is you can do an autoswim in a circle, then click off and you can level swimming! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are things like apps that are supposed to help (wineq2? - still windowed) but my feeling is to keep my setup as simple as possible.

So I run windowed and then once in game, you can set the window up very high to where only 20% or less of the window bar is left. You can also prob play with the windowed mode Y-offset to get higher. Plus if you set the personalizations in windows right, that windowed bar will change to whatever color you set it to to let you nkow the window is in focus.

This game also doesn't like viewport mode changes, so going fullscreen can and will crash the game.

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'm recently returned to p99 and used to be able to find this file and change WindowedMode to TRUE, to get it to go full screen. I haven't been able to figure out where this file is to change the text, anyone know what I'm doing wrong? It used to be a quick fix for me and now I can't seem to figure it out, very frustrating
