Please, for the love of God, allow us to turn off Dynamic Lighting

The tunnel makes my eyes burn like I am starting at a thousand sun's.

Adding my support to this thread, game looks and plays significantly worse. In Snow zones i can hardly even see anyone's names on Target because they are the same color as the blinding floor of snow.

Can't play on my older laptop to do tunnelquesting because i barely get 5 FPS.

Can't take people to kill things in Icewell Keep because they lag the hell out and can't tank properly.

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure 'Advanced Lighting' is not a Classic option, why hack it to try and poorly emulate classic lighting and then force it on for all servers?

Please stop forcing this broken lighting on! The Devs have always made surgical changes to p99 that made things more classic without hurting the game, so eventually people could learn to deal with them and even appreciate them. But this was not a change that fits that philosophy and i don't understand why it's still in the game.

Its so they can enforce classic night blindness but sadly it makes whites far too blinding. Poorly implemented like the z axis changes that broke more things than it fixed

It did make things easy to break the addiction and walk away to play other games. I just check back every 2-3 weeks now to see if mediocrity is still being embraced by the powers that be.

CLAP.

The trick to fix Dynamic Lighting exists.


Find your EQCLIENT.INI file and change:
DYNAMIC LIGHTING = FALSE <- This is a 1 time change.

Log into the Green server.
Log out and back into Blue server.

Fixed.

Thank you. This did work for me. I changed the file, right clicked on the file icon, selected to make it Read Only (just my paranoia at work), entered Teal with a character, exited out the program entirely, and then entered Blue with a banker alt in Felwithe. Instead of dealing with shock-white walls, it looked normal once more. Making it Read Only is more than likely unnecessary and probably a bad thing. I'll change it later when I need to.

My file says access denied when trying to change it.

This did not used to be the case.

Any ideas?

I kept an old install copy of Titanium on a thumb drive and when this 'we restored classic racial vision' bush league business was tossed in, I carefully went through exactly what files were in the V52 files and only included file content I knew was critical to play on P1999. I copied over nothing that I didn't have to. You could give that a try. If you know some coding, you can actually get around some of the alterations by using a good text editor.

From my point of view, I paid for my client disks back in the day and I reserve my right under NA consumer protection law to use my purchased software anyway I want in my own home as long as it doesn't give me an unfair advantage within any Emu.

For this trick, do you have to enter either Green's or Teal's game world or just go to the character screen?

Erati - not to state the obvious, but by chance were you logged into the game at the time? The game was probably accessing the file then. Also, if you right click the file, does it give an option to open with a simple Word document program?
