I remove all my characters name_project1999.ini files (i think you may only have to remove the last character you were on but not sure)

I remove all my UI_name_project1999.ini files.

Start up eq 1999 as usual

When i get to character select I exit game drop all files back in and game works fine.

As far as I can tell, this seems like a very valid solution. I think I remember suggesting something like this in one of the other 1018 threads around here, but i definitely didn't mention anything about the name_project1999.ini files getting deleted. That may very well fix the problem all on its own, but just to be safe, I'd backup your UI files and delete them as well (go ahead and backup the name_project1999.ini files as well, though I don't see why you'd need to do this, it never hurts to be extra cautious).

If you are having an Error 1018 issue, please do the community a huge favor here. If you could attempt this for us and let us know what happens I know that at the very least you'll have my gratitude, and i'm sure the gratitude of many others as well. Before I can add this into the FAQ as a solution to this issue, I need to be sure it works, and since i've never had this problem before, I can't test it. It would make me very, very happy to be able to add this into the FAQ, because that particular part of it has been void of a solution for quite some time!

So do everyone a favor, including yourself, and if you have an Error 1018, try this out and post your results here! I'd love to hear that this works 100% of the time! Thanks everyone, and i really hope I can get back into the swing of things and start answering some questions around here soon!
