sadly twice [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I gave up, it's not worth the trouble. thanks for the help guys

I will say this, I rebooted my machine and when I log in now, it doesn't kick me to login screen, it throws up a pop up saying I got an unknown error when trying to log into server. Something different this time /shrug

Unistalled the old EQTitanium, I even went and PAID for the full version of Daemion Tools. Did a fresh reinstall, did all the proper steps, logged in, it did the same thing again. Its like its TRYING to load it up in full screen.

Funny thing is I couldn't find any eqclient.ini file in the folder anywhere, I made a new one and copied the info from page 1 on this thread, still same thing. I mean SERIOUSLY??? What could it possibly be? I even added the updated files for P99, I ran it in admin mode as well. Still same crap.


I think its a resolution issue because primary monitor #1 goes full screen on launch while the resolution on monitor #2 goes all wacky, like the wallpaper gets all small like in the links I showed you on page 1. Thats what I think is going on, a resolution problem ..... now I have no idea how to look at that lol but thats what I think.

Ran it through again along with using WinEQ also. https://www.twitch.tv/idleknight/v/74592444

yea because I reinstalled it. Remember we moved it OUT of programs and it still did the same thing so I assumed we ruled that issue out.

EQ should just always be stored outside of program files folder period. Too many things can go wrong with it being inside there and no reason it needs to be installed there. Fresh install outside of Program files folder is best way to go.

What processor are you running in your PC?

What processor are you running in your PC?

Procesor - Intel® Core™ i7-6700-K
Memory - 32GB Dual Channel DDR3L
Video - 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti

And I we did earlier, we relocated everything to my documents folder and it still did the same thing, so it's not a location problem.

Something got me to thinking. I think everything I done is 100% correct with the install, I even redid the install today and place the install into a folder OUTSIDE the programs files section and still same problem. This is a brand new machine, could it be the video cards mucking with the game itself? Running 980Ti's. Anyone else running this new card and not having issues? I am just trying to rule stuff out.

I had this issue once as well, and what fixed it was any one of these things:
1. set your eqclient.ini resolution to match your monitor's native resolution
2. Set the icon you launch EQ from to run as an administrator
3. Set the icon you launch eq from to run in compatibility mode, windows XP service pack 2 or 3 should work.


I apologize if anyone has already suggested trying this, or if you've already fixed your problem.

Edit: going back and reading your problems, I'm almost certain this is a resolution issue. I'm not a super tech savvy guy but I was having the exact same problems and doing the above 3 things I suggested fixed it for me. If not, I would set EQ to run in windowed mode always (eqclient.ini) and mess with the resolutions (again, in the eqclient.ini file) until you find one that works. That's what I had to do. Its annoying but it eventually worked when I found the right setting.

1 When did you build this computer?

2 Did you reflash the BIOS?

3 Are you still unable to get past server select screen and stay in windowed mode?


for number 3, add this into your eqclient and see about changing resolutions (if 2 is not applicable - if it is, do 2):

WindowedMode-TRUE
WindowedWidth=800
WindowedHeight=600
Width=800
Height=600
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=800
HeightWindowed=600

Have you made a .bat file to launch your eqgame.exe and set affinity to just one of your processors?

Apparently this can help, though I am not exactly sure of how to do it.
