Game Will Not Load Past Server Select - Page 6

Well, isn't that because I have never actually made it into the game so it hasn't done that yet? Also could I not simply copy and paste yours and try that? Also no i checked, there is only 1 ini in my folder.

You can try and copy it over. Maybe just change all the values to whatever your resolution is going to be.

Ok i know before you said you did stuff in the bios. Did you just update it? Found another thread(not even sure this might have been the one in the post i linked before but worth a shot): http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...77#post1553177

Will check it next time I am on the comp, might be tomorrow though.

Hello MASQue. I don't know if you resolved this, but I was having the exact same problem. I have an M5A99FX Pro 2.0 motherboard with an AMD FX 8350 and an R7 370. EverQuest is installed in its own folder, right off the root drive and I followed the instructions for installation, just like you did, save that I used Duxa's resolution changer to get 1920x1080. I have 16GB of RAM and tried opening ports and making firewall allowances, updated all of my drivers, et cetera. It had to be the software, right? Kind of, I guess. I think it's a speed cheat check and it is looking for gross clock speed variations.

So I turned off turbo and uninstalled overdrive: nothing worked. Then I got an idea that maybe I needed to update my BIOS, since it had been years since I'd done so. If it's working, why mess with it?
After learning that there is a new file format for BIOS upgrades (new, like, five years ago. 8b), I put the BIOS file on my FAT32-formatted, House Stark USB memory stick and flashed it with EZFlash from the then-current BIOS. After reorganizing the boot order and checking that no overclocking was going on, I got back into Windows 10 and booted up EQ. It worked straight away!

I do hope this works for you. I logged into Cabilis and was overjoyed to see at least 12 other people running around. It has been years since I've experienced that.

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.

Edit: going back and reading your problems, I'm almost certain this is a resolution issue.

1. did that, didn't work
2. did that, didn't work
3. did that, didn't work

edit: I am almost 100000000000000% this is a resolution issue BUT I also cannot force this game on this new machine to load in Windowed mode and yes I have the ini set to windowed mode and it STILL loads in full screen.

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

1. 2 months ago give or take
2. yes
3. no and no

I change my ini settings to the exact thing you posted, same crap happens. One thing I want to post is, I logged on Live EQ and went into the server exactly how I was supposed to with no problems (Windowed Mode and all). Watch the new P99 login recording at https://www.twitch.tv/idleknight/v/75668967 Here is me trying to log in using wineq program https://www.twitch.tv/idleknight/v/75671199

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.

No idea how to do that even though I have NEVER had to do that with quad cores or anything else.

I had an issue where one day this EQ client decide to up and start spitting out memory access violations and would crash the game when trying to login.
It turned out to be related to the eqclient.ini settings that got corrupted.

What Tasslehof suggested, is a good place to start.

Questions I would pose to you :

1. Is this installation copy the same as you have on your laptop (which you said is working correctly?)

2. Have you considered uninstalling it all, cleaning out any trace of EverQuest and downloading the prebundled P99 package on TPB (or similar?) Search for project 1999 everquest get the Velious version.

You won't need to install it - extract and place into whatever directory you want.

And I would run it before making any eqclient.ini adjustments. It was never required for me to get it working.

1. Previous installs were, not this one tho but they are doing the same exact thing so that's not the problem.
2. Did all of that, still same exact problem
