Nope! I applied there in 2013 and they didn't want me, so...

That reminds of that interview of Jack Ma (worth USD 40 billion, founder of Alibaba.com), where he told the story of the first KFC opening in his city (Shanghai?) and doing an initial recruitment round.

Jack Ma applied for a job there since he was unemployed.

Out of 30-odd people who applied, he was the only one to be denied.

Hey guys,

Quick reminder that I am wiping this Thursday evening, and going to launch a test on Friday evening. Most of the major issues have been resolved, and it's in a state where I feel comfortable with launching a test.

Feel free to join the discord and talk with us and pre-game for the first launch event, as well as get technical support about setting up the game client and instructions on getting started. In the case Discord isn't your thing, the website is also listed below.

https://discord.gg/mJZUUBm

or

Note that the test on the weekend is actually now going to be a two-week long test. If things work out, every other Friday will be wipes and the server will continue indefinitely.

See you there!

Someone figure this one out. I can't create a character as you can see.

- Downloaded the supported windows .zip from the TAKP wiki. (The supported windows client v2.0 (zipped) is available here)
- Replaced the .dll and spell file in the main TAKP folder. (The latest link Secrets posted https://tinyurl.com/eqbrfiles)
- Main login screens work fine. Default settings and resolution.
- No scripts or other programs running. Tried without OBS open.
- Restarted
- Tried another mouse
- Tried moving the character select window around, clicking fast / slow etc
- It will randomly go to the next screen and randomly select a class / race sometimes
- Escape works and goes back
- Tried changing the resolution on setup screen and on my computer to match it
- Tried deleting the eq ini
- Tried the msi installer
- Googled it
- Tried disabling all Luclin models
- Tried running with XP / SP3 compatibility mode.
- Tried running as admin
- I'm on Windows 7

Ideas?

Try disabling Windows Defender or any AV you have active.

[Saludeen]

Tried without AV or windows firewall. Same issue. Thanks for the suggestions though. Could be lots of things on my end like updating drivers, etc so i'll mess with it.

[Wonkie]

that looks like a cpu core thing
