nParse installation Q

Hi y'all,

Workin on installing nParse and running into an issue selecting the Log directory. Navigating to my EQ folder, there is no "logs" folder, even after doing /log two times now on separate characters, and get the "logging has been turned on" response in-game, so I know that's not the issue... another location? Idk. Looking for input/suggestions to resolve this

If you installed EQ in Program Files there will be permission issues and the EQ Client cannot modify/write files in its own directory. When this happens it will use the Users/AppData directory to write/create files. This will be true with Settings, Logs, Screenshots etc.

Windows 11 I believe is Users/Default/AppData. May have to search around but should see a Sony/Everquest folder somewhere within the AppData

Best fix would be to move your EQ folder to the C: drive out of Program Files. Though doing so you'll have to setup your UI/macros again unless you copy settings files from AppData to the new EQ directory

Okay, yeah. I read something like this. So I navigated to C:/Users/ and I have Public and AccountName, neither of which contain AppData... EQ is in Program Files x86, not sure if that matters.

Save yourself future headaches and move your install. Otherwise, turn on "show hidden files and folders" - that's why you aren't seeing your appdata folder.
