This has been posted multiple times but nothing will come of this.....why in the fuck everytime I load EQ does it revert my FULLSCREEN settings. Everytime I play the god damn game it will pop up in windowed mode fucking up my settings even if I hit fullscreen?

Can anyone please for the love of Christ help me on this?

Your ui file is corrupt. delete it. Try playing in a window. I play with a window of 1400x1050, since EQ was written with a 4:3 ratio and it cuts the top and bottom of the image off to get 16:9. Set you window to 1920x1080, or whatever you want to use. A lot of wierd things can happen with a corrupted ui file.

Did they lower server cap? I swear people were saying they had 2-3hour queues around launch. Figured it would of dropped pretty hard now, what 2 weeks in?

Amazing what gamers will put up with while complaining the entire time. It's no wonder companies just don't care, ignore it or just give their little PR response(like that jchan letter).

I think they lowered it in a kneejerk reaction to whatever was going on.

I also agree on gamers putting up with this shit. I see people complaining about "wasting all night waiting on a queue" and I'm thinking, just go do something else for another week or something, or log on and play early like I am right now. It's one thing if you're "competing" and the game is so meta at this point that strugglign through queues is about as fun as fighting over efreeti on the fourth server, but for the random person, why struggle?

I hope no one is sitting in front of their computer when they see a 200+m or even 15m queue. I queue and go do other activities

Prodigal · Jun 14, 2020

Actually got in about 30 minutes faster last night than the pop up said (190 minutes). Took my enchanter from 22 to 27 in an Unrest FP group. Now to the basement.

Need you folks logged in to ramp up the /ex and alt-F4 pranks.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Tuco · Jun 14, 2020

just logged off, someone get those two slots quick!!!

85m qeueu at noon on Saturday, hahahahah. I think there is also like 1/3rd the server capacity as there was at release.

I just got in after a 4 hour queue and then I got on my wizard, walked like 3 minutes and the game crashed. It's 12:11am... 201m queue.

The fact that they can't figure out how to let people who crashed back in without queing up again is ridiculous. I crashed a few times day 1, switched to default UI and haven't crashed since.

Tuco · Jun 14, 2020

Never crashed on aradune. Using a heavily modified sparxx ui

Korzax Stonehammer · Jun 14, 2020

And that's the problem, not everyone is crashing, so some people wrongly believe that the other person has a bad computer or some such nonsense. Just a crappy client with bugs in it.

Tearofsoul · Jun 14, 2020

There are settings you can change to lower the chance of crashing:

Options - Advanced - Memory Mode - Least memory usage
Stream Item Textures - Check
Terrain Texture Quality - Minimum

Well while I'm waiting in queue, is there a way to stop the lag when pointed west? Doesn't happen every single time, but it's as if west always has a giant pile of invisible players sitting afk. 3rd person view, and moving of course, I rarely play 1st

There is a line in eqclient: DisableWestBugFix=0

Setting that to 1 fix my problem? I don't care about any graphics glitches, apparently that's why it was patched in 10+ years ago.

When I led raids I found the biggest issue was people don't understand buff management. I'd /inspectbuffs and find people with all kinds of retarded shit wrong if they were a monk outside the top 10 on a parse especially.

buff classes = first responders. "pst c2/enlightenment/VoG/ ....." gotta stop. the nightmares.

Lambourne · Jun 14, 2020

Turn on texture caching and texture compression in the launcher options, turning those off made me crash within minutes. Haven't crashed once otherwise.

That's kind of amazing that is an actual option. I would actually pay just to browse their code base.

Every time i think EQ can't get any more ridiculous.

Asmadai · Jun 14, 2020

To give props where it's due, I gotta compliment the queue system in one way for being smart enough to let me queue up one on machine, then end up switching up to a new machine for that account and it holding my place in line from the original queue.

Arbitrary · Jun 14, 2020

Alright, so what's the stay at character select strat? Do you auto clicker to select between two characters every couple of minutes or so?
