Character settings reset on logout

[RobertoSuave11]

I tried searching the forums for the solution to this and could not find any information. I apologize in advance for a re-post.

I started experiencing this issue a week ago. I don't remember doing anything out of the ordinary. I started EQEMU and got to the login server but instead of seeing the login screen first, I saw the seizure warning and the last "patch" message after logging in. The login server appeared fine with all the standard Emulator servers. When logging in, my entire UI was reset, all keyboard bindings and video settings were reset. On logout I received the seizure message and EULA prior to seeing the login screen.

I deleted my titanium installation and re-installed it, changed the eqhosts.txt and fixed the short cut.

I experienced the same thing. On logout, all settings are completely reset to default.

Any help with this?

Sounds like maybe you are running Vista and for some reason don't have write permissions to your EQ directory (so it can't save your settings).

You could try running EQ as an administrator, or if you have it installed into e.g. C:\Program Files\Everquest, move it or re-install it to C:\Everquest.

How are you logging off? If you use /exit, /quit or just close the window or something to log off, it will not save your UI settings. You have to /camp to character select for it to properly save your setting changes.

I used /camp every time, and never /quit or task manager.

I'll be trying the admin permissions shortly. I'm betting that's it. Thanks for the tip.

I went to the directory properties and set it to not be Read Only, which required Administrator Priviledges.

It recursively did all sub-folders making them all writeable.

This did not solve the problem.

Is there something else that needs to be done?

The fix was to go to Security and allow all users access to modify the directory and all it's contents.

Thanks again for the tip.
