Here's a strange problem which I havn't seen at all addressed on these boards (well, up through page 28 anyway). I just setup EQEmu for the first time last night and the game runs perfect except for one little thing...it displays no text.
Now, it still shows up all the built in art and what not (like the background images in the starting menu) but any foreground text isn't displayed. Erm, I'll try and give you guys an example.
When starting up the game it normally displays the EULA message in a big brown box, but in my case it just shows the big brown box with no text inside. It also doesn't display any of the menu names (instead just the image of the box the text goes in), any of the servers (but lets me select where they would be), and when I try to login to my account it doesn't display any of the text I type. I havn't tried joining any servers yet to see if text will get displayed in the game, but I'm thinking about trying that soon, though it's hard to join a server when you can't even see which ones are available :P.
I'm thinking it might be because I'm running Everquest Trilogy?
Any and all responses (no spam) are welcomed :D

P.S. I'll try and take some screenshots and post them here once I find a way to support them

(I hope I posted this in the right section :oops:)

Your problem lies with the EQ Live Client and is not related to EQemu.

Though, It clearly sounds like you are having a problem with your video drivers. Try re-installing the latest version of them.

Well I just tried reinstalling the latest drivers for my geforce and I'm still getting the same problems :?.

I'm running Detonator ver 45.23 on a GF2 GTS with the latest client.

I think there was a similar problem fairly common a year or so ago... had something to do with the eqtext.txt file.

I have noticed that I am having the same problem, I believe, however I haven't been able to log on, yet. The buttons on the main screen have no text or anything? Well, anyways, if you get it resolved, please, post the solution here, it would be very appreciated.

There is a similar problem with the eqtext.txt and eqstr_en.txt (or some similar filename). However, this one causes an error message in the respective areas of the game (like in a OK Button: "Error: Text not found (1234)").
Deleting the file and repatching should work.
