Everquest crashes after a fresh install of titanium
 

Hi, i would like to get back into playing eqemu but i have a problem, its ok i know how to fix it but i need some help. A few months ago when i was playing on eqemu i had the same prblem right after i installed the game i would do the whole login server and such but it would load a black window and crash. A use had the fix but i can't find the post, the reason why it wont work is because of the eqclient.ini file mine is incomplete and theres only 2 ways to get it. Patch to live which is the very opposite of what i want to do. Or if i can have someone e-mail me theirs or post it in this forum, or link me the other post. My e-mail is supermansmash@yahoo.com either one will help a bunch thank you in advance. Also alot of the post i have read it sounds like this is their problem maybe they can benifit from this one since its a more recent one of its type.

Oh and if this is bad for asking for help for the file please don't ban me just delete the post only asked because i saw someone put the file up before. well they just copied and pasted the whole thing though. Either way wrks i guess.

Doesn't the eqclient.ini just re-create itself if you try to log in and play on any server???

I thought the game would notice the file missing and re-create one based off the default settings.

Its been a while since I have and I am not at home to test it out..

I tested this just now and it's true. I delete my eqclient.ini file and when starting EQ the next time it will recreate the file for you with defaults.

If this is not happening the only suggestion I would have would be to run the Options button and configure your graphic/sound options. Perhaps this will regenerate the file for you.

Are you sure that its the ini file that is messed up. Someone else was having the same issue because they did not change Everquest.exe to eqgame.exe in thier shortcut. Running Everquest.exe with the patchme command results in a error for me. I have never heard of the ini file being messed up straight out of the box, unless you may have a integrated graphics card like Intel's GMA 950 which doesnt have shader model 2.0 and hardware t&l, which the graphic improvents in the game can take advantage of these features now. If they're turned on, it will also most likely end up in a crash.

I know it dosent make no sense thats why i had to confirm it the first time it happened a few months ago but that was the problem and getting someones full .ini file fixed and after the launched and i tweaked the options then it would update its self. I think it happens to a very few people because of their copy of titanium. I wish i could find that post that had the fix and problem to it or i could show you because it was all figured out in the post. Even when i try and just delete the .ini file eq dosent replace it only if i patch to live will it fix it unless i get a copy of someone elses. or i actually patch to live and get the file. and then reinstall titanium and delete the patched version bla bla u all know what i'm talking about. I know it sounds stupid they way it works but thats just the way it is for me i have no idea either, and just getting a new eqclient.ini file is the easiest way for me to fix it. Also i know the lines in the shortcut are right, and changing it dosent work for me.
If anyone can help be by just posting the text inside their eqclient.ini or e-mail it to me at the addy above i will be in debt to you.

P.S. if u don't want a long ass post just shrink the text down to like font 4 or something i'm just gonna copy and paste anyways.

Okay sorry for the double post, i found the thread i was looking for. The reason why the eqclient.ini file is so messed up for me is because of the display refresh or something like that w/e. http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthr...0&page=2&pp=15
is the like to the thread that i got the .ini file info from and in goes into a bit ore depth. i had to just click previous thread til i found it again but thanks alot for the help. see ya in game

Hmm, well thats awesome you found that post. I have never seen that problem before. What kinda graphics and Monitor do you have?

HP dvt9000 laptop, GeForce Go 7600 display is the laptop i guess...it also does it on another comp, its a desktop with a monitor from like 1993 or something lol with not sure about the vid card tho. I had to upgrade it to a 256mb nvidia a long time ago, but i'm not sure what the name is. Either nvida is making some jacked up cards or its just my copy of titanium. I got it to work tho so its all good. Do the AA's work yet or has no one figured out how to get them to work yet?

Just search a bit and your question would be answered. AA's are partially complete. A damn good job from my opinion. Last I knew you had to get the AA_Data.SQL file and source it into your database. I do not know if this is still required with the latest binaries tho :/

Do a search on the forums for the file name and it should pop up quickly.

Did a search for it, got nothing except my own post with your reply in it lol. i'm not starting my own server but if i wanted to aa's to show would i still need that file? ive tried a few servers and its like it was before with alot of the aa's missing or not working. Is that just the server or is it me? sorry its been a long time since i last played lol. Thanks in advance

Here ya go
 

You are correct. I didn't show up in a search at all! So much for that advice lol :P

Page 2 of the topic. Look for KLS's link to it.

I again do not know if this is a currently needed step to get AA's to work. I do not know if it is included in current offered downloads.
