Game freezes when I select a server (RoF)
 

I am having the same problem a couple others are.

I just downloaded RoF via Steam. I followed the instructions (changed host, added patchme to properties, etc). I log in fine, see the list of Emu servers, but the second I click one, my screen goes black and freezes.
Anyone know why this could be happening?

Servers I have tried to log into: Stormhaven, EZ Server.

try running OptionsEditor.exe

I ran it.

Still freezing when I select a server.


I downloaded the Steam game, change host path as instructed, added patchme as instructed, thats all I need to do as a former EQemu user, right? Since I have the accounts and whatnot.

as far as i'm aware, yes.

i'm assuming you're able to log on with an older client, right?

I have not tried older clients as I bought a new computer since playing on EQemu and installed RoF just now. But other posts I am reading with similar issues (locking up when you click a server) have not had luck with older clients. And these servers are RoF compatible so something is wrong on my end, I don't know.

do you have the correct version of direct x installed?

What is the correct version? I've been playing retail EQ for a year now. Getting Started guide doesn't mention what directX is needed.

it's not in the guide because it's not really an emulator requirement. it's an everquest installation requirement.

I have directx11 according to my dxdiag, I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with my issue of freezing at server select.

Guess ill download an older version over night since I dont know what else to do.

*facepalm

it REQUIRES 9.0c...

DX11 is integrated with WIndows 7.. I am not sure wtf you are talking about. It can't even be deleted. Ive been playing EQ this whole time using DX11. I cant install 9.0c because my version is newer. If you have anything to help then please do but you really aren't by facepalming. You're just wasting my time.

i was helping, but you're quite obviously refusing to listen to what you are being told. good luck to you.

You arent reading my responses.

IT CANT BE INSTALLED BECAUSE I HAVE A NEWER VERSION
IVE PLAYED DX11 EQ FOR YEARS
ITS INTEGRATED WITH WINDOWS 7

jesus christ good riddance.

the problem is that you are wrong.

What part of "I am playing EQ1 just fine right now" dont you understand? I just logged into my retail EQ via Steam with DX11 (ive told you this 20 times). Problem is when I adjust to EQemu host, it freezes.
