actually your conjecture and asusmptions are incorrect my girl told me about EQ i waited for titanium then started playing sorry to burst your bubble there but really trevius it would help if you actually asked instead of just getting an idea in your head and running with it.

I mean really waht possible purpose can it serve to call someone a thief before you even know the first thing about them.

Give me a few moments to find the right file you can kick into fullscreen by deleting a single file in your titanium directory i gotta remember which one though.

Compatability mode sounds like you are using vista and yes vista is buggy with EQ trevius dont argue my girl has issues with vista and eq all the time and so have i as well.

Give me a bit and ill get you an answer and hopefully a solution

Seriously, Aergad, if you are going to fight with me even in support threads where I am just trying to help someone, then you really don't belong here. Debating issues is fine, but starting a fight in random support threads is getting out of hand. I am asking you kindly to stop. You know I have access to ban you permanently and yet you still want to pick a fight with me, lol.

As I said, it was an assumption. Most people who buy an expansion pack on the day it is released are already playing the game prior to that.

Most of the time, I do just ask if they are using a legal copy. I also normally even make alternate suggestions of things to try in the case that it is legal. But, in this particular case, I don't think it is a legal installation. Could I be wrong? Certainly! Am I? Only Bidon45 could answer that for sure.

Even if it is an illegal copy, it isn't like I am trying to slander them by suggesting it. It is no secret that many members of this community do not use legal copies. We just won't support illegal copies or allow them to be discussed here. Even if the legal issues weren't a factor, it would still be a pain because the emulator only supports 3 certain versions of EQ out of hundreds or maybe thousands of versions. We should never have to waste our time trying to support the wrong version.

The file is eqclient.ini or maybe the other file for video mode settings.

Compatibility mode is a feature on all Windows versions, or at least XP and Vista for sure. I know Vista is buggy, but his OS wasn't even specified yet. I don't personally run Vista, but I am well aware that there are issues with it and EQEmu.

If you know the solution to his issue, then all you had to do was post it. There is no reason or excuse for starting an argument in a support thread about who is right. I don't know the answer to every question, but if I have any idea to possibly help with, I will post it. If some of those ideas are not completely perfect, then what does it really matter? I would rather see a large number of people trying to help even with ideas that show they actually care to help (even if they are wrong) than to have everyone afraid to help because they are worried about being yelled at for giving the wrong solution.

Im working on a solution actually eqc;ient.ini has the video settings but if he deletes that file it could totally fry his install, there is however a file that can safely be deleted that makes the client revert all back to defaults and then it remakes the file i just cant remember the name...

On vista change the compatability to off try the game ( I had to do it with EQ And SWG Live clients on my vista system) If that doesnt work put compatability into windows xp sp2 setting make sure its run as administrator and all that leave all other settings default in compatability mode.

try opening up the eqclient.ini file mentioned find windowedmode=1 change that to 0 (might be mistaken but windowed is part of the name of that variable)

Now that said check your firewall sounds like its snatching up the packets remember for eq you need to open tcp/udp ports even to play on some firewalls/routers the exact ports are easily found on the sony knowledgebase i just dont have time to find them right now.

If all that doesnt work well then pm me and i will come up with a couple more ideas lol


trevius my only issue was how you handled the thread you basicly flat out said he pirated his titanium in no uncertain terms. and That was my issue. his issue migh well just be vista all on its own vista has a great many issues with games

I figured it out. I did NOT have any other version of real EQ installed, however - I DID have the trial (Escape to norrath) installed. It was installed in a different directory, but for SOME reason it was having an effect on how my EQ opened. I uninstalled and deleted escape to norrath, re-installed EQ Titanium, and it started working properly. So... Note to anyone else who runs into this issue, if you have escape to norrath installed, get rid of it first.
