I have spent 13 hours trying to get this to work. All my friends are playing this game, and i can't. :( *sad face*

Out of curiosity, you guys did delete the whole EQ directory and reinstalled the game after you deleted their patch, right? Reason why is it's probably left some old files from their installation or God knows what else.

Also, make sure you have the latest DirectX installed.

EQGraphicsDX9.dll should be present in your EQ installation folder.

I deleted everything out from Program Files (x86)/sony

I even went as far as to just deleting the sony file it'self and everything in it..

I did the eqclient thing as well and it didn't work for me either...

Have you tried reading the FAQ in my sig yet for some possible ideas? I would suggest trying the compatibility mode changes and also definitely try the resolution changes (for EQ and your desktop) as well as maybe trying to run in Windowed mode. This problem is almost always due to a video issue related to resolution in one way or another.

Yah, it's a video issue for sure. I tried all of the suggestions already. The game likes to give the error after you double click shortcut.

Thanks to your tip and countless hours of troubleshooting I realized that running this game on a 1440x900 setting won't work...

so for all who have this issue just change the display settings to 800x600 and it should work

That's weird because deleting the eqclient.ini file should have reset it for you. There must be something else that's making it default to an unusable resolution.

Well it's a good thing you got it to work. Now go kill some stuff!
