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.

if you've managed to run any version of EQ on the machine you're having issues with, you've never mentioned it once in this thread, so claiming to have said "I am playing EQ1 just fine right now" is a bit of a stretch.

I have not tried older clients as I bought a new computer since playing on EQemu and installed RoF just now.

that indicated to me that you'd never run EQ on the computer you're having issues with. if the new computer doesn't have the directx 9.0c components required to run EQ (which are not included with directx 11, nor are they installed via the steam download), you'll need to install them. it doesn't require a downgrade of your installation of directx, nor will it cause you any issues with your directx. all of that information is located in the links i provided.

If he was running into a DX issue, I think he would get a crash or an error. Just getting a black screen normally indicates a client version issue. For example, he mentioned trying to use RoF to connect to EZ server, but EZ does not have the RoF client enabled yet, so that would cause him to get just a black screen on the RoF client. Storm Haven does have RoF enabled and it works fine, so if you have the correct RoF client that shouldn't happen.

There are a few reasons why you can get the black screen when connecting to a server, which are listed in the FAQ here:

The first thing you should check is your client version per this:

It is possible that Steam updated to a more recant patch of EQ than what we consider "RoF" as far as EQEmu compatibility goes, or maybe you patched it by mistake. I just downloaded a fresh copy of RoF from Steam a few days ago and mine is the correct version still, but they could have changed it since then (though I kinda doubt that).
