I had a bad lag problem that I could not solve. New drivers, re-load DirectX, re-patch executables, all kinds of crap.

What fixed it:
DirectX had disabled D3D support. I still had DirectX, Direct Sound, but no D3D support. Enabled it, and it all worked fine again. Really wierd.

Greetings...

Your DirectX options will be in a dxconfig file. Do a find on your C: drive for dx*.* You will find the file with an icon that looks like a black circle with a yellow X on it...


Also I'm STILL having major. My datarate I have played on 5.0, 7.0 & 10.0 & I'm still have major LAG issues. I LD a minute after logging in. I'm running the solo server using minilogin. My D3D is active in my directX & I have the most updated drivers. I've lowered my graphic settings within EQ itself, but still dying. :(

Anything else out there to check?

Default within EQ itself?

Lowered your graphic settings within EQ itself?

You need to lower your graphic settings from the desktop......

right click on your desktop
select properties
goto settings tab
Under COLORS set it to 256 or maybe 16bit

Your talking about connecting to your own server right?

I'm currently set at 16bit. I couldn't get EQW to work until I did that... But I will try the 256 to see if that works.
