win 7 pro Everquest full screen emulation text distoration

bandoslav · Post by **bandoslav** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 6:08 pm

Just built a new windows 7 pro rig (upgraded from xp pro) and I now have distorted & vastly under-resolution text while in full screen emulation. This distortion is immediate from the EULA through every text in the game. If I play in window, everything is perfect.

When i upgraded the rig, i did a clean download & install of wineq. I did not clean install everquest files, I did microsoft file transfer. On my xp rig I did not have this problem. I've played around with a ton of settings / preferences now and I've not stumbled upon anything that seems to help. However, in general options the "dont normalize" setting that is defaulted to OFF (and I play with it off)...if it's turned on I get the same distortion in windowed mode that I am having in full screen emulation. Any help is appreciated.

Here's the problem:

Adapter Display Mode: 1920x1080 D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8
Game Display Mode: 1792x1344 D3DFMT_UNKNOWN (Full Screen)

Your Windows is in 1920x1080, but EQ is in 1792x1344. If you want it to look right, put EQ in 1920x1080.

That was it, thank you very much for the swift response. Set game resolution to 1920 x 1080 for the fix.
