2 Monitors running off one pc
I am able to run 2 monitor off one pc. I tried to run one instance on 1 monitor and the second instance on the other monitor. But the frame rate is zero, I can't play the game with a zero frame rate. Do you know of anyway to fix this problem?
1/ Install winEQ 1.30
2/ Use the configuration tool (OptionsEditor.exe) and check if the instance supposed to run on the second screen is correctly configured (the first screen of the configuration tool asks you to choose your video card)
3/ If you upgraded winEQ from an earlier version, try to delete the blocking profile and create a new one (solved a problem here where the session on the secondary screen was running fine but the one on the main screen was fixed)

A few details then :
The problem when launching winEQ on the secondary display causes a close to zero FPS ingame.
It looks like an already seen issue but doesn't appear to be winEQ related.
dragging the secondary monitor's session to the main monitor solves the FPS issue.
Here's a portion of the log file, I don't know if it can be of any help :

You seem to be using the primary display adapter. WinEQ lite doesn't change any dual monitor settings regardless of whether you check the box in the profile. To use the secondary display with WinEQ lite, you must have EQ itself set to use the secondary display. This will be much more clear in WinEQ 2.0.
I have just tried to erase a few ini files and run EQ without winEQ to make a new and clean configuration.
Some funny things appear :
in eqclient.ini, despite the fact I did choose 1158x864 size :
[VideoMode]
Width=1600
Height=1200
WidthWindowed=1600
HeightWindowed=1200
RefreshRate=0
BitsPerPixel=16

(Now I know where the n.dll comes from)
After changing manually the size in eqclient.ini I tried to run EQ alone, it keeps on ignoring the fact I chose nvidia dualview as display instead of nvidia geforce 4 and loads on the primary screen (with a fluent animation)
Switching to windowed mode and dragging the window to the screen it should run results in the same poor performances.
and running EQ using the winEQ profile still have the same result.
Definitely not a winEQ trouble, it seems the Everquest client just ignores the video card configured and is able to run only on the primary display.

(Now I know where the n.dll comes from)
After changing manually the size in eqclient.ini I tried to run EQ alone, it keeps on ignoring the fact I chose nvidia dualview as display instead of nvidia geforce 4 and loads on the primary screen (with a fluent animation)
Switching to windowed mode and dragging the window to the screen it should run results in the same poor performances.
and running EQ using the winEQ profile still have the same result.
Definitely not a winEQ trouble, it seems the Everquest client just ignores the video card configured and is able to run only on the primary display.
Complete winEQ log for the last test :
