split screen settings?
Ok I am new here and totally lost i searched over an hours no luck. All i want to do is set up split screen for two accounts seems easy but I just cant find settings for that...
Well, you're just looking in the wrong place, which is perfectly fine 
WinEQ 2 adds custom resolutions, including two split-screen resolutions, to EQ's list of resolutions that you can select from inside the game. WinEQ 2 leaves resolution up to EQ other than that, but does have options for scaling the window (such as the full screen emulation, "normal" and "tiny" presets, as well as the Tiling feature). The problem with split-screen is that we can't just scale the window -- everything would look very tall and skinny, or very short and fat, and you wouldnt have a good time trying to read any of the text in the game.
So what you do is go all the way into the game, hit Alt+O, select the Display tab, and click Video Modes. In the list will be two modes that are half of your screen resolution in one direction, and the full size in the other. For example, if your Windows desktop resolution is set to 1280x1024, you will find 640x1024 and 1280x512. Try each of them and see if you like either -- many people think it sounds good at first, but then discover that they dont really like having their field of vision smaller, or that they liked their EQ user interface set up in a very specific way, and it just doesnt fit in split-screen modes. Probably just as many people, though, find that they like one or the other and cope with the field of vision and UI changes.
