Troubles entering world-eq1

[Katlikeeq]

I get the message...

Direct3D failed to render the screen after a failed reset. The process will now close.

I get this message after the charicter select screen on eq 1 as my charicter enters the world. I was able to enter the world on the test server tho. Any idea what would cause this?

I would suggest upgrading Windows to SP2 (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) and update your video drivers (http://www.nvidia.com). You may want to look at updating directx as well (http://www.microsoft.com/directx).

Note that the Windows updates now require Windows Genuine Advantage.

What he said.

To the best of my knowledge, WinEQ 2 works flawlessly with a clean installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and the latest versions of appropriate drivers (video, sound, motherboard, etc). If you're using Service Pack 1, I can't guarantee that everything will work properly, and this isn't because WinEQ 2 is flawed, but because there have been changes to the operating system (various fixes and such), and even DirectX.

In addition to fearless' suggestions, make sure you have the latest DirectX -- they put out updates every couple months, and the latest is February 2006. You can get the latest DirectX here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

Ill try that, thanks guys

[Katlikeeq]

Any other ideas? I downloaded ALL of the windows updates including SP2(took like 3.75 hours), New video drivers, lastest version of Directx and I still get the same message

Post a new sysinfo.txt.

Hmmm... well, you're certainly in good shape as far as Windows and your video card now. I dont know why you'd have this problem still. Try making a backup of your eqclient.ini file, and deleting it.

To do so, you can paste this into start->run
C:\Everquest\Sony\EverQuest\

When it opens up an explorer window, find "eqclient" or "eqclient.ini" - depends on if you have file extensions visible (they are hidden by default). Make a copy of it (you can do this by selecting eqclient, hitting copy, and then paste, and it will be called Copy of eqclient). It doesnt matter what it's called or anything like that, but it is useful to have it just in case you want to revert to the eqclient.ini you had before. Anyway, after you've made the copy, delete the existing eqclient.

Then launch EQ through WinEQ 2, and EQ will set it up with default settings, and hopefully you should be able to enter the world. If not, then we can assume that it's probably not related to EQ settings. If you can, then it's definitely related to EQ settings, and you could use the default eqclient.ini settings as a known good starting point

Let me know if this helps.

[Katlikeeq]

I tried deleteing the eqclient, no go, I still get the same message

[Katlikeeq]

I got it working, All i needed to do was turn down the resolution, Thanks for the help guys
