Do you have anti-virus software installed? It's starting to sound like an AV attempt to passively block the program from running.

DFTIV 06-07-2012 11:20 PM

No it's not in the task manager, I get an hour glass icon and then nothing,

DFTIV 06-07-2012 11:21 PM

yes, but I turned it off and it still doesn't work. Should I of had it off when I was downloading eq titanium and installing it?

Vexyl 06-07-2012 11:23 PM

No, it seems like it didn't interfere with either of those. Just make sure that it's not blocking the game from running.

DFTIV 06-07-2012 11:24 PM

Yeah, Like I said it's off right now, so it can't do anything

Vexyl 06-07-2012 11:33 PM

It could be the case that it's trying to start with an unsupported resolution.
Open up eqclient.ini in your Everquest directory and add the following commonly supported options:

under [Defaults]
Code:

WindowedMode=TRUE
under [VideoMode]
Code:

Width=1024
Height=768
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60


DFTIV 06-07-2012 11:39 PM

Ok, my eqclient looks like this currently,

[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE


Also, I am wondering now if it might now be something with the video card driver, it's an ATI Radeon 3100 on a Toshiba labtop. I just read about various problems with these, not sure though, since this computer did run eqemu just fine when I first bought it.

Vexyl 06-07-2012 11:42 PM

Alright, so edit eqclient.ini to include what I've listed in my previous post and then try launching the game again.

ATI Radeon 3100 for laptops
Windows 7 32-bit: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-32.aspx
Windows 7 64-bit: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-64.aspx

Choose the link appropiate to your version of Windows.

If not Windows 7:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Edit: If [VideoMode] is missing then add it.

Code:

[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
WindowedMode=TRUE

[VideoMode]
Width=1024
Height=768
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60


DFTIV 06-07-2012 11:44 PM

So I should add the WindowedMode=TRUE above the sound true or replace it? and then add the whole other section including [VideoMode]

DFTIV 06-07-2012 11:45 PM

Awesome doing it now.

Vexyl 06-07-2012 11:53 PM

You may want to try getting that driver directly from Toshiba's website:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...t/jsp/home.jsp

Click Downloads and input the information for your laptop.

DFTIV 06-08-2012 12:05 AM

Ok I am going to try to download the driver now. The last thing didnt work either. Just to make sure, I am supposed to add the patchme to eqgame app, not EverQuest?

Vexyl 06-08-2012 12:07 AM

Right, you are supposed to make a shortcut to eqgame.exe and add patchme as a command-line argument.
In Windows you would do this by right clicking the shortcut and going to properties and appending patchme to the target path.

DFTIV 06-08-2012 12:08 AM

Right, that is exactly what I did. Just wanted to make sure.

Vexyl 06-08-2012 12:11 AM

If nothing works maybe you should try reinstalling from the EQ Titanium CD's without using the eqemu launcher that you mentioned earlier.
