trouble with character selection
 

I just got a new computer up and running, got eq all set up. I log in and click on ezserver and get to the character selection and my character is there jumpy, like my toon is stuck in a wall in game, anyway, it wont let me login, create a new character, quit, anything. the only thing you can do is hit esc and get out. I tried to select another server, same thing, character just jumps around and cant do anything

any suggestions?

what client are you using?

btw im running UF client if that helps

ive tried changing the screen resolutions, tried logging in with wineq2, with and without mq2 running

also, this is a fresh copy of windows 8 (which I already hate)

do you get the same results with other servers?

yes, every server

its like the character is doing that really really fast "on crack" dance lol

I just changed the client to windows mode true, and got the same

not finding anything regarding this issue. have DX9 installed and the correct graphics card selected via OptionsEditor.exe?

you know what, I updated direct x.............

i forgot, where do you check to see what directx you have

Run this, and if there's anything missing it will install it. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ils.aspx?id=35

great! Im running directx 11............

ok updated graphic card drivers, no change
clicked the link from lerxst that takes me to download dx again, did it, installed again, no change

nothing worse than getting a new computer and not being able to use it for what you bought it for lol

lol I guess I give up for tonight :(

FYI, there is nothing wrong with Windows 8 and running EQ / EQEmu. It works just fine.

yeah, I know ive been reading a lot and a lot of ppl have no problem. its just weird that I can log all the way in and just cant get it to go into game. its like the game is freezing on character selection screen

this is the log file if that helps

but, I feel good about today and someone having an answer! hehe

assuming this is a copy paste job of eq client to new comp, couple things that can be tried one at a time..

try deleting eqclient.ini
try seting eqgame.exe to one cpu via task manager
try settting eqgame.exe to winxp sp3 compatability mode

ok, reinstalled everything! lol

now its all good till I get to server screen. I select a server (any, tried all) and press play and screen turns black for a sec with a gold cursor then goes back to login screen
