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?

hnooker 01-10-2013 10:46 PM

btw im running UF client if that helps

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 10:47 PM

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

c0ncrete 01-10-2013 10:48 PM

do you get the same results with other servers?

hnooker 01-10-2013 10:52 PM

yes, every server

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 10:52 PM

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

c0ncrete 01-10-2013 10:55 PM

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 10:59 PM

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 11:00 PM

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

lerxst2112 01-10-2013 11:02 PM

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 11:02 PM

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 11:36 PM

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 11:44 PM

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

hnooker 01-10-2013 11:58 PM

lol I guess I give up for tonight :(

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

hnooker 01-11-2013 09:45 AM

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

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

rencro 01-11-2013 08:19 PM

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

hnooker 01-13-2013 08:36 PM

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
