Also having trouble getting EQ to startup. I try to run it and screen blinds black then back to desktop.

I followed the instructions list on the play guide, then tried the following as listed in FAQ:

-Ive tried opening EQ under ever res. listed.
-Tried changed my desktop resolution.
-tried running eq in "640x480" compat. mode.
-Updated eqclient to a more modern one.

Help please

Hmm... it looks like that may not be the issue. Maybe check your refresh rate? I think over 60Hz used to cause an issue (it's been a while).

Also all the usual stuff... make sure you're using a clean install of Titanium (plus whatever mods the server you're trying to play on requries) and you haven't patched, etc etc.

My refresh rate is at 60Hz.

I appreciate the help and would love to resolve this issue and be able to play if you have any more ideas.
