Server Setup Issues

[knight1080]

All right...just reinstalled everything according to http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=ws992mysql5 and I still am getting this error:

?
So close I can smell it...grah. Update MySQL and rehash?

Try searching the forums for "Error: #1251:" and you shouldn't have any trouble resolving the issue. Let us know if you have anymore problems. You just have to set the old password.

Aaaaaaall righty...finally got everything working, -gasps!-, world loads, zones load, etc, but I cannot get into the log in server. Did I need to register the server on the website? I've tried earlier, but the activation key is apparently invalid, and I've seen many a'post about how the server reg page is obsolete, and I know the answer is out there somewhere. However, my idear is that instead of pulling my hair out and looking up and down the forums, I'm hoping someone could just stumble upon this and hit me with whatever the crap it is.

Almost there >_<

And scratch the last. Got it up and running. Only problem I can see so far is..well...the graphics are cracked out. Does/has this happened to anyone else? I'm searching for answers -puts on his snooping hat-

[trevius]

Try to be as clear as possible when reporting any issues please. I don't think "cracked out graphics" is going to get you any clear answers lol. Does the same problem happen on any server you try to play on, or just your own?

[knight1080]

Yeah my apologies about that--posted that between 4-5am, so...blah.

Anywho, by 'cracked out graphics', I meant that everything is accelerated to an unbearable point which made all the graphics glitchy. I notice it on any server I connect to.

Here are 2 very common fixes to hardware and OS issues which is most likely your problem:

Dual Core CPU Fix:
Dual (or Quad) Cores cause crashes, but has a simple fix.
1. Start EQEmu
2. Before logging into the login server, ATL+TAB out of the program and hit CTRL+ALT+DEL
3. Select the 'Processes' Tab
4. Find the eqgame.exe process and right click it
5. Select 'Set Affinity' and then chose CPU 0
6. Return to EQ and run like normal

Alternatively, if you are running an AMD processor, you can fix it by just installing the AMD Optimizer.

Running in Compatibility Mode to fix Windows Vista and/or Dual/Quad Core CPU Issues:
1. Right click on the Everquest shortcut you created during the eqemu setup process. The wiki page can be found here for information to get setup:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=PlayGuide
2. Select "Properties".
3. Click the "Compatibility" Tab.
4. Check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
5. First try selecting Windows XP from the drop down menu there.
6. Click OK and run Everquest again to see if the problem is resolved.
7. If Windows XP compatibility mode does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 1 through 4 and try all of the other options 1 by 1 until the problem is resolved.

This fix does not work on all systems, but it has definitely helped to resolve issues for many people running Windows Vista and/or Dual/Quad core CPUs.
