[hypokinetic]

dbg.txt follows:

any ideas folks?

 

[Ollaolas]

Yup, I have the same problem. I've tried pretty much everything, and it's not working.

Open you eqclient.ini and double check to see if your refresh rate is set to 60 and not 0 .

 

[vykarsis]

;( ok this is the same thing that is happening to me . two days in a row.
I changed my file like the post about said but that dosent work.

Also my dbg.txt is almost identical.

plz if anyone has a solution help us out .

 

[mseals]

OK because a mnod here isn't gonna tell you I will ... I had same prob and it is caused by one of 2 things .. #1 make sure your video drivers are the newest for your video card ..
Next install the drivers and restart the computer.

Now you want to delete the eqclient.ini, eqgfx_dx8.dll, EQGraphicsDX9.dll, eqmain.dll, eqhardware.ini and eqgame.exe from your EverQuest directory. One or more of those files maybe corrupt, causing these issues. To do this please follow these directions:

First look for your EverQuest directory. You can find your EverQuest Directory in these 2 likely locations:

Click on MY COMPUTER\C:\PROGRAM FILES\SONY\EVERQUEST

Click on MY COMPUTER\C:\PROGRAM FILES\EVERQUEST

Next look for the files eqclient.ini, eqgfx_dx8.dll, eqmain.dll, eeqhardware.ini and eqgame.exe, and delete them from your EQ directory.

Afterwards, please start WRPatcher to have these files recreated by the patcher. Once the patcher has finished press Play and try the game.

I did it with everything unmarked and it went right through ..

Sorry dang lag poseted alot

 

[mseals]

PLease delete these extra posts mods

 

[dbum]

Wow, talk about a case of deja vu.

 

[vykarsis]

tryed this didnt work either . Starting to really drive me crazy.

I can get on after my computer has been off over night, but one disconecction and i cant get back on all day.

I have tryed laveing my computer off for a few hours and it still does it.................... getting to a frustrating level now.

 

[vykarsis]

ok!! I have the solution. well a temp on anyway.

1, open the Folder where you have the WR patcher installed to.
2, open the wrfiles folder
3, delete the file eqgfx_dx8.dll
4, Rerun patcher.
5, Worked for me , hope this helps anyone else with this problem.

ok when you redid all that did you make sure EVERYTHING was unchecked. If you try to load to many graphics it will crash every time. uncheck all the types of things ( human , ogre, etc ) And on the next screen uncheck all those as well (sound , animations, ) Next set it at low graphics and 800 x 600 this will allow you to load the files .
