(Simplified Version of the below question - How can I run 2 clients of eq [2box] at 1600x1200 each, while being able to clearly view all text)


Hello, Im trying to 2box and for some reason EQW won't work for me. I am able to 2box without EQW but without fullscreen and on a higher end resolution the picture does not look very good to the point where it is unplayable (fuzzy text).

Im pretty sure Game windows has the solution to this problem but for some reason when I load my client with EQW enabled it keeps a blank login sized screen over my game once it loads and logs in a character. I have to alt tab to get control of the ingame but then that menu is still in there.

I was able to constantly alt tab to guess where my curser was and change the resolution to 1600 by 1200 and even with Game windows that resolution looks funky (text is unreadable, even with a big font).

Im mainly trying to see if it's possible to 2box with both games using 1600 by 1200 with the text being readable. So far only full screen mode will give me those results.

If it's not possible, thats ok and im not going to stop playing because of it. I'd just hate to spend years on this game to suddenly find out that was indeed possible.
 
I had this problem with my HD tv when I was first playing on 1080i because the refresh rate is halved 30Hz. So I switched it to 60Hz and it fixed it up np for me. Hopefully that helps you.
 
I tried changing my desktop refresh to 60, then in game to 60, and tried eqw and without eqw.

I didn't seem to notice any difference.
 
Well I feel really stupid. I fixed the problem...

The problem was that I had my desktop resolution set to 800x600 and was trying to run this game (not in full screen) at 1600x1200.

When I switched my desktop resolution to match my ingame at 1600x1200 it looks crystal perfect.

Yes, you can say it.. I am a retard!
