[Orotiagito]

He's doing something wrong, can someone assist him please?

He's a follower of my twitch channel and I would like to get him started in p99.

[falkun]

No idea.

What hardware are you playing on?

Follow the guide in my signature step-by-step on how to install P99 without using the EQEmuLauncher. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

Are you making it to the server select screen? Where in the login process does this error present itself?

[AUnworthyKnight]

I am not making it to the Server selection screen right when i run the game it give me this error

[falkun]

Do you even see the Terms of Service (the initial accept/decline EULA/ToS/whatever its called)?

Looks like you're attempting to play through Windows Vista/7? (by examining the aero border on the window)

Did you install Everquest: Titanium?

Do you have DirectX installed correctly?

[AUnworthyKnight]

no yes I did install EQ titanium and yes i have installed DirectX correctly

[Lyra]

What version of .NET framework is installed?

[falkun]

What version of .NET framework is installed?

Why would you need .NET if you are not utilizing the EQEmuLauncher? I thought EQ only required DX?

[Lyra]

I dunno! It was one of the problems I had when I started. I don't even remember the error now, but it was related to NET Framework. I was using the launcher.

I came back to post asking if he has run Windows updates recently. If not, do that and try again.

[falkun]

I'm pretty sure EQ only requires directx. .NET framework is for the launcher only. No launcher, no .NET framework requirements.

Try editing your screen resolution in your eqclient.ini to be your native resolution, and edit windowed mode. At a certain point I'm going to stop stabbing in the dark and simply ask that you attempt reinstalling from scratch.

[AUnworthyKnight]

Yeah Went into my EQClient All its says is
[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=1
VertexShaders=TRUE
20PixelShaders=TRUE
14PixelShaders=TRUE
1xPixelShaders=TRUE
MultiPassLighting=FALSE
UseLitBatches=TRUE

So I reinstalled it and It still only says that

[Lyra]

eqclient.ini

I can tell you that most of the issues I've run into with the game not starting properly stemmed from windowed mode not being set correctly in eqclient.ini. For starters, open that file in a text editor and see that you have lines that look like this:


WindowedMode=TRUE

WidthWindowed=1024
HeightWindowed=768
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
If the height/width numbers are different, that's probably fine. Any resolution you want should work. I think all that matters is that both resolutions match, and that WindowedMode is set to true.

As Lyra suggested, that error message is normally an issue with the resolution in the eqclient.ini.

You can do as above or run the OptionsEditor.exe file in your Evequest folder and set the resolution to the lowest setting - then re-run the game and choose your resolution within the game.
