PSA: When I click, sometimes my game changes from full screen to windowed

[myxomatosii]

I feel like with so many new players, this will be common enough problem to be in Server Chat where more will see it.

Its because when you changed from windowed to full screen, the windowed version wasn't covering up the part of the screen where you clicked. Re-size the windowed version to take up as much of your screen as possible before changing to full screen.

Hope this helps anyone with the problem.

Titanium client is stupid like that.

The only thing I would add is that when stretching or resizing the window, it doesn't always stay at the position you moved it to. It snaps back to where it was before. However if you move it anyways, and let it snap back and THEN switch to fullscreen, it actually lines up with where you attempted to move it!

I've learned to live with windows mode. It's why you see me on the forums at all really. If anyone would like me to shut up,
please help fix my fullscreen w/o clicks to desktop or reset device fails.

My post count would be less too.

While we're on the subject of annoying-things-Titanium-does, sometimes the EQ window seems to have a "stay on top" mode activated, and I can't see ANY windows over top of it (volume mixer being a big one, as well as the start button, OBS, twitch, forums, etc...)

It seems to be a coin flip whether or not this will happen. It never seems to behave like this at the start of a play session, but it always seems to switch into this at some point if I've been playing for a while.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sup wit dat?

Also does anybody else's mouse stutter HORRIBLY (as if you are using a laggy RDC connection) like 5% of the time you play, for seemingly no reason at all whatsoever?

Starting to think maybe space weather is to blame for these things.

If you are using Windows 7 sometimes it helps to Win+Tab to switch between windows, that seems to kick the screen loose and prevent it from staying in focus over other windows. I agree that is annoying though and probably not fixable with titanium =/

I found how to fix it on mine, go into options, set it to fullnscreen, then go to change the resolution, but just agree to the change that didn't change anything. It seems to lock it into being fullscreen.

mine does that with certain UIs. no idea why. basically if you hover mouse over the far left, right, top, bottom you can kinda see your desktop icons clipping thru the fullscreen eq window. if you click those spaces it goes to windowed mode. try changing UIs

This is the reason right here why I can't use vent during raids, I just thought It was because I'm running on a 2001 acer laptop.

Wish windowed mode didnt screw up some text lines.. Making them hard to read.

custom UIs seemed to have helped

I do this everytime, works good.

Thats a problem inherent in the game and how it scales with your monitors base resolution.



I guess none of you checked out https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming but it solves every problem listed so far. Free fullscreen windowed mode for EQ.

I just tried it out, works pretty slick.

Thumbs up for borderless gaming.

I just found that site a couple days ago thanks to a friend ( JWG reppin !) and am in love with it.

Just run the program before you start EQ ( its suppose to run automatically once you set it up to remember EQ but sometimes doesnt work for me) and voila you can tab freely AND your game is full screen in all its glory.

Interesting... Never been able to go full screen either. Sick of playing at a smaller resolution in windowed mode... =(

Word didn't know there was a fix for this just thought I had to deal with it. Thanks for the psa.

This works on all my computers

Go to your EverQuest folder, find "eqclient.ini" and open it in notepad. Type Ctrl + F to bring up the search window. Search for "[VideoMode]" (with the brackets). Under that you should see "WindowedWidth" and "WindowedHeight" directly under that. Type "=XXXX" after each one, where X is the fullscreen resolution you normally game in.

For example, mine looks like this:

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1080
Width=1920
Height=1080


All clickthrough problems should be fixed.

Borderless Gaming program is a godsend, thanks for that.
