Character select screen

[Swish]

OK, probably (hopefully) my last post in this section!

Got to the character select/character creation screen, but there's no interface on the screen with lists of races/classes...just the human "Newbie" and the background.

Any suggestions? :P

The window is prolly off to the side..

[Swish]

No matter which resolution I use it goes to a square windowed box (about 25% of the total screen).

Very odd.

Had a moment of clarity...

Alt+enter... this maximised the screen but merely stretched it and still does not show what should be displayed to the left and right.

If only I could make a character! lol.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Screenshot, if it helps describe the issue!

Will donate $5 to Project 1999 for an answer that leads to being able to play! :P

F10? :)

[Swish]

F10? :)

Not sure what F10 does, but just tried it... no change, still the screenshot as you see it above :(

Keep the suggestions coming guys, even if its wild guesses... $5 to Project1999 for solving this issue :P

It's the same for all servers I've tried, so I don't think it's something specific to P1999, I've asked in the EQemulator forums as well but no response yet.

Any resolution I pick in the options still results in the same sized windowed box on reaching the character select screen - and going to full-screen just stretches what is displayed there.

Usually I'm quite good at fixing these kinds of problems but this has really foxed me.

For the record I definitely haven't updated.

If you browse to your \Everquest directory, you will see eqclient.ini. I use WinEQ, so I might have some options that you don't. However, check for the following:

[Defaults]
...
WindowedModeXOffset=-4
WindowedModeYOffset=-8
WindowedMode=FALSE
...
[HitsMode]
...
[Options]
...
[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1440
WindowedHeight=900
Width=1440
Height=900
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1440
HeightWindowed=900
...
[News]
...
-What everquest client do you use? Titanium or SoF?
-Under defaults, try changing windowed mode to FALSE, if its TRUE
-Under video mode, try changing your windowed size to the native resolution of your monitor.

Ya, what he said!

There's the cure right there, adjusted the resolution to what my monitor is (1600x900) on top of the other values there and it's working fine!

$5 to Project99 thanks to nilbog, and thank you everyone who responded! :)
