Hey folks. Just got the game installed and logged in only to discover that my windowed mode will not let me maximize to full screen. I am not sure what the issue is. So I am stuck running around with this little 8x7 screen in the center of my monitor lol. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

if max. windowmode isnt possible play in normal window-mode.

you can change the "eqclient.ini" so the gamewindow is set some pixels higher than normal.
so you dont see the whole window bar on top.

on 1920x1080 i use this :
-----------------------------
WindowedModeXOffset=-3
WindowedModeYOffset=-16
WindowedMode=TRUE

on 1366x768 this:
---------------------
WindowedModeXOffset=-3
WindowedModeYOffset=-21
WindowedMode=TRUE


this works here very well but perhaps you must try yourself a little to get the best offset.

ah , and if you are changing the ini you can also do this ....

MultiPassLighting=FALSE
ShowDynamicLights=FALSE

this fixes the freeze-screen bug .... for me ... and others .. perhaps not for you but try...


donīt have 60 FPS and a Nvidia-GFX card ?
------------------------------------------------
open the nvida-systemcontrol in windows and select "eqgame.exe" .... change this parameter :

Mode for low latency = ULTRA



Start the "eqgame.exe" in compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3
start as Admin.



.ps. and try out the vieport-command in game for better classic-feeling:

1366x768 with a 4:3 viewport :

/viewport 171 0 1024 768

1920x1080 with a 16:9 viewport :

/viewport 240 0 1440 1080
