dual screen issues
 

Sometimes when I start the game running with my 2 monitors (like i always do) i get the everquest click icon and only blackness until i unplug my second screen. Other times it works perfectly, it seems to be random, has anyone experienced this issue and can help me with a fix?

I always have to play in Windowed mode with dual monitors.

bump. anyone ever experience this bizarre bug? happens sometimes and not others?

Someone is going to tell you to try using Wineq2. Its a program that for some lets EQ run better in windowed mode.

Confirmed boxers above.

No its called playing EQ on 1 screen while surfing net, watching movies, watching porn on the other without having to tab out :D

I have this same issue - the solution is to hit alt+enter when you encounter this black screen on startup. For some reason it appears with two monitors (at least in my situation) I cannot see the first screen when in full screen mode and only encounter the black screen you describe. Alt+enter switches between full screen mode and windowed mode. For me the reason it only happens sometimes like you described is because I sometimes log out in either mode. I have found no other solution but it is a simple fix, I hope this is a solution for you too. Happy hunting.

i always used brick break to deal with my dual screen issues
