Won't run full screen
 

Last night when I installed the game I had it running full screen nicely. Today it defaulted to windowed mode (no big deal) but when I try to make it full screen it crashes and even messes up the gamma on my system after its gone. I HATE playing games in windowed mode. Also I'm having the same problem as a few other people: when I click certain places on the screen sometimes it minimizes the game for me. Thoughts?

Thanks!

As far as crashing when you go full screen, the only thing I can think of is to check your eqclient.ini (Should be in the root directory of your EverQuest folder, C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest or something similar) and make sure the lines for width/height do not exceed your current resolution on your computer.

For example, when I was playing on my Mac, the video section of my client.ini looked something like this:
That exceeded the resolution on my gfs computer so when I tried playing on her computer using my eqclient.ini it kept crashing until I went in and manually changed the lines to this:
Hope that helps.

Yeah and make sure your game resolution is lower than your display resolution.

So the resolution in game has to be lower than my regular display resolution? That's the first time I've ever heard it. I both use 1920 x 1080 on my desktop as well as in every single game I play and this is the only time I've ever had a problem. I shall try both of these things, thanks!

i having the click true problem as wel. Seems to be Windows 7 related. The Aero desktop giving me issues. If i press near any off the sides it pop to Windows and EQ gets send to task bar.

So atm iam running in Windows mode.

This shouldn't be true. Your resolution probably shouldn't be higher than your desktop resolution (mine always match), although if it were it would still probably work just as long as you were not trying to run the game at a resolution that is higher than your graphics card can handle.

Google WinEQ2. Download it. Use it. Problem solved.

Bumping this thread to link a fix which does not require WinEQ2:

Same Issue - eqconfig.ini file nowhere to be found
 

I'm having this same issue, however I have searched throughout my EQ files and I cannot seem to find the eqconfig.ini file that you are all referencing. Any thoughts on where this might be, or other fixes for the windowed issue?

The files go from EQDOD_man_v5.pdf to eqfeart.pak while sorted by name.

I'm able to go full screen just fine. You want your full screen AND windowed resolution to be your monitor resolution.

You can set your windowed resolution in game but I think you have to edit the ini to make sure your fullscreen is correct. It took me a lot of trial and error. very annoying.
eqclient.ini (I have never had a eqconfig.ini)

If you don't set your windowed resolution the same as your fullscreen resolution... full screen will minimize back into windowed mode as resolved in this thread: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=215014

Here is my videomode section from my eqclient.ini ( I set the window resolution in game, (I normally play in windowed mode))
FullscreenRefreshRate=0 (I have No clue why this is 0, but I set my refresh rate in game also(I would recommend setting this to 60 or what ever your monitor refresh rate is (hz))))

WidthWindowed=1152 (idk what this is)
HeightWindowed=864 (idk what this is)
