How to make P99 full screen and change hot keys?
 
I played on P99 blue a couple years back, came back for the release of green.

However, I can't figure out how to make my screen fullscreen - it is windowed and some of my UI is cut off.

I can't figure out how to reset my hotkeys, the default is all kinds of wacky for me, like WASD isn't even movement.

I used to be able to do change the resolution and screen windowing and hotkeys through the settings in the EQ button in game. The chat says there is an EQ button when I load into the game but I can not see it on my UI anywhere and I can't figure out the hotkey for it.

I just set up Project 1999 for the same reason and I'm having the exact same issue.

Alt-O for options set keys should be easy to find. Same alt-o in the graphic options should be self explainatory from there to set resolution and fullscreen.

After all your options are set correctly use Alt-Enter to switch from windowed to fullscreen.

I personally use Borderless Gaming to fullscreen the windowed mode react better to alt-tab than true fullscreen.

Fullscreen causes many issues for a lot of people. Windowed mode with custom resolution works very well. Can search forums for how to do it, it's super common topic

I am switching windows mode with ALT-Enter to Fullscreen and reverse.

You have to change it in the eqclient.ini. It wont save it correctly in game from what I remember. Just change it to 1920 x 1080 under [VIDEO SETTINGS] or whatever in that file after you exit the game. Then get this program and use alt + enter until it works. https://sourceforge.net/projects/bor...gaming.mirror/ It will fullscreen and allow you to alt tab or move your mouse across to a double monitor without it minimizing. And yea alt + o to change hotkeys under the keys tab.

Right click eqgame.exe, click properties, click on capatability tab, choose windows xp sp2, click apply, click ok. now launch eq as usual. You should now be able to set your resolution.

Make sure your windowed size and fullscreen size match your display resolution in the INI file.

F11 usually works, but I think you already found the answer
