Video Problem Solved
 

Hi all, I had a problem recently where my game kept freezing right after log in. Not only that but I noticed many graphic glitches in game.

I found out that the solution is to go into your eqclient.ini and change some parameters. From there you can set your windowed mode size and your default video size. What I did was set it to 1024 by 720, the screen size I usually play on, but lo and behold I still froze when I got onto my character in game.

Then I found this website:

http://www.onlinegamecommands.com/ev...kseqclient.htm

and it shows that there is a VideoMode=[0-4] command which is set to 0 at default. You need to change this to your preferred setting.

0 = 640/480

1 = 800/600

2 = 1024/768

3 = 1280/1024

4 = 1600/1200

It also says that players need the Velious expansion to use video modes 3 and 4!

So there are only really 3 acceptable video modes. What I did is change the parameters in the .ini file to match 1024/768, then changed the value at VideoMode=[0-4] from 0 to 2 and viola...no more freezing, no more glitches.

This had me stuck all day today. It may be noob info to most, but I had no clue about this. Hopefully this may help someone else with video problems.

Good luck all :)
