Trouble Getting On
 

Good evening. I am trying to return to p99, and I'm having some trouble. I started with a fresh install of titanium, and I followed the directions from http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2651

After using the eqEmulauncher to update as prompted and selecting p99 server, I get this error

Any advice on what I am doing wrong, or what I might need to do to fix this? Thanks in advance!!

Cancel this. I was able to get in. Sorry to jump the gun, I was too excited! :)

-This usually happens when you alt-tab frequently, run another 3d program simultaneously, drag EverQuest window to a separate monitor, etc..

-It can also happen if you do not have a working version of DirectX installed (or something has been corrupted).

=A bad memory module could potentially (though unlikely) be the cause.

-Net Framework 1.1 and 2 installed?

-If you're using Windows Vista or 7, change compatibility mode to Windows XP.

-Might be resolution related issue. Easiest method here is to run the OptionsEditor.exe and select a low resolution say 800X600 that you know your monitor supports.
Try a few just to be sure. If you can get into the game, load up a character then immediately bring up the options window and adjust your display both fullscreen and windowed 'video modes' to something that your monitor can support and is best for you. That should save it from there on.

-And as a generic consideration, try running it as administrator.

If this is solved, what was it for you?
