When you run WINEQ2, what happens? I get a small multi colored box that pops up near the clock next to the volume/USB unmount area in the task bar.

I right click on that and it gives you multiple game options like EQ, EQ2, DAoC. Each one has multiple "profiles" available when you put the mouse over the game title. FOr running p99 I click on the profile that I modified with those settings I mentioned before. When I modified the settings I made sure to rename the profile to something more unique than Everquest Profile 1.


My processor is a FX-8350, 16GB DDR3 Ram, Radeon 7870 and EQ/WINEQ2 are both installed onto a SSD. So we have very similar systems from what I can tell. I didn't have to make any changes to bios or anything else like that. But without WinEQ2 the game will NOT run on my system. And unless I run it exactly like I laid out here, It will not work.

If my instructions suck let me know and Ill make some screenshots of my process. I don't even remember how I figured this out. lol
I didn't rename the profile at all but I uses the WinEQ 2.0 Default Profile.

That profile reads as:

Name = WinEQ 2.0 Default Profile

Window Title = WinEQ {VERSION} {PLUGIN} - EverQuest (Hotkey: {HOTKEY})

EQPath = D:\Everquest

EQClient.ini = .\eqclient.ini

Sound = ON

Test/Beta Server = Normal

Global activation Hotkey = AUTO

Locale = us (US English)

EQPlayNice settings are as:
General
Auto Expland - Off
FPS Indicator - Off
FPS Indicator X and Y = 5/25

Forground:
CPU/FPS Limiter Mode - FPS Limiter
CPU/FPS Limit = 40
Rendering Limiter Mode = 1 out of x frames
Rendering Limit = 1

Background:
CPU/FPS Limiter Mode - CPU Limiter
CPU/FPS Limit = 30
Rendering Limiter Mode = 1 out of x frames
Rendering Limit = 30

I have an Nvidia 660GTX. I get that multi-colored box as well. Right click that and do preferences or run EQ profile which starts the game.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
