The launcher and the game are two different beasts in itself.

Reading thru the second attempt your being capped at 720.

Set your native resolution to 720
Next search for all eqclient.ini and delete them all
Next in your EQ folder there is a EQutility file that can adjust settings. IF you can't find that then you can go thru options in the launcher.

Make sure that all the settings are correct reso wise.

Next when you get to the server select screen alt ent and turn it into Windows mode.

Exit completely out and restart the machine.

Repeat the steps and see if everything stuck. The launcher should load in Windows mode from the start. If this doesn't happen then you need to adjust compatibility settings for the game file and the launcher.bat then need to make sure your eqclient.ini isn't set to read only. This will not allow any saving and could be what has been getting you from the start ( theory)

Once you hit server select and the game forces you back to Windows mode it should be set to 720. The idea is to have everything preset so the game doesn't force Windows to change resolution EQ doesn't like this and will give you errors.

Upon this you should get the classic loading screen. Wait for character select and then you can drop down to window mode again. If your screen stays black for more than 1 min try to alt enter.
(As a side note certain websites will halt/freeze the game. Idk if it has something to do with flash or ads or pop up blocker but I have a specific website that I know will stop EQ after browsing and you have to alt ent to un freeze it.) Make sure browser is closed and any other programs

Select your toon and once more you might get reso change from window to full screen but once you are in game you can start adjusting things from ALT O tab 2
