Window Mode

[Bravo228]

I am having problems keeping the game in full screen mode. When I click, it returns back to window mode. I cannot find the "eqclient.ini" file in my EQ folder. What else can I do to fix this?

You'll have to find your eqclient.ini for starters - I'm pretty sure you just have to change some resolution settings in that to match your desktop resolution. Your eqclient.ini file is generated automatically when EQ is launched, so it's definitely in there somewhere.

Easy way to find it:

Open command prompt -> type cd\ and press enter -> type dir /s eqclient.ini and press enter.

It will search your entire hard drive for eqclient.ini and display its path once found. If you have EQ installed on a different drive, type that drive name in command prompt, eg. "D:" "E:" F:", press enter, and then try doing dir /s eqclient.ini on that drive.

The settings in eqclient.ini that you need to set to your desktop resolution are as follows:

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1680
WindowedHeight=1050
Width=1680
Height=1050
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1680
HeightWindowed=1050

If you're referring to hitting ALT+Enter to go to Full Screen mode, I sometimes hit this on accident when rotating my camera view and I get an error and crash, and can't relaunch.

It keeps relaunching in full screen and giving some error that the file couldn't be found or error processing file or what not. I went into my eqclient.ini file and manually changed WindowMode = FALSE to WindowMode = TRUE and that fixed it for me.

I am not using WinEQ, I believe the devs said this can help alleviate some windowed mode problems, but for whatever reason I can't get that program to run for me.

Move your Eq folder out of program files folder.

Oh no worries there, been in the C: directory since install. Just one of those things
