Windows 10 and EQ

[Nadir]

Bump.

Just bought a new laptop. HP intel i7 8gb ram, nvidia gtx 930m 2gb graphics card, 2in1 1980x1020p touch screen.

Problem I am having is despite updating the eqclient.ini file, full screen mode will not work. I ran it in compatibility mode win xp and got full screen to work except that after exiting the game, my viewable desktop is shrunk to 800x600 and I have to restart my pc.

Any thoughts?

Why fullscreen, don't you alt tab out often and check forums/wiki like me? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Screen dragging on red sucks.

[Beinen]

get the appropriate resolution? I can look up what mine are and the screen fits perfect if you want

Runs like a champ and Windows 10 is a very fine OS, IMO.

Make sure EQ is using the nvidia card. It may be defaulting to the integrated i7 gpu if it has one.

Wow. Just ran options editor and sure enough it is defaulting to the on board gpu. Unfortunately, the options editor is not listing the nvidia card as an option. Any idea how that can be fixed?

Update: everquest is not listed as a supported game for the 930m nvidia card...

It should work. Don't use the EQ options editor. Use NVIDIA Control panel to set eqgame.exe to use the nvidia card through custom profiles. I've never had this setup but I'm pretty sure that's how you do it.

Maybe someone with experience can chime in!
