It sounds like the client just isn't handling the device reset properly. There's nothing that can be done about that.

Yeah, same prob, though maybe worse. Last year I was on grand creation, when I bought a new card and monitor. I switched from ATI to Geforce and eq didn’t like it at all. Running xp with Geforce 8400 at 1280x720. First, whenever I start eq, it always washes the screen out, like higher contrast but poor color (to desktop). Second, the pointer was moving too fast horizontally while vertical was too slow. I just reinstalled and that seems to have been corrected with the pointer. But still the washout and when I try to switch to full screen it gives the Fail error as you mentioned.
It’s not 10yr old, but from 2005, as it’s the Titanium box. So updated to then, but not current enough now I guess. Since the /mouse/pointer works, plan to keep it installed, but the washout is the nasty part as I need to reboot/hibernate to reset the color. I might try the unsupported client-update-expansion version some time, maybe that will resolve it. I'm using my old Titanium box. I mean if the update works... don't know it's problems here at this point, if it's worth it compared to this existing problem. | ||

BTW, anyone know off hand the config file name for full screen settings? It would contain something like Fullscreen = 1 or true. | |||

Reason I mention using WinEQ2 is that the Titanium client in windowed mode, overall, is about as stable as a house of cards in a windstorm. I couldn't even log into eqemu on my home rig till I got it. My laptop does ok without however.
WinEQ2 Comes with EQPlayNice built in, still. EQPlayNice is what kept EQ from being a monstrous resource hog and tying up a lot of DLL's and processor power/ram back in the day. While EQ was optimized, and it was optimized before Titanium, EQPlayNice worked (and still does work) better than what Sony's modifications did.

Ok so I installed, configured and ran wineq2. It resolved the problem with washing out my desktop requiring a reboot to fix. To stop the washout in the client, I used lock gamma which resolved that problem. w/o gamma lock set it'll still washout.
As for the fail error, I don't get that any longer but it does not go to full screen mode, stays in window mode even though the client settings say it's in fullscreen. Not a big deal though, I usually run in window, but was trying to fullscreen mainly to resolve the washout. On my old ATI car, I'd get that problem sometimes with gamma washout when switching to window with EQ for years. The geforce took it a step further [You must be logged in to view images.

Well i just woke up and cant play, as soon as i start the client the screen goes black and i get this error. i don't even get to the SOE Logo screen. i have allready tried changing the refresh rate, resolution, compatability options and downloaded and used EQPlayNice. no luck, i'm on windows 7. Any more ideas?[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'll have to try this fix, that's why I'm here right now - crashed due to alt-tab.

this shit happened to me with D3, only game ever. Turns out it was their insanely high FPS default setting and something with the game caused my card to over heat.. something about no real options to turn the graphics "down".
anyway good luck its not cause its an old game | ||
