What else can i do? It just won't work :'(
Hey guys, i have tried to get this game working but i don't know what is happening! I got the copied titanium version on the harddrive, which worked fine on my friends computer once she had reformatted, but i have tried for a few days now on and off and still can't get it to work! I followed the instructions with patchme etcetc, I have played with the resolutions, i have formatted my computer, running in compat mode and administrator and all the other troubleshooting options.
I can open everquest, it'll go to the server select which is fine, then the screen goes black and the music comes on with the loading bar, but without the everquest logo. It then gets to character select (you can see the 'create a character' bar but not the graphics, then it says 'everquest has detected that you client has crashed'. Graphics drivers are apparently up to date... Im running- Windows vista home premium 32bit Dell Inspiron 1545 Intel Core2 Duo @2.00ghz Memory 3gb ram Mobile intel 4 series express chipset family (graphics) Im a bit of a n00b when it comes to this kinda stuff so im not sure what else to write there! If anyone has any ideas it'd be much appreciated as i can't wait to start playing again!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

It sounds like you are most likely having the same video issue as a person in another thread, so I'll paste what I told him here and hope it works for you.

For example, when I was playing on my Mac, the video section of my client.ini looked something like this: Code:
[VideoMode] Width=1280 Height=800 WidthWindowed=800 HeightWindowed=600 WindowedWidth=1024 WindowedHeight=768 FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32 FullscreenRefreshRate=60 Code:
[VideoMode] Width=1024 Height=768 WidthWindowed=800 HeightWindowed=600 WindowedWidth=1024 WindowedHeight=768 FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32 FullscreenRefreshRate=60 | |||

Aww, got so excited then, it appeared to be the right size after changing the windowed height/playing with that, but then once i got to the loading 'everquest' screen it just went black again... then crashed on the character creation page...
I'm really not sure what else it could be? My computer's primary resolution is 1366 x 768 (it's a widescreen laptop), could this be a problem? The maximum height in the eq client is now also 768 | ||

on the login page click the options button
it should come up with the graphics adaptor click next remove all models and click next change resolution to your monitors native resolution if it's listed, or else try 1024x768 click finish close eq and try again failing that, try installing WinEQ2 it's free, and it also sorts out some issues with dual or quad core processors | ||

thanks but unfortunately that didn't work either, I have just tried the same thing on my old computer only to have the exact same result, so I am starting to think that maybe something is wrong with my titanium edition (copied from a friend). I am going to re-download using bit torrent and try again.

Do you have the latest possible drivers for that Intel graphics chipset? Also download/install/update the latest DirectX9 Redistributable from Microsoft and see if that helps.

Download and use WinEQ2. Google it. Should fix it.
