Full Screen CTD & Other Render Issue Assistance

[PaganFish]

Hey P99!

So it's possible that this issue was shared and archived in the past but I couldn't find my issue in the forums.

So! I've followed all of the steps correctly and to the T in the setup guide for running P99. I, in fact, have the game up and running just fine for the most part and can successfully log into my character on any of the Red, Blue, and Green servers. My issue is in trying to get the game to run in fullscreen. Currently, the game runs windowed and as a result, the bottom of the screen gets cut off by the Windows taskbar. Resolution doesn't seem to matter too much as just simply hitting Alt+O and switching to fullscreen automatically CTDs the game. Although, I can switch the resolution to 1080p in game with no issues.

Here's what I've tried so far:

- Put the .exe in (and out) of compatibility mode
- Edited the eq.ini with Fullscreen=True
- Ran WinEQ
- Other stuff I can't remember but will if it's suggested

Any help would be appreciated as I've been really interested in getting into classic EQ.


Cheers!

I had a similar issue on a laptop. To resolve it, in windowed mode I had to match the EQ resolution to the resolution of the desktop, and then switch to fullscreen.

Hope that helps!
