Trouble logging in on surface

[Myst Wraith]

I double checked both that it is not set to Read only as well as being on the administration profile and running as admin. Yes it is installed from an ISO.

I'll do the fresh install tonight when I get off work!

it being a ISO .. sometimes file just fuck up and end up corrupt and most of the time Its the file that is used to boot up EQ.

Hey thank you all for the replies, so far nothing has worked. From using the compatability tool to changing the install location to " C:\Everquest" any attempts to place it without a folder resulted in an error. I used the installerconfig application to try and install it that way but still no use.

Still no ini file in the folder nor is there one in the appdata folder under my user file in the C drive.

Losing hope but still looking and poking around for anything i may have missed!

So I am not using a surface, but something very similar (Asus Transformer) and I am having the same issues that you are. Well, the exact same error right after selecting the server.

I just found the .ini file by just searching for it within the file. I was having a hard time finding it as well until I just straight up searched ".ini".

Going to play around with the resolutions and I'll letcha know if this worked.

forgot to ask... do you use win eq?

I fixed it, OP!

Well, Reddit helped me fix it. There was actually a thread on here from a Linux user who had to change the .ini file to windowed mode. Here is the link to the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/project1999..._on_asus_t100/

However, I will just show you the settings I changed to get it to work.


VertexShaders=FALSE
VideoMode=4 and
WindowedModeXOffset=0
WindowedModeYOffset=0
WindowedMode=TRUE

I kept the original resolution settings and then rolled with the above and, viola, I am now back in Norrath during work hours. $$

Had the same issue, and this worked like a charm!
Thanks!

You shouldn't need to run as admin unless you install to some weird directory with bad permissions.

Simple google search came up with... https://www.reddit.com/r/project1999..._on_asus_t100/ (look at top comment regarding windowed mode)

Sorry to Necro this, but I had to add my resolutions as I just sifted through them to get this working again after wiping my hard-drive on my Transformer.

Resolution:
1680 x 1050
