Game Mechanics: Black screen and game frozen

Quest815 · #1 10-05-2021, 01:50 PM

Sometiems it happens when my EQ client turns black (but i can still hear sound) and am unable to play. Am forced to exit the game completely which can be a bugger at times especially when coming back in and dead or got a character logged in already message.

I have found luck with pressing Alt + Enter. This changes the games resolution back to a native resolution for the game. When that happens, the game usually runs like normal again. I would press Alt + Enter directly after to go back to the selected resolution.

I hope this helps!

Ok, would just like to say i tried the alt + enter and the screen just got smaller and the game stayed frozen / black.

I also got a Windows memory read error.

Its a good thing this doesnt happen often.
