If you don't install into the c:\Program Files folder then you wouldn't have to worry about UAC. Reinstall in something like c:\games or something instead.

I am running Windows 8, I dont know if this information is helpful. Other than that I dont know what a debugger is. I tried deleting and reinstalling wineq2 but had no luck.

I didn't say I had WinEQ or Project1999 installed in the ProgramFiles directory, which I do not.

If I am running the native Project 1999 everquest client and ANY UAC prompt occurs, I get stuck with a black screen in the native Project 1999 client, which forces me to camp out and log back in. If I am running WinEQ and ANY UAC prompt occurs, the game recovers and I don't have to camp out.

I don't have my installation in C:\program files or any other "default" windows directory and still have this problem. I'm not sure how accurate this quote is, or maybe I'm just a one off case.

As for this part, not a solution but a work around, if you choose not to turn off UAC (like myself) you can usually recover from the black screen by pressing Alt + Enter three times on a Windows box. This takes me to full screen (black screen still) then back to windowed and I'm no longer dealing with a black screen.

"You can not attach a debugger while playing Project 1999."

I can verify this as well, something is causing Red99 to crash saying that debugger message. Hope this gets fixed from either side of the coin, dunno who's patch broke it.

Looks like Lax reverted all of his changes and we are back to the wineq2 we had before. Works for me now. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
