The game client will only connect to the EQEmu server list if it has the "patchme" parameter passed to it at runtime, which can only be configured through a shortcut or a batch file - eqgame.exe is the client executable itself, which is why it lets you configure compatibility settings and such, while Launch Titanium is a batch file that runs eqgame.exe with the "patchme" parameter.
Right-click eqgame.exe to create a new shortcut and call it whatever you want, and then configure it as such: [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Also, make sure you do not have EQ installed in Program Files. | ||

I added the patchme and now this button launches the game. Now if you can help me figure out which of these other boxes under compatibility I need to have checked so that I can uncheck the 640x480? that is so damn annoying to have my screen blow up like it does during launch. Your help is most appreciated. | |||

Ok, so:
a) If your EverQuest folder is outside of Program Files then you shouldn't need to run anything as an administrator. So first of all go ahead and uncheck "Run this program as an administrator" on anything that has it checked. b) You don't want to check anything except "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" in your shortcut's Compatibility tab. Uncheck everything else. Make sure any other options are unchecked on the actual .exe file as well. c) You shouldn't need any other shortcuts placed anywhere. All you need is one shortcut, and you can put it wherever you want. Put it on your desktop, pin it to your taskbar or start menu, etc. Any extra shortcuts or use of the Launch Titanium batch file are completely optional, and the actual Launch Titanium.bat needs to stay in your EverQuest directory to work properly, but you can create a shortcut for this if you want to. Since you're using a legit version of EQ, you might actually have a Launch Titanium.exe or something - just leave it in your EQ directory and create a shortcut for it if you need to. If you use this to launch EQ, make sure you have the Compatibility settings configured as explained in step b). d) Now that you've successfully launched EverQuest, the client has automatically generated your eqclient.ini file, so go into your EverQuest folder and open it using Notepad. Once opened, press Control + F and search for WindowedWidth. If you're playing in windowed mode, then the first two settings are the only ones that matter: WindowedWidth and WindowedHeight. Change your eqclient.ini [VideoMode] settings so that they look like this, and then save the file: Code:
[VideoMode] WindowedWidth=1280 WindowedHeight=960 Width=640 Height=480 FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32 FullscreenRefreshRate=0 WidthWindowed=640 HeightWindowed=480 | ||

As for the .ini I have already changed that to 1920x1080 which is my res on desktop to all of those selections as I play in fullscreen mode. I'll now try the suggestion of unchecking administration and any othr selections aside from run in compatibility mode. I use windows 7 so I think I have all options available to you as well. I'll keep you updated as to how it goes. Thanks again. | |||

It's reducing your screen resolution to 640x480 because you have that option still checked somewhere then, but you don't need it checked now that you have an eqclient.ini. Should be good to go once you've unchecked that on eqgame.exe and its shortcut.
