Borderless Gaming & P99 EQ

[VexNemox]

Can anyone confirm or deny this windows app works with this Titanium version of EQ?

Works for me. Had to play around with it, but it works.

Works with no problems here, so nice to play borderless windowed p99.

1. Also, if you using Windows 10:
2. set your "eqgame" to run in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 3.
3. make a shortcut of the "launch titanium" and use this to launch p99.
4. once logged into a character, ALT + O and set your native monitor resolution and make sure it is set to windowed mode.
5. then run Borderless Gaming and you are set.
6. make sure nothing is set to "run as administrator" as I have found this causes the game to not launch on multiple friends' installs as well as my own.

So happy to eliminate having to use WINEQ2 and zero crashes.

Thanks guys - the instructions above seem to be giving me the behavior I want.

Questions:

1. I've followed the instructions above. Do I need to have "Borderless Gaming" running each time I launch EQ now? I have added eqgame to my "Favorites" in BG.

2. The native resolution of my monitor is 3840x2160 (4K) and when this resolution is used, the EQ in-game UI is very tiny and I am not sitting close enough to read it. Can I force a "UI scale" to make the in-game UI larger while keeping the native 4K resolution?

Thanks so much in advance!

I am still trying to determine the order of operations and how to set Borderless Gaming.

Once EQ is launched, there are a couple of lines that end in "[eqgame]" even though I am running only one instance of EQ.

I want to run windowed with no title (hence, "borderless"). I got it working once, but now when I try to get a full screen window of EQ it just shuffles me back to desktop when I hit the Windows key - which was not the original behavior.

[Loftus]

I think I have figured it out.

1. Launch EQ
2. Launch BG (having already added eqgame to "Automatic")
3. Profit

run BG as admin

I am not doing this currently and it appears to be working as expected. What does running BG as admin change?

sometimes not running it as admin messed with the priority of the program

not sure, I just had an issue early on and doing that fixed it
