Default Two Issues

I started up on the Green server last night and everything is great except for two things:

1) I cannot play in full screen mode - it goes full screen and then reverts back to windowed.
  • Running a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
  • Reso set at 1920 x1080

2) Anytime I zone, any macros or skill hotkeys made disappear.

Any insight or information on how to address this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

the hot keys/macros disappearing is a known issue atm

it will likely be fixed next patch

for the full screen part, I'm not too sure on that but could try to run on compatibility mode

Maybe you can try this:

Check that the EQ folder is not in the Program files folder and that it has: "read only" UNCHECKED, also try to set for permissions and security enabled for all set to everyone.

Try copying everything in the EverQuest folder to a new folder created under C:\ , like C:\EQP99

Then apply these permissions to that folder.

1. "read only" UNCHECKED and apply

2. set security permissions for "everyone" to full control, and apply

Ok. Will try that and post results.
I assume just moving the EverQuest folder to a new folder will not break the game?

I moved the EverQuest folder to C:\ then renamed it to EQP99
Set the permissions as you suggested.
Still same results. When I change to full screen mode and try something it switched back to window mode.
And I lost all my in game chat windows and key bindings. uggg

Honestly, in 2021 there's no reason to play in full-screen mode, given all the drama it creates.

Instead, I recommend "full screen windowed mode": make your EQ client fill the screen, but still be in a window so you can switch to other applications. You get the best of both worlds that way.
