Default The entire zone is invisible.

Well, I'm back after a 10-year absence. I downloaded and installed EQ and p99 with Duxa's UI and logged back into blue after 9 years and 10 months of doing other things. I arrived at the character select screen and suddenly remembered I had logged out on the 2nd floor of Unrest when I was soloing in there. So I came back into the game after 10 years and was immediately under attack... Dammit, I still love Unrest. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
My plan had been to immediately run down the stairs and train to the zone line if the zone was relatively unpopulated, because I assumed I would have a half dozen mobs on me when I logged in. Instead, I had one mob, and I could see that several other groups were in the zone exp'ing (this was about 10 PM EST).
I could see that several other groups were in the zone because THERE WERE ALMOST NO TEXTURES VISIBLE. The only thing I could see were monsters, other players, and one tree. So I couldn't see any of the house, and therefore I couldn't see where to run to. I killed my one skelly and sat my butt back down and logged out, not daring to move and not knowing what else to do.
Has anyone had this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Do I need to update video drivers? I'm on a 6 year old Dell laptop.

Sound like when you patched, you did a replace. So the only thing in the folders are the patch files and everything else got removed. Some operating systems treat folders as files and just change them out. You may have to patch each folder individually if theres not a way to merge/overwrite existing files in folders

You can check if this is the case. In the RenderEffects folder, the MPL folder should have around 50 files and SPL 79 files. The patch only contains 3-4 files per folder so if thats all you have, that is what happened

Thank you, Kavious! I'll fix that tonight. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
