For me this never worked and I was following the instructions. I see a lot of advice being thrown around on various forums, including this one, telling people to modify their eqclient files. Went into game, changes resolution to native, 1920x1080, reloaded it. I cut my eqclient.ini file out of the directory so it was forced to create a new one. I am posting a log of my INI file.ĮnvironmentParticleNearClipPlane=8.000000 I can reinstall EQ, run the game once or twice. Sometimes it does work? I did not know about the multiple monitors thing I just unplugged it and it still does not work correctly.
I am editing the EQ ini file correctly, the same exact way every time. Next day it is back to not working again and I spend hours trying to fix it.
I have been having such a rough time with this error. I did not change the eqclient file to reflect this, so I hope there are no conflicts again later. I had changed my screen to 800圆00.Īfter the game was up and running (meaning, the screen wasn't black), I've gone into Alt+O Options/Display/Video Modes and changed my Video Mode back to 1280 x 720 like I prefer. It fixed my problem.Įrror was, in the game I had been messing around with the display settings in (Alt+O) Options/Display/Video Modes. To fix - I changed WindowedWith=800.WindowedHeight=600.Width=800.Height=600. For me it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest\ĭouble Left click eqclient file to open it in Notepad
DARWIN PROJECT BLACK SCREEN WINDOWS
use Windows Explorer to go to the location of EQ Emulator's eqclient file. **Your in-game Options/Display/Video Modes may be set to a different standard than the eqclient file in your C-drive (or wherever you have the game on your hard drive).įix: (Assuming you cannot adjust Options/Display/Video Mode in-game because the screen is black). Problem: EQ window is black, but still have mouse cursor, sound, and you're not link dead.
If you don't want to search forums for "black screen" here's how you adjust screen mode in "EQ ini" file.
DARWIN PROJECT BLACK SCREEN HOW TO
Sorry, but I managed to figure out how to adjust the screen size/mode ("A" in Hollywood's post below), from another post. (I have the game set to run as admin XP sp1 and all that stuff and as I said, game worked fine up until two weeks ago.) I don't know how to adjust the screen size/mode (especially if you're talking about adjusting it in game, since the screen is black). I don't know where the ini file is or how to search for it. I play with the EQ window smaller than my desk top, but I've always played like that with not problems. Ever since then, and half dozen loggins, the game will let me get to character loading sometimes, sometimes a few seconds into the game, but always goes to black screen. Sound is up, game is running, just black screen. I've been playing the game fine for a few months, then one day screen goes black while I'm running along. Hollywood, could you explain how to fix each of the possible issues above? But you could search on Windows XP/7 forums to see if anyone knows how to force the computer to not recognize a second monitor. So reason four isn't as common, but hopefully helps someone.Growlers for not that I know of. Most people set it to FALSE - otherwise when clicking near edge of the screen, it drops you back to windowed mode(thinks you're clicking on the Windows desktop)ĭ) And the reason I put, was because of multiple monitors - something people would probably over look. 2560x1600 30"ī) Another reason is that it defaults to windowed mode, and alt-enter does not work because of a graphics tool (like ATT) running in the background.Ĭ) Another reason is as Pringles mentioned, the Windowedmode setting in the EQ ini file. It's not a new problem, however there's multiple causes for the black screen.Ī) For some people it's because the default resolution in EQ ini file is too low or too out of whack with their monitor's native resolution.
