I download allll the new EQ patches.
I have all expansions except lucilen
I have WinXP pro
I have a voodoo 5
the only thing I can see when I use EQ, is text
now mind you, I don't see -anything- in the login screen, except the small bar at the bottom that says loading chars, armor, eq, making sure gnomes are still short, etc. etc. (this by the way, is one of the texts that I can see)
I then, by sheer gamer intuition, manage to log my char using a mix of memory of buttons, and the force, and get in, I can't see -anything-, cept the text box, and names of mobs and players, thats it, just text.
What in the unholy fark is causing this and how do I kill it quickly then defile its grave?!
Get rid of that piece of crap and then instal a more useful Windows operating system.

Can't argue with that LOL...
I have to think that it is the Video Card.

I'm preparing to try a percussion readjustment soon.

Houston, we have a problem.
so aside from updating drivers (which didn't work), or buying a new video card (which will take too long) what am I gonna do?

I would normally agree, except that in win 98, with the same card, everquest ran fiiiiiine
Microsoft doesn't like updating functionality for dead companies.

I use a Voodoo 5 5500 in WindowsME and it works just peachy.
*Answers both complaints, woohoo!*
I just thought of something else are you sure you're using DirectX 8.1?
And um...let me think, oh I know *try* setting everything to 16bit colors. In the eqclient.ini and for your display settings. Sounds stupid I know but um, yeah just give it a try.

WinME isn't WinXP
And, CBTao, if i remember correctly, Microsoft doesn't support 3DFX anymore (because they're dead), except in all pre-XP (when 3DFX was alive) OSes. [ 12-13-2001: Message edited by: Kolak ]

They support 3dfx in the same sense that they support DOS, which is to say they do but not very well.
