Can't seem to get this client to play in full screen mode. It crashes if I hit Alt Enter or try to turn the option on in game. Any idea's?
Honestly, I have not played EQ in anything but maximized window since at least 2002, so I never tested stability for it at all.
However, that said... I did just log into an account on my main PC and click the toggle for full screen in-game. It switched over with no issue at all. I am not in a position to test on multiple PCs, as many are working on tasks tonight that cannot be interrupted (apologies), so I cannot say anything about specific graphic card/drivers at this moment.
I will test on some single core machines with Nvidia cards tomorrow if possible, but I can say for certain that my primary machine does not suffer from this problem.
Specifications for the machine in question:
AMD Phenom II x4 3.70GHz
16 GB of ram
2x ATI Radeon HD 5770 2gig video cards (Crossfire linked)
Drivers checked for updates every Tuesday morning at 3am.
If you have an ATI/AMD card I would check your drivers. I promise to test on one of my single core machines with Nvidia graphics in the next day or two.
*EDIT*I had a couple machines finish tasks and was still awake, so I checked in what I could.
On an old P4 3.0 GHz single core machine with 2 Gig of ram and a Radeon 5450 512 meg video card, no issue swapping between windowed and full screen.
On an almost identical P4 3.0GHz single core with 2 Gig of ram and an Nvidia GT430 1 Gig video card, no issue swapping between windowed and full screen.
*added* Checked on an Intel i3 Dual Core (3.1 GHz) with 8 gig of ram and an older Nvidia 8400 GS 1 Gig video card. Still no crash on swap between windowed and full screen.
Also tested on an older Dell laptop with Intel Integrated video. Choppy graphics, not really playable, but was able to swap between full screen and windowed with no issues.
Huge apologies. I have tried everything I can think of, but I cannot reproduce your crash, and so I cannot try to determine the problem.
What video card and system specs are you running, exactly? If I can put one together similar to yours I will be happy to give it another go.
