Hey all,
I'm new around here, and I hate to lead off with a technical question; but, I'm gonna. If I don't I'm not going to be able to play either way. I've asked in a few different places and I've been lead down some rabbit holes - so I'm trying here. It appears to me that there's still a good EQ community, here, and that's good enough for me to ask and maybe find an answer. Going to try to make this as straightforward as possible.
I have a desktop Mac that I've installed windows 10 on via bootcamp.
A few days ago, I downloaded steam, and subsequently downloaded the Everquest F2P files and patched them via Launchpad. After patching, I verified my account, and all my files, and pressed 'Play.' I immediately got a 'dx9<etc>.dll' not present error. No matter; I tried to find those files and got them DLed/Installed. After this, that particular message didn't pop up. What DID start happening was that I would click 'play' in the launcher and the game window would launch and then immediately close. This is where I'm stuck.
I have tried running launchpad as administrator. I also understand there could be some editing to the .ini file that I could do, but when I examine the file I'm not specifically sure what to change (I do know there's not a windowed mode true/false flag to change - that was suggested). One resource I DO have at my disposal is a 5-iso set of EQ Titanium discs. I have not tried installing that way.
Has anyone had/corrected this issue? I'm on my last legs with hope...
Much obliged.
M
