    Plugin - MQ2AutoLogin

    One more positive. I love that there is now an option to customize delay between character loading. Was hoping for this a long time ago. My potato boxes thank you! It looks like the new architecture for MQ2AutoLogin allows much quicker addition of new features as well.

    Plugin - MQ2AutoLogin

    The new version is looking much better than previous post patch one. Nicely done! The power on buttons are a nice touch. Still would love to see an option to check/uncheck characters without going to config screen.

    Plugin - MQ2AutoLogin

    How does one LoadAll checked characters from some profile in the new UI? EDIT2: SOLVED Figured LoadAll is left click on the whole profile. Guess that is not so bad. :) I believe it was right click in the old UI. Still unsolved, how does one toggle a check mark for character in the new UI? Left...

    Problem - ExpressVPN prevents commands

    If you are using VPN you are out of your local network meaning you get some nonlocal IP addresss and dannet (AFIK) is local network only. EQBC should work across multiple networks assuming you know the IP addresses of your machines. You might be able to set up some sort of virtual local...

    Bug - Mercenary.State incorrectly showing ACTIVE as UNKNOWN post 1/17/24

    Post patch seems like something changed in Mercenary.State /echo ${Mercenary.State} shows UNKNOWN even though merc should be ACTIVE (it is also in balanced stance) Tried zoning, no improvement. This is across multiple chars and multiple computers. SUSPENDED correctly shows SUSPENDED

    Question - Increased Ram Usage?

    Another issue is that memory leaks on EQ are still around. If you zone a lot, you will see increased memory usage over time. Conversely sometimes just being in a single zone for a long time increases RAM. I've had characters with 12GB memory usage when rest are at 1-2GB.

    Discussion - Anyone build simple guild websites?

    Please, do not use GoDaddy for anything. Ideally you should buy domain from one place - like namecheap, and hosting from another place (even wordpress directly would be ok for wordpress). Then you keep complete control. GoDaddy have a horrible history and are not so hot presently. TLDR; they...

    Patch - October 2023 Patch (oct 10 test, oct 18 live)

    I am happy that they delayed the DirectX 11 API port. It is going to cause nothing but issues/breakage on older computers/GPUs/iGPUs. From the reports on Test, even when there are no glitches, there is a performance hit. I have some GPUs that technically support DirectX 11 but only 11_0 not...

    Discussion - September 2023 Patch (EQ Direct X 11 port on test Sep 12) - Live patch Sep 20 (no dx11)

    Those should be fine since those are based on Haswell and later Broadwell. Those support Feature Level 11_1 The key issue is Feature Level 11_1. I am typing from 3720QM based laptop (DELL Latitude E6530) that also has mobile NVIDIA NVS 5200M. Sadly both only support DirectX Feature Levels...

    Discussion - September 2023 Patch (EQ Direct X 11 port on test Sep 12) - Live patch Sep 20 (no dx11)

    This sucks if you are running some 3770s with integrated graphics. Looks like you need at least Haswell for DirectX 11_1 support https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005524/graphics.html Time to hit eBay for some ancient low profile GPUs to support those ancient CPUs...

    Question - Default UI showing bags behind Inventory window - how to revert to see bags on top?

    A small EQ annoyance I've noticed lately - or maybe it has always been this way? When I have a inventory window open and I manually right click on a bag, the bag windows default to be BEHIND inventory window. This is extremely annoying across multiple characters on a small screen - I end up...

    Question - EQ how to see actual damage in Combat chat window

    I have two tabs Main and Combat, but neither is showing any actual damage numbers. For giggles and kicks I just made a new chat window. Selected Filter ALL for Melee and Spells. I am seeing when I begin cast, when mob is slain. However, the only damage number is when I see RAMPAGE on me. I...

    Question - EQ how to see actual damage in Combat chat window

    How could I see actual melee and spell damage from me and my group in Combat chat window? This is a basic EQ setting that I've forgotten. :) I am leveling a level 85 Heroic with Vanilla EQ UI (Main Chat and Combat) and also Vanilla MQ. I am only seeing spell being cast and the hit message and...

    New Laptop suggestions?

    I am extremely happy with my Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16incher I got last year. 12700h with 3060 for video. I upgraded RAM to 64GB DDR5. I use it extensively for programming/data analysis work even though it is considered a gaming laptop. It has plenty of ports, good upgradability, great 2560x1600...

    Discussion - Your First Piece Of Nice Gear

    SMR and GEBS looked good in the OG world, however the practical improvement was not that great. Then I got the first Head of Tormax on Xegony -> turned into White Dragonscale Boots, getting FT2 when even FT1 was hard to come by felt amazing. Shortly ever after that I got...
