Question - Find and MQ

[Shalissara]

I am very new to boxing, and while I am LOVING the experience for the most part, I've been having problems using Find. I'm pretty new to Everquest in general, so I do tend to use Find a lot around PoK especially. However, when I try to do so after launching my party with MQ, the Find window will pop up, and while it will sometimes populate with various targets to guide me to, if I try to scroll down at all, then the Find window blanks out and the scroll bar pops back up to the top. Once in a while, it will populate with names again, but still, if I try to get to the target for which I'm looking, the Find window will quickly blank out and pop back up to the top. Other times, the Find window will just remain blank.

I'm really unsure what the problem might be, and would greatly appreciate any advice you might be able to offer! Also, I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong place. Thanks so much for your time.

Do you have a map open with labels turned on and a bunch of bag windows open?

This thread might have some info for you regarding blank find window

Problem - - Find Window Problems

I've been playing on the test server and I am having some problem with the find window. Currently if I bring up the find window in Plane of Knowledge many of the Zone Connections are missing from the list. If I attempt to /travelto any of the zones that are not listed in the find window I get an...

Simplification - too much EQ text causes this issue. Simplest way to fix it in zones like PoK is to close the map, or apply a height filter to limit the number of NPC's shown on the map. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be something that can be fixed.

This comes up a lot now in zones with lots of mobs, particularly if you have the map open.

I've not had literally anything open except the Find window itself. Even if I only have one character logged in on Everquest, I can't use the Find window unless I've closed MQ. I'm pretty sure I'll know my way around PoK eventually, but at the moment, I'm lost, and need to find my spells. :P

I guess the other obvious thing to try would be to make sure the eq new ui is disabled

 

[Shalissara]

I *am* currently using one of Drakah's UIs. Do I need to get rid of it to help with functionality?

Sorry for ambiguous information

I mean the eq new ui engine. It is something that needs to be disabled in the eq in game options

 

[Shalissara]

Okay, I'll look for that and make sure it's disabled. Thank you so much for the advice!

It also can be done via eq ini

UseNewUIEngine=0 in your eqclient.ini

 

[Shalissara]

Disabling the new UI engine did the trick. Again, thank you!
