Question - Graphics Glitch (1 Viewer)

[mq2rulze]

Along with the frequent re-appearance of the infamous "west bug", I must load MQ2 at the character select screen.

If I load MQ2 while already in game, the screen goes completely black and I can't recover from it.

Anyone have west bug fixes or a fix for this minor irritation?

There is a west bug fix to check in the eqini, i would suggest trying that first.

and i never load mq2 while ingame seems more stable to preload it.

I have not seen anything about the west bug in over 3 years. There is nothing currently on the EQ forums. I would check to make sure you have the latest graphic drivers for your video card.

I'm having similar issues, but my issue is every other time I zoned to the palatial guild hall I crash, doesn't matter what toon I'm on either. Seems highly unstable, I also have problems in zones like the buried sea, City of bronze, temple and a couple other zones. I have a crashing issue in those zones plus CoB and TBS I get blacked out chat windows, blank spell drop downs, etc. seems like every type of "Menu" or chat is blacked out and I can't read it or mem spells etc. Even things like the alt Q window are blacked out.. Anyone know what this could be? I've already deleted most of the EQ folder and did a full "Check Files / Reinstall" I was told there may be an issue with the mp3's which I've not deleted/replaced in a long time but why would that make graphic bugs and CTD's happen. I don't know if this is just EQ or MQ and EQ but it sucks sometimes. I can't even use the in game default audio triggers, with sound enabled too. I'm pretty much at the point of not really knowing what to do anymore since me and about 10 other people in my guild tend to crash on certain raid events/zones still. I couldn't even xp in zones like Pillars and CoB when VOA first came out, I was having that black/blankout issue in all the t4 zones. I guess I should just keep deleting and re-installing till I Find the cause. This time I'll save my Toon_server UI_Toon ini's and just wipe EQ out and do a really good clean install. I still get pissed off every time a map bugs out too, why is it this stuff gets so F'd up constantly.

How hefty is your computer and how many accounts are you running on it? Sounds like you are running out of resources almost.

Do you have the latest graphic and sound card drivers for your machine?

I disabled the default sound board on my machine. It just uses windows audio now. I think that's the reason why my audio triggers don't work in game but I just use gamtexttriggers for alerts on raids anyway. I deleted all the mp3 music/sound files in the EQ folder and patched. So far so good but will need to test further. I also noticed that in a zone where my chat windows and spell drop down menu's etc. all blank out, that it's my UI somehow. I loaded default and the blacking out and missing text on menus was all fixed. Probably due to me not updating some UI pieces that have been changed by sony recently but they still work. Unfortunately this bug is what is caused from that particular UI piece not being updated. Now will come the task of singling out what piece it is, or if it's a few pieces. I'm betting it's the UI that's causing the crashes on raids/while zoning etc. too. I'll update here when I figure it out, or if I do.
