Problem - Mouse pointer not in sync with its actual location (1 Viewer)

[tomahawkeer]

I'm having a strange issue in all of my boxes. After they have been running for a few hours, each instance of EQ will begin to have its pointer not be in sync with where it actually is within the game. If I click out of EQ anywhere else on my computer, its right. This will happen across all instances running. For instance, if I go to try to open a bit I have to move the cursor significantly below the bag, almost on the next slot below it, in order to open the bag. The only thing that makes it usable during these times, is color / shade changes for hovering. that lets me know where the pointer will function, vs where it appears to be on the screen. My video card drivers are up to date. Is this an existing issue with EQ, or am I the only person having similar issues to this?

Using ISBOXER?

No, only use VV and KA. It seems to take a couple of hours for it to start having the issue

In your EQ root folder, open eqclient.ini and add this under the [Defaults] section,
UseNewUIEngine=0

I can't do that right now but ill give it a go tonight and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the tip!

I had that happen and read here somewhere to switch to windowed mode and that fixed it.

You got a digital std bud… lol

I might lol, but the default section in my eqclient.ini file was non-existent. I went ahead and added the section and the above recommendation. So far, my guys have been running for about 4 hours, and i've not had any issues so this may have fixed it!

[Defaults] should be at the very top, odd if it's not there

That's what I thought too. No idea why it wasn't there, but it is now, and still no issues :-)

likely means they already had a macroquest.ini - which would mean the macroquest_default.ini wouldn't be copied over

This is what I did, and it worked for me.
