MQ w/ WinEQ2

[xx_Massochist_xx]

Hey Guys and Gals,

Unsure if anyone else is having this issue, however I have just started using WinEQ2 again, and it isn't letting me use MQ w/ it?? on any of the 3 toons I box ... it kinda sucks cos WinEQ2 drops my CPU usage by over 50% and ram usage by 40% ... and I was also lookin at getting a premium sub to Lavishsoft for Innerspace also ... but would prefer MQ over WinEQ anyday.

I use wineq all the time with mq. Main thing is make sure you start mq before you start wineq. I mean initial startup of the programs MQ has to be started up then wineq and it should work as I use it daily.

I use wineq2 Everyday with mq2 and have never had any issue. Doesn't matter how I start it even though I usually start mq2 first.

1. If you are on Vista/Win 7 make sure all your exe files are set to run as administrator and Windows xp sp2 compatibility.
2. You should be running all your accounts out of just 1 EQ directory/folder
3. Run your eq launcher and click on Game Options. Click Next until you get Engine Settings.

Turn off Dynamic lighting and Mip Mapping.
Turn on Texture Caching and Texture Compression.
Set Texture Quality to Low.​

4. Inside EQ turn down/off as many graphic features as you can under Graphics.

Alt O (options) > Display Tab

Load Screen =None
Sky Type =Simple
Far clip Plane =80​

Advanced stetting

Turn everything off below Allow 1.4 Pixel Shaders
Terrain Texture Quality=minimum
Sky Reflection =Once per minute
Memory Mode=Minimum or original​

5. Make sure you have MQ2Fps loaded and EQ Play Nice in WinEQ2 off

Hope that helps

Definitely sounds like a permissions problem. Run WinEQ2 as admin as Maskoi said and you should be fine.

w00t w00t ... thanx beastdaddy ... it was simply a permissions problem on Win7 ... Got that all fixed up and working now =D

nother question that isn't so important ... anyone know how to make the resolution of WinEQ windows slightly smaller than that of the full resolution of the screen (or the windows resizeable by dragging them around)

That sadly is a premium feature . My sub went out last month and went to adjust my screen size and it wouldn't letme stretch it anymore.

OK, seems im going to have to go a premium sub for that next month ... =D ... they should just give us a feature of modding a ini file to make a resolution we want =P.
