If you have an ATI video card and have installed DX8.1 and upgraded your vid card drivers but are getting the No 3d device found you may need to drop back to a earlier driver. There was a link on eq page about ATI cards. I had a Rage Pro and was using driver ver 4.12 and the video as all screwed u |

After all is said and done, I would like to see how many of the 300K-400K people become non-customers because of the DX8.1 requirement. How many folks with plain old Pentuims running Win95 are just going to say "screw it" and just cancel rather than buy hardware and upgrade? Or how many |

If you are still having problems after installing the game try these options.

There seems to be an issue with the enable and disable button for 3d acceleration. Disregard whether the button says disable or enable. Even though it says disable click it and mostly likely you'll see a message saying you have enabled 3d acceleration. I had to do this several time last night. |

The unfortunate part is that no matter how well anyone plans and pretests a patch of this magnitude there will always be problems and over/undersights.

You were told ahead of time what was needed to run the game. Most of these post are from people that just have not followed the instructions that were set forth.

I'm disappointed so far with what I've seen. I don't know if the improved graphics are worth all the anguish we all are feeling, though I remain hopefull that everything will turn out OK in the end.
Only one thing can ruin my reluctantly optimistic view, and that wi |

I find it quite interesting that as much as they anticipated how big this release was going to be that they weren't more prepared for massive amounts of people trying to patch at once. I just tried connecting to the patch and it wouldn't even connect, although i got in this morning. I wanted to se |

So typical for Verant. Remember they are making money no matter if you play or not. This just proves there stupidity in programming. NEVER change a lot. It is better to release small controled amounts instead of what they did, opening up the flood gates!! Maybe next week we can play again. |

This lastest patch has seemed to cause EQ to ignore certain brands of 3D devices; had to change to newer device from ATI and scrap my old ATI Radeon, greatly irritating my wife in the process, hehehe.

Most people don't know how to upgrade their computer, they should not have to do a major over all to play a game they pay for. It is the responsibility or the supplier, not the consumer. If this company want to stay in business they will not, if all that is left are people like you. |
