OK as most posts are basically just people complaining, I thought I might do the opposite and try to be a little helpful, by explaining my problems and how I fixed them.
First of all, like pretty much everyone, I found it impossible to dl the patch. Upon waiting till morning, it was fine - downlo |

Not to disagree with you, but generally laptops cannot get upgraded video cards. There are exceptions to every rule of course, but most laptops have integrated video cards which means swapping the motherboard with a newer one. Usually the company releases a new line of computers instead.

When I get into EQ there are weird black boxes around all text, when I go into F10 mode the screen is black. I can't even see my spells in my spellbook. Anyone know how to stop this? I sent mail to Eqtech but they are useless. |

in about four seconds sooo many people are going to flame you but nm
it means you havent got DX8.1 installed (or so I assume). Simply go to the EQlive site, and follow the instructions for getting it, or take a look at the post above I made to see if that helps. If ye have 8.1 then my next guess |

Same thing happened to me. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download DirectX 8.1 That should take care of it. =) |

hmm I seemed to remember reading something about problems with the F10 views, on Verant somewhere I think, possibly on the patcher. I think they said theyre trying to fix it. Sorry I can't be of more help ( |

I have a pentium 3 with no graphics card and lots of RAM and have those stinking black boxes too.
At least we are able to play, but it is UGLY and a real drop in fun! Hurry up Verant and clean this mess up. |

The black boxes version of EQ is playable if you move from standard to fullscreen with the F10 command. Some stuff is covered but you can cast and attack as well as most of the other features. Still a pain though. |

I'll bet that if you check your video card its an Intel810 chip series. Many, many people having this problem. Check the EQ technical help forum and look for posts on black boxes and Intel Vid problems. The bad news, there doesn't seem to be any fix yet. |

Ok, I will admit my ignorance. When I press play at the patch screen, an error message saying "Failed to load EQGfx_Dx8.dll" comes up. Is this a video problem, direct x problem, or something else completely.
Please help me, I am going through withdrawls! |
