Yeah, my machine did about the same thing as your fiancee's at first, but I cancelled, rebooted, and restarted the patch. Then it indicated it would now be 20-some-odd hours to complete.
Shortly after that, though, it corrected itself to about an hour and 40 minutes. That's about how long I thi |

I am glad to know that I am not the only one with the problem of having black boxes around all of my text. I have installed DX8.1 and tried updating the drivers for my video card. I have a laptop and can't replace the video card....Ugh. I REALLY hope Sony and Verant figure out what the heck to do to |

Is there any way i can play just plain Eq with a voodoo 2? Do they make any drivers for a Voodoo 2 that can use DX 8.1 or is there some way i can get around it. |

These drop off Goranga's in The Maiden's Eye. They seem to be mostly in the low 50s. There were a few that were level 56 (Seers) and 1 that conned even to me at 58. However the 2 idols that we got dropped off of the lower level garonga's, unfortunetly I can't remember if they came from the gatherer' |

Well, I'm going to say this cause I don't think anybody else is going to. Until Verant does some heavy patching the only people who are going to play SOL smoothly are those with some serious hardware. I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this but I don't care. EQ says you can use this and be |

I've spent many hours trying to get EQ up with SoL. No luck yet, but I may have advice to those getting 'Unable to load ******.DDL file' errors. I uninstalled and re-installed SoL, but on the re-install, I checked the box that says 'Load DirectX8.1'. After that, I did the patch, got some new file |

this is probably a stupid suggestion, and if it's not, i'm sure someone else already posted it, but what the heck

alot of people had it set to max before, if they had a decent system, but with luclin, i think that the clipping plane can now go out alot farther, so |

It works with 128mb of RAM but is really laggy. As far as the character models go it recommends only displaying 2 models. |
