Problem - Issue with Disappearing Text (EQ Drawing Limitation) (1 Viewer)

[sendaid]

Hi Guys and Gals,
I have an issue with my text disappearing from a lot of my windows when running MQ2. It is not on all 6 of my toons but effects 3 or 4 on almost every session. What happens is the find window text will disappear, Vendor item list will disappear, main chat window text will disappear. Things like the name and price of item you have selected to buy from a vendor will display. So if you click through the invisible list it will tell you "that will be 25 plat for the spiderling eye". I do use a player window UI but I have tried every combination of using default and restarting. The only thing that fixes it, is to close MQ2, which is pure torture...lol. I am hoping someone has had this issue and can offer a solution. My PhD. in Google has failed me on this one.

i was playing early this morning and i updated the redguides launcher.
loaded up eq and went to get a path for a zone i havent been too.
The Zone Guide for Maps Isnt working
the zones dont show up
cannot enter text for search
nothing is appearing in the pop up Text wise

i believe this is a error due to the latest update,

Did you try closing your map? Knid sounds like the bug where EQ can only display a certain amount of text on your screen.

You can turn off labels in the maps as well. There is a draw limit.

I am new to EQ and real new to MQ. I have noticed that sometimes I can't read my chat text or my aa skills.
When I go to loot things, I don't see the toon names to give to.
Sometimes after I alt tab again it fixes it or I have to relog.
Anyone know a fix for this?? Thanks! USing mqbard mqeskay and mqshaman plugins

are you using a regular eq advloot window ? are you using some sort of loot sorter Lua like lootly or lootlier etc?

and why are you alt tabbing? can you just click on the running instance you need on the toolbar? if your playing fullscreen id highly suggest going windowed for this.

sometimes I cant even type in the chat box, When I click on it, it goes blank and I cant read or type in general chat

I am in windowed mode. The only plugins I am using are the class specific ones. no avd loot that I am aware of

EQ has a max draw limit. once you pass thst, text starts randomly blanking out. Go mq button, plugins, mq2map, and turn off some of the lables.

I can go to plugin manager and click mq2maps checked or unchecked. Do you mean uncheck it?

Durango is saying go to the plugin page for mq2map:

Utility - MQ2Map

This plugin provides additional functionality to the in game map. /mapfilter help|option [show|hide] [color R# G# B#] /mapfilter help - will show all current settings. /Mapfilter show or /mapfilter hide Set map to defaults: /mac map Pro-tip...

www.redguides.com

there are instructions and a helpful video there to turn off (filter off) some things showing on the map, as currently you have too much stuff showing, and EQ has a limit of text, you likely are in a zone like Level 110 Overthere, where there is normally SOOOOO much mobs and things listed it starts not showing other text areas on your screen. Filter off some, or simply minimize your map and only open it when needed.
