Problem - UI save issue (1 Viewer)

[BlueBug]

Hey folks. So, I’m sure all saw that I was gifted a Samsung G9 from the RedGuides crew (still in awe of it).

I‘m coming from an Alienware 3440x1400 to the absolutely ginormous 5,120 x 1,440.
But I have run into an issue ; my ui settings reset on all toons at every log in. None of my windows or hotkeys save location. They’re all over each time I log in.
My Google-Fu has turned up zippo results.
I‘ve done what I could find on Google- made sure the EQ folder properties are not Read Only, Reset Viewport, changed the resolution settings on the EQ graphics launcher, tried copying the original toon settings, and made sure the Reset UI box is unchecked on character selection screen.

I’m at a loss as to how to get it corrected.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks,

BB~

If you are using 1 EQ directory, I believe the last one that camps is the one it saves and it only does so on a normal camp, not a /q or /camp desktop. Did you try fixing the UI on your main toon and then doing /camp and log out the slow way, then log in to see if it saved?

Thanks for replying.

Yes, even when I just camp to character selection screen and log the same toon back in nothin of the UI saves.

Have you tried camping all the way out, not just to char select? Iirc, it does not save until you hit exit from char select and exit the game entirely, then reload.

EDIT - can also try this - UI Saver lua

I did. Slow log out, even complete log out.

I didn’t know about the saver Lua. When I get to the PC gonna try that.

Hopefully that Lua works for you as I know ui issues can be a real pain or maybe someone else will have an idea I didn't think of =)

Delete UI_character_server.ini file from the everquest directory while not running the game. Then run the game from scratch and log in to the affected character. Organize all windows just like you want it. Then /camp. Then log out from character select and then out from server select.

Thought for sure that this would work, sadly it didn't. Thank you for the input Doc.

Maybe try deleting that file, EQui.ini and also the specific UIclient file too.

Actually I just thought of something. I remembered having this same issue before. And this is what I did

Try doing the first thing I said, except when you first log in. Just log back out normally (/camp). All the way out. Then re-launch, and log back in. Make your changes and then camp out again. I know that doesn't make much sense, but maybe worth a shot?

Might be worth mentioning to check and make sure your video card drivers are up to date and support the resolution you are seeking. The video modes in EQ I believe are determined by your cards drivers.

I know it's not a fix, just a bandaid...

Utility - UI Saver

Saves / restores the EQ ingame windows. CAUTION: multiple chat container windows (and possibly other windows where multiple windows have the same name() are currently not supported. Will probably remain that way for a bit. Workaround: just...

Can run it every time you login via cfg (ingame.cfg)

I know this is a while after this post, but just wanted to confirm that this is the fix. Thanks!
