EverQuest II Forum

This may sound strange but when I install EverQuest II using the Community Supported option, which installs it into a WinXP bottle (using the latest CrossOver - version 14, I think) and then log into one of my characters and enter a dungeon (e.g. Library of Erudin) I see essentially green "ghost" images of other objects (tables, etc.) around NPC's and my character. They become visible as I turn around. When I approach the two NPC's at the entrance to the Library of Erudin scaled dungeon, I see the "ghosts" around the two NPC's at the entrance. The "ghosts" appear as solid green silhouettes of tables (located in the room below) surrounding the NPC's. And no, I don't do drugs and don't drink ;)

I'm new to Macs so I don't know if the system uses both of the video cards listed or just the AMD (obviously I'm not a hardware expert either...I just know UNIX). The game works great otherwise. BTW, I don't see these ghost images when I use BootCamp with Windows 8.1 or with Parallels. I would love to get the CrossOver to work since it gives me the functionality I desire.

Thanks.

Ghost Busted! ... sort of.

I was able to get rid of my green ghosties by setting the following EQ2 Options (regardless of profile selection):

Display:
Performance:
Complex Shadow Distance -1
Shadows:
GPU Shadow Maps: Unchecked

This resulted in a rather dim dungeon but it did get rid of the ghosts.

These "ghosts" may be limited to just the Library of Erudin since I've only seen them there though I haven't tried many places yet. I'll will mention any other places I see them. If it's just LoE, it's not a big deal and I can live with it. Thanks and sorry for the bother.
