EverQuest Forum

Running Jaunty x64
Nvidia FX8800 w/ the 180 drivers
COG 8.0.0

Can not get any of the the player or NPC models to show up. Other than that the game works fine. Any help would be great.

Thnx

Have you tried my "Tip and Trick" about graphic anomolies in Linux? Give that a try.

Actual I did.

dll is in place.

Already running in windowed mode... wouldn't hurt to have a working client.ini though.

Can't change the core the way you have listed but I am using the taskset -c 1 method.

Thanks,
Aaron

hrmm... in my experience i've tried virtually everything in these forums. over time i've found a fairly stable combination ( note i'm running on an iMac ) i think in the end the one thing that made the greatest impact, after simply getting Everquest to run, was changing my settings in the Options/Display/Advanced section. i turned my "Memory Mode" to "Lease memory usage". i've also reduced a few other setting but i'm not certain how much of an impact they have had. since then, been over a month now, i've only crashed once during zoning and i suspect that time was more because of a network issue we had with our ISP.

as for the missing models. i get that and other odd things too, but i've seen that on my old PC as well so i simply opt to quit EQ and load it back up. this often does the trick. this might happen to me one in ten times that i log in. in my books, because of what i've seen on my PC, i simply look at it as a Microsoft anomaly and try again.

oh, i managed to turn my dual core on and off. think it did make a difference but not as much as the Memory thing i mentioned above.

hope that adds a little value 😉

p.s. i'm now able to run with Advanced Lighting. i've never had that before, not even on my PC.

Well I did check, but the models are not loading on the char selection. I don't know what it could be but still would like to look at a working client.ini file.

sorry its crazy long. That is a default eqclient.ini with windowed mode turned on, and a resolution of 800x600, all luclin models off.

The good folks over at winehq.org seem to have identified the problem here as being in the d3dx9_30.dll file itself. If you go through the bug report, you will find the problem and a hex edit hack for the file to fix it. Worked for me. I used the hack as noted in comment #32 in the bug tracker. Now all models load with or without the new models being turned on.
