Insstallation Problems

If you are experiencing problems installing the EverQuest software see the Tech Support: Installation Problems page.

Login and Character Select Screen Problems

Problem: Project 1999 Servers Missing From the Server Select Screen

First check Project 1999's front page. On the right-hand side you should see a server status box. If it says that the Project 1999 servers are down then most likely some soft of update or fix is being applied, and you simply need to wait.

If the status shows that the servers are up, the EverQuest software is probably mistaken (this can happen occasionally). Quitting the program and restarting it should fix the problem. If it does not please ask in the Technical Discussion Forum

Problem: Error on login: "The instruction at 0x029110ce referenced memory at 0xfffffffc. The memory could not be read"

Go to your EQ folder. Open the file eqclient.ini. Find (CTRL + f) "windowedwidth". You should see something like this:

WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=768
Width=1280
Height=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1280
HeightWindowed=768

change it to this:

WindowedWidth=800
WindowedHeight=600
Width=800
Height=600
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=800
HeightWindowed=600

This example uses 800 x 600 resolution, but if 800 x 600 isn't working, try using your monitors native resolution, or another resolution, instead. Eventually you will get a combination that works, just keep trying.

Problem: Can't Login to a Specific Character

Things to try:

• In the "log" folder (in your EverQuest folder) delete or move the log file associated with the character.

• In the "userdata" folder (in your EverQuest delete or move any configuration settings files for the character.

• Delete or move the charactername_project1999.ini and UI_charactername_project1999.ini files for the character

If You Can Login to the Game

Frame Rate, Movement and other Visual Problems

Please refer to the Tech Support: Graphics Problems page.

Gameplay Problems

Problem: Being Stuck

If you're stuck somewhere try ducking and jumping, and if that doesn't help try the /rewind command. Keep in mind that the rewind command can sometime take several minutes to work, but if you're still stuck after awhile you can always "/petition Please help I'm stuck" to ask a GM for help.
