EQInterface Forums - View Single Post - 3D Target Ring

Hello,

Based on a post on EQLive tech support site, they seem to have a fix for ATI Radeon 9600Pro cards as well as probably others. If You havent tried this yet you may want to if you are having the previously mentioned problems.

Patch the Test Files by running TestEverQuest.exe - Allow it to download the file "eqgfx_dx8.dll" then you can cancel the patcher if you want.

Browse to your Everquest folder, usually C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest, find the file named "eqgfx_dx8.dll" and Right click and choose Copy. Paste that file somewhere you can find it easily, because atm the Live patcher overwrites it with a older non-functioning for ATI Radeon cards version. Keep both Folder windows open for the next step.

Run your Live everquest and allow the patcher to run. When It completes copy the eqgfx_dx8.dll that you saved in the past step BACK into the C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest folder and choose to Overwrite the existing folder.

Now choose Play and go check out that Targetting Window.

Just some information - I am running a 2.0ghz AMD XP+, 1gb PC3500 Ram, and ATI Radeon 9600Pro in 8X Agp, DirectX 9.0B, and one version Previous for ATI drivers and the targetting ring works fine for me now.
