What DID work for me was to copy the 2 TargetIndicator files to my UI and change 2 values in the EQclient.ini. USETNL=TRUE and at the VERY bottom of the file (add if needed): Show3dTargetIndicator=1 This works now. If ANYONE has gotten a Kyro 4500 to work, please holler

My 2nd computer with an onboard SiS video chip hasn't displayed the halo yet... or so I thought.

Today in Time I saw the same weird ring floating around on the walls as Jentraal posted above though on that computer. His images are exactly what I saw. It moves around a lot when you move, I suspect I just was in a right position to see it behind the world.

And I got a screenshot of it today. The character usually has to be behind me for me to see it ahead of me.

My shrunken horse and I are pushing up against a wall to see beyond and into the sky, that's where the targeting halo appears. That computer is running at 800x600, so yes it's small

... but it changes color with the target, it's definitely the targeting ring out in space.

When the player behind me was walking closer to me, the target halo moved SW on my screen until it fell off altogether when he was close.

Other settings: Force SW TnL setting checked (3DA prog) Application executable - eqgame.exe Application pre-start - EverQuest.exe Once you get it working you can save the 3DA settings as a batch file to run in the future. Targeting ring is now working and it was worth the hassle.

This was on an isolated system with no direct connection to the internet that's used exclusively for EQ. In the short time I tinkered around with it before all the aditional crap became apparent I didn't get it to work, although I didn't get chance to try everything mentioned here. 2 weeks later it's about time we had a fix or update from SOE. What are you doing to fix this?

Still using Radeon 9600 pro. /sigh __________________ Annaberry Direkiss "Never explain. Your friends don't need it and your enemies won't believe you anyway."

Rykahna A Snow Cougar Join Date: Sep 2003 Server: Tribunal Posts: 45	Confused as to what I should do... I have an ATI Radeon 7500. It is NOT a Mobility card. I play on a desktop. I can see the 3D target ring...sorta. I see part of it, the inner part, the outer half of the ring is sliced off. Has there been any progress toward fixing this particular problem? Because I am not seeing anything here that seems to address this card and/or problem.

Jentraal A Shissar Disciple Join Date: Aug 2002 Server: Luclin Posts: 115	I'm very confused. Why would it work for one person and not another if they're using the same video card? I have a GeForce 5200 FX card as well, and am not able to see the ring. I am running under Windows XP and it has 1.5 gigs of RAM. (1.21 Ghz AMD Athlon processor) ... any help on this? __________________ Jentraal Squishypants - 70 ROG - 598 AA Last edited by Jentraal : 12-03-2003 at 09:13 PM.

Annaberry A Gray Wolf Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 6	I finally broke down and tried 3D Analyzer with the Radeon 9600. It works great! I'm using a custom ring and everything...works wonders. Thanks for the info on that. I'm still wanting a regular fix for this tho. I don't like running EQ on a crutch for it to work right. There's this feeling I can't shake that the "fix" is going to be moving the cards that don't show the ring to the non-supported list. /shrug

Every time i see a patch change something, I copy the 2 files in the default UI to my current UI folder. I have just tried using default only. I have tried changing it in the various .ini files to load default on startup. I have also removed my UI_character_server.ini file completely. NOTHING has helped. I even posted a few pictures of what I see when the zone geometry isn't in the way and I can see the ring outside the world... Many people are experiencing this. I even went out and got a new video card and RAM to see if that would help. It didn't. Sony is really pissing me off on this one. They shouldn't have made this go live if it was so riddled with bugs!
