Heh, if there is, you get in line behind me =)
The problem is that even without SoL, there have been some upgrades to the system. You can try a couple of things. The first is to sit tight and hope that Verant places a fix into the system for players who did not upgrade. Additionally, 300,000 peop |

When you install direct x, always reinstall the latest drivers for your card, as directx overwrites card specific fiels and can cause problems. Also if your card is too old dx 8.1 might not work with it. Another thing, if you ahve an Nvidia based card you should use the reference drivers(newest re |

Went through something similar earlier with the previous patch. Took reinstalling EQ and all expansions to fix it, and then dropping my backed-up characters' and personal account files back into the EQ folder.

It seems as though the beggars of The Nameless are getting a bit more cheeky these days.

Again, the main "No 3D device found" issue is DX. You HAVE to install DX8.1. This solved the same problem for me. There are messages about some people that still get the message though. |

I agree 100%. Unfortunately, I had to troubleshoot this for several hours myself before I thought to myself "Maybe I should update the driver". I went to the Nvidia web site, and low and behold, the ref drivers were right there. By the way, the error I was getting was a pop up window af |

Agreed, Leriane.
Not only are the "integrated graphics" usually low-end, but when your graphics subsystem is ON the motherboard, it's gonna steal system RAM and CPU cycles.
