Any one still playing this. Kinda burned out on turtle wow and underwhelmed by the official TLPs looking sad this coming year so I started up a ranger on project Quarm.
I am casually playing it as a 54 shaman and 28SK. Shaman soloed all the way so I have Decent gear between the two with a fungi and some haste items and gear. Sadly I have like 50pp right now though since I can only get plat from farming on the shaman.

I do on my Necro / SK / Monk.
Like everyone on the server, playing an alt and/or finishing Pre VP key requirement (shard), while waiting for Luclin raids to drop.

ok i'm too retarded to get TAKP client to work I guess?

I created my forum and login account.
I downloaded the 2.2 client from Getting Started on Windows - The Al`Kabor Project Wiki
I downloaded the quarm patcher from the discord and ran the patcher
when I run eqgame.exe i load into the game at 640x400 or whatever tiny box. i have made a character and log in to the game fine.

Any time i attempt to change the resolution the client just closes. when I log back in it tells me i still have an active character on the server and have to wait 1 minute before it boots me

how do I change the resolution from the default tiny square?

edit: after much trouble shooting I figured it out, i can't do 1900 x 1200 so had to drop to 1600 x 900 in the ini file for it to display

I vaguely recall for some reason you need to manually change the settings in some .ini file and it will work, it's probably been 5-7 years since I had to do it

I find that I need to change the res in the eqclient.ini first then change it to the same thing in game.

Ok scrolling through this thread trying to figure out how to get mouse scroll wheel to work for 2rd person? I see videos of it working but can't find the setting to make that work

I had your issues and I just loaded Zeal and all the problems went away. It was pretty easy

yeah it absolutely did not do that at all, it just borked the entire install when I downloaded Zeal.

I wish someone would just post a fucking step by step guide to this shit instead of it being all piecemeal. I thought this guide was correct:
but its in multiple parts and not clear.

First part says to download then copy over a new EQW.dll file, but eqgame.exe is not needed for quarm. ok I tried with seperate eqw.dll file and it doesn't work at all, so I went back to the default eqw.dll file in the 2.2 client and i can load fine, just can't get out of shitty windowed mode where i can't move the mouse to the exterior of the window so I have like a bar of useless screen inside the game window cus I can't put any in game boxes there cus the mouse will not move to the edge.

Zeal just breaks the game entirely it won't load at all and when its trying to load the login screen it makes the mouse invisible so i have to guess where the fuck it is then the game crashes.

without zeal when I am in game every time i zone it tells me i'm running an outdated client and to patch, but there is nothing on the quarm patcher. This is just frustratingly stupid.

edit: I got it working somewhat finally, and mouse scroll zoom out works with zeal, but i can't open any window (like options) or the game crashes.
the Release v1.3.4 · CoastalRedwood/Zeal states to unzip into the root directory, which doesn't work. What it means is unzip into a random spot on your desktop and manually move files into random folders until you figure out what the fuck they actually meant.

zeal.asi zeal.pdb and zeal_readme go into the root directory. All the EQUI html docs go into uifiles/zeal despite the instruction specifically saying not to do this (the game will crash and will not load without this) and all the other random sub folders i'm still moving one by one until I can get the game to work and let me open goddamn windows in game without crashing. it's just random testing and blind luck at this point
