I'm missing *.dll file
Please read the stickies, for now.
Patcher
I can't run the patcher?!
If you can't run the patcher, make sure you have .net installed. Get it from Windows Update.
My patcher keeps getting stuck when downloading file X or populating hash table.
If your patcher gets stuck, delete the file named "files.txt", and repatch all.
Try following the stops for getting stuck at "Getting Files List" (by Hasrett)
My patcher is stuck at "Getting Files List"
Disable your firewall(s)/antivirus/anti-spyware/P2P/P2P-privacy programs. This goes double for Windows Firewall
Ports
What ports do Shards of Dalaya use?
Account issues
How do I change my password?
Please use our password changing service.
I keep getting wrong username/password, even though I'm sure I'm typing in the right one.
First of all, make sure your eqhost.txt (found in your the Game folder) looks like:
If it doesn't, make sure the file isn't read only, and repatch using the SoD Patcher.
If the above doesn't work, the issue is most likely a firewall/router. The ports used are above.
Misc
I can't Alt Tab out of my window when using EQW.
Install ACT (Application Compatibility Toolkit) from either the Windows XP CD, located in the Support\Tools Directory, or it can be downloaded here:
Install it, then run Compatibility Administration Tool.
Look for Ever+Quest. (Plus in the middle to avoid filter)
Right click on eqgame.exe, and select Disable Entry. (credit EQWindows.com and Elysium)
Everything is super speed, and I'm using Multiple Processors and/or multiple cores
You need to set Game to only use one processor, or it will be funky. When the patcher is loaded, set affinity to sodbin.exe.
Read the threads on Multiple Processors and http://forum.shardsofdalaya.com/showthread.php?t=15436
**NOTE** Make sure you try to only use Processors 1 or 2 for your gaming experince. Slowness issues have been found using any processor above #3.
I can't get past the EULA/Seizure Warning screen!
a. Open up the patcher, select advanced -> Repatch all. You have to do this every single time you patch to live.
b. Try with both EQW enabled and disabled.
c. Try clicking the mouse randomly, and it might fix itself /shrug
d. Repatch all from the SoDPatcher.
I'm experiencing model wierdness, such as miscoloured armor, backwards faces, etc
Your cached textures are corrupt. You can either simply turn of texture caching in your options (before logging on), or if you're a more advanced user you could delete your texture cached files
I can't choose more than 2 high model characters, even though my computer is big enough
Use your enter key after selecting the models instead of clicking next with your mouse
I can't sound to work in my the Game folder
Go to your the Game-folder and open "eqclient.ini" file. In the fourth line ("sound") the value will be "0"/"FALSE", change the zero to the word "TRUE". (by Artara)
Missing String X
Your eqstr_en.txt is corrupt, and you need to repatch it (i.e. do a repatch all in sodpatcher, or alternatively, download the patch files from site/Xardon's post
I can't make the game run full screen
If you want to enjoy the game in full screen mode, make sure you don't run it through EQW (you can change this in the SoD Patcher
How do I play here?
Read the Starting Guide
We do not provide downloads of EQ, nor information on where to get it.. Don't even bother asking.
I need to recover old account info
Posting a thread like this without reading policy plaza will get you yelled at. You wonder why forum mods are such assholes? It's because your question has likely been answered a thousand times, and you could find the answer yourself if you simply looked for it.
If there are any other issues please reply and I'll add them.
