Have you tried deleting the UI files from your Everquest directory? will be named

UI_Character_Server.ini

there is also a file called

UIerrors.txt

check that, see if your getting an error at login or something. then when you log out, make sure you CAMP. if you /quit /exit or LD, the .ini will not be saved correctly

Check the files Krugerr mentioned about UI.

As far as the filters, if you are using MQ2FilterSet, it would do that. After you set the filters the way you like them, type: /fisave default

You likely have the other defaults saved for raid & group also, so you might as well do:
/fisave group
/fisave raid

I should also mention, that /fiload & /fisave are for the updated MQ2FilterSet (under updates in the compile thread first post). If you are still using the older one, it is /fload and /fsave. I changed them in the updated one, to not interfere with the built in /fs for fellowship chat.

Can't understand why it would do that, unless the files are read-only (or access permissions prevent writing by you), or you are crashing when leaving game, so it never gets written.

is this Vista?

 

[Rasmussenn]

If you're using Vista make sure you're running EQ as Admin or you won't be able to write to any of the INIs

 

[Krugerr]

I couldnt even get EQ to run unless it was run as admin.

Good shout though, im totally lost otherwise as to why .ini's arnt updating

it was best buys screw up! took it in yelled a little and explained what it was doin and a guy familiar with eq stepped up and said "sir we screwed up" was like well yea, fix it?

what they did when they did the system restore on and saved my eqfiles onto a disk so they could reload them per my request (redoing hot keys for 4 toons and uis sucks) well when they put them on a disk i guess it right protected them whatever that is...and when they put the files back onto my laptop they forgot to unright protect them

so now they have it fixing it and ill prolly not see it for another 2 weeks x.x

 

[hawthorne]

That's a 1 day fix. At most. Probably more like 6 hours if it's the whole hard disk, an hour if it's just EQ folder.

 

[doa]

tel them that hawthorn rofl

took em 5 days to fix it

 

[imgregrice]

It probably sat for 4 days before they started
