It has to do with the zone chr files...I dunno if they will need to repatch the Eqame.exe...They changed the models in some zones and such...I was in PoJ and the rats are a new model..

Yeah that happens often with me in Velius, where all the giants and spiders are humans. Just have to delete your chr files and repatch.

It appears to be the options for AccurateLighting and HardwareTnL.

If you have AccurateLighting Set to False and youhave a card that doesn't support Indexed Blending ( most of the nvidia cards if not all) then this problem will likely occur.
Also, it's possible that having HardwareTnL=false along with this setting will cause it to happen as well on other cards card.

In any case you should not have either of these lines in your INI file unless you have an issue and one of these lines resolves it.

So remove them!

flurry and rampage are swapped on mobs now.

if you're fighting a mob with either/or, the ramp tank will get hit when it flurries, the MT gets hit during ramps.

Oh that must mean that Mith Marr is actually displaying the right ones now?
Since his was swapped from the beginning.

Yesterday there was also a system wide message telling to NOT GATE WHILE ON A HORSE OR DROG! This will cause a severe fall.
Couldn't resist to try it

Just downloaded an updated EQGraphicsDX9.dll which may be the fix for the above problems, they may not have to patch eqgame.exe again.

No downtime needed. It's happened before in the past. just needed to redownload the lavastorm_chr file, which did go back through the patcher later last night. If not, just delete your old one, and it will redownload it.
