I really hope some of you play EQ so you understand what I mean. I have all of the fancy details and character models turned off so that my measly 256 ram / 1.8 Celeron can keep up. However when I am in-game I cannot see player titles, target rings, or the "find" paths anywhere. This is true at all times except when a wall or something is missing in the distance and all that shows is the grey background. Only then can I see titles and such. I JUST downloaded what I think are the newest drivers for my video card. Any suggestions?

tried patching the game? what graphics card you got exactly if its lower then the min specs that is needed its probably the graphics card, and it cant handle the graphics.

i feel like robbro, you need to do some patch hunting. If patches dont help then i would say that S3 isnt compatable with the game. Almost everything out there requires either ATI or nVidia chipsets to run.

Actually I picked up a Radeon 9250 from the new best buy in town. Just installed last night. It seems to have fixed all of my video issues as well as speeding things up a bit.
