No G15 display

[nastymatt]

I have the update and the eq2ui_mainhud_g15.xm is in the ui/default dir, G15 support is enabled in options but I have nothing on the LCD monitor. Any hints?

Try loading eq2, then checking the LCD application monitor and see if it shows up there. Also saw it mentioned in the other forum that you might have to turn something on in the Options for the client

Currently updating EQ2 as I post, i'll test this out and get back to you guys.

I now have the pages but no information is being sent to the keyboard.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Times New Roman;">All i have is max hitpoints ect  no accurate data being reported.</span></p>

<p>Alright, it worked easily for me. I'm using Vista 32-bit if that makes any difference. It showed a main page on the g15 screen that I could scroll through and view network stats and group info along with mana/hp stats.</p><hr /><p>EDIT: These are my steps I used to get it to work the first time.</p><ol><li>Downloaded the newest Logitech G15 software from the official site</li><li>Patched EQ2</li><li>Opened up the Keyboard Profiler and scanned for new games. Selected EQ2 and pressed OK.</li><li>Ran EQ2 and made sure the Logitech G15 support option was checked (it was by default).</li><li>Exited EQ2 and relaunched it.</li></ol><p>From there, I saw a main "EverQuest II - Sony Online Entertainment" screen on the G15 monitor that I could navigate around. </p>

Mine took a little more wrangling to get it working.If you can't get it working:  make sure you get the latest G15 software update from Logitech!  They've got a Dec 2007 update if memory serves.Where once it wasn't working, now mine is...From the Logitech site:<ul><li><b>Title:</b> G-series Keyboard Software</li><li><b>Software Version:</b> 2.02.101</li><li><b>Post Date:</b> 12/21/2007</li><li><b>Platform:</b> Windows Vista</li><li><b>File Size:</b> Approximately 12 Mb</li></ul>It says Windows Vista, but there is an XP version available as well.

<p>grr got newest software followed instructions listed above. I get the EverQuest II sonly online entertainment screen I can navigate all over but no updated stats everything is maxed at 10. network statistics all read 0 so seems to be of no use at the moment any ideas on what may be wrong??</p><p>I am running Fetish as a ui should i try copying the file from the ui to the fetish ui folder?</p><p>Never mind only works in default ui mode until someone updates fetish to include the G15 board</p>

Even though you have the eq2ui_mainhud_g15.xml file in your directory, it must be referenced by the eq2ui_mainhud.xml file.  If you are running a custom UI which has replaced your eq2ui_mainhud.xml with their own version, the G15 window will not get loaded, and data wont be sent to the screen.All you need to do is edit the eq2ui_mainhud.xml file and add the following line somewhere in the middle of the file.<include>eq2ui_mainhud_g15.xml</include>Save the file and reload your UI or restart the client and everything should work fine assuming your G15 drivers are installed correctly.
