Quest timers all say zero and other issues

[rowanC7276]

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span> Hello, I am having an issue with the public quest timers. Everytime I get close to the area that offers the public quest I get the quest but my timer always says zero. So I have no way of knowing when the event/quest is going to start. On my husbands computer the timers are showing up just fine.</p><p>I thought maybe this was a ui issue. I was using a few ui pieces (not an enitre ui) so I have gone in nad remove all the custome ui pieces. I even removed the eq2ini file so it would re-create the default when I logged back in, to make sure everything was back to the default.</p><p>I am still having the issue with the timers though. I am not sure if it is simply just a bug and nothing on my part or I I need to change some setting I have. It just seems very odd that the timers do not work on my computer but they do on my husbands.</p><p>I am sorry if this is alredy being discussed in another thread. I have searched several times to try and find information on these topics but either I cannot find it - or I have overlooked it.</p><p>Thanks so much for any help.</p>

<p><p>I apologize if the following directions repeat anything you have already done, but let's just cover the entire process here first.</p><p>Additionally, if you have already backed up/removed your custom UI's, you can entirely rule out a default UI issue by deleting the UI folder to have the game download fresh files.</p><p>You may also want to make backups and then delete the following files and folders:</p><p>cache folder</p><p>eq2_recent.ini</p><p>eq2_default.ini</p><p>EverQuest2.exe</p><p>eq2.ini</p><p>As well as the character specific files, these will appear as such:</p><p>Servername_CharacterName_EQ2_uisettings.ini</p><p>Stationname_characters.ini</p><p>To do this, please follow these directions:</p><p>1. First look for your EverQuest II directory. You can find the default directory in (for Windows XP): C:Program FilesSonyEverQuest II (for Windows Vista/7): C:Program DataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest II</p><p>2. Click on MY COMPUTER and then proceed into local disk C:</p><p>3. Navigate your way to the default directory, or your chosen installation directory.</p><p>4. Next look for any files explained above and delete them. </p><p>5. Afterwards, please start EverQuest II to have these files re-downloaded by the patcher.</p><p>If deleting these files does not resolve your issue, you can restore your backed up files and folders and retain your hotkeys, contact lists, and display settings.</p><div></div></p>

<p>I went in and made backup copies and then deleted everything you listed. Still it did not fix the issue.  I am not sure what is causing it .</p><p>I have notices that I have this same timer issue with tradeskill rush order writs as well.</p><p>I should also say that it does not always happen. Sometimes my timers seem to work fine - just like they are suppose to. In the course of a single day they may work properly once then not again for the rest of the day.</p>

<p>It does seem that it is not an issue on your end.  I have reported it and hopefully I can provide an update once I've received it as well.  When that happens I'll post it right here.</p>

<p>I was reading the other thread linked above asn wanted to add a bit more. My timers are still not fixed <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /> .  There will actually work from time to time, but for the majority they are either blank or say 0.</p><p>Yesterday I went in and completely unistalled my game and reinstalled it. Since logging back in after the reinstall it is still not working.</p><p>My computer is new - purchased in Feb 2011. The only thing that I can really think that might be effecting the game is that the new system came with windows 7 - not vista or xp.</p><p>Could windows 7 somehow be causeing these issues?</p><p>Also have hall the strange graphics issues as in this thread <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=497110">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=497110</a></p><p>Also reinstalling the game has not fixed them either <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p>
