Shaders 3.0 issue

[ScottAdams]

<p>I got a new video card and thought I would turn on Shaders 3.0 again and see how well works. I have a Radeon 6870 card.</p><p>When I turn the option on it says must restart game. But when I come back in the the option is not set.</p><p>What am I doing wrong?</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, you set it, save it, then restart the client.</p>

[ScottAdams]

<p>Yes that is exactly what I did. I notice when I come back in it is not set though. Is anyone using this succesfully?</p>

<p>Go to your EQ2 folder and right-click the EQ2_recent.ini file and select properties.  Is Read Only checked on the properties screen?  Uncheck it if it is and make sure you are launching EQ2 as an admin by right clicking the game icon and selecting Run as admin.</p>

<p>Thanks Josh. Its working now!</p>

<p>You're welcome!  This is a common issue when restoring your game folder from a backup created on another computer or prior to a previous windows reinstall but those aren't the only ways to run in to this situation.</p>

<p>I had something similar happen (before I gave up on Shader 3 for constant crashes with all three of my machines).  If I closed the eq2 window with the big red X in the corner, it wouldn't set.  If I did a /camp desktop it did.</p>

<p>Are you still having any issues like that JoarAddam?</p>
