Patcher Woes

Let me express what many of you are feeling right now: Arrrrrrrrrgh! Let me in! Let me in! I want my Kitty! *breathe* OK. According to Sony, they are aware of the problems and are working on them, including bringing on more patching servers. Why they didn't think of this before, since this is almost identical to what happened at the original release is beyond me, but I'm sure they want you to play their game as much as you want to play it. Feel free to use this forum to try to help each other get into the game or to just console each other while you wait.

ATI 3D Rage Pro
# May 23 2003 at 7:12 PM Rating: Default
Hardware accelerated Direct3D 8+ is not available because the display driver does not support it. You may be able to get a newer driver from the hardware manufacturer.

This is the message that I recieve when I run the dxdiag. It says I need to update my display driver, but when I go to find an update there is none. What can I do? And maybe there is an update I just haven't found it yet??
Hope you can help.
BTW. ATI 3D Rage Pro, just in case you didn't read the subject...... OH and because of this.. i am getting the famous... "No 3D Device Found"

ATTN:Anyoe who uses RAGE
# Mar 30 2003 at 10:54 PM Rating: Default
I haven't gotten any responses from my post a few days ago so I'll put out another plea.. anyone with a RAGE IIC AGP or RAGE PRO please email me at KrockinIt@aol.com or reply here.

I cannot run the Direct3d tests 8 and 9, it runs the 7 and skips the rest. I've spent hours downloading every driver I thought might work from driverguide.com and ATI's own web site.. nothing is working.

IF it matters the 3rd button that says AGP texture is always grayed out.. except for one time I installed some driver for a different card, that lit up and the Direct3d got grayed out. Other than that happening, I have been aunabe to get anything except "Tests skipped for Directd 8 blah blah"
Seems like everyone else can get to some kind of step 5 error and fix it from there, but I'm stuck before that.

Thanks nadvanc for any help

I'm having a problem with Everquest. Evereything is fine until I get to the server screen. I click on play EverQuest, the screen goes blank and I get a error box saying "EQGAME.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The error box also states something about let Microsoft know about this problem or something like that. I've tried everytihng from reloading EQ to reinstalling system to an earlier date. Is there anyone that can tell me how to fix this problem?? Thx...

RAGE problems
# Mar 27 2003 at 9:36 PM Rating: Default
About a week ago I decided I wanted to play EQ again and of course I run into a million technical problems... My problem is running the Direct3d test. I don't get to any step 5 like other posts I've seen and clicking enable/disable dosn't work. The test performs and then tells me its skipping the tests for Direct3d 8 and 9.

When I began my device listed was a RAGE IIC AGP but I couldn't find any driver newer than 3 or 4 years old for it.. I've been at it a week! So I'm just downloading other random RAGE drivers hoping something will work. Anyone have any insight? A fella named Fegoff posted that he could at least get to the Step 5 problem with a RAGE IIC AGP card so I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong.... I can be emailed at KrockinIt@aol.com or I would appreciate any insight here.. thanks.

(referenced post)
>>I have a Rage IIC AGP card. And my error is Running Direct3D test and getting error on step5. I'll be greatful if anyone can help me :)

# Feb 26 2003 at 7:17 AM Rating: Decent
I recently reinstalled EQ POP New Dawn UK version which works fine. I also installed Luclin but cannot access any Luclin locations or velious locations from POK. When I installed Luclin I got a message saying I must have EQ installed which I did have. It then seemed to install okay. In Eq it says all expansions installed but this is in yellow not white. Does anyone have any ideas. I installed luclin into the programs/sony/eq folder.
