ThorUI patch for lu27
 

Is Their going to be a patch for thorui in lu27 soe update? :confused:

A patch to fix what? im not having any problems with ThorUI...

I can't sign in with ThorUI anymore since patch, not sure why just gives a SOE error and crashes me out of game.

I'll wait and see what author has to say first...maybe its not for everyone.

Ive had same problem games loads begins to enter character and i get EQ2 client error and back to desktop. Ive deleted the Thor UI folder and can log in, but i really really miss my UI. hope to see a fix soon.

Same problem here can not log in with ThorUI :(

I also cannot login with ThorUI.

Same with me. After LU27 I can't run with Thor without crashing. Deleted Thor & it works fine. We need a patch soon!

Read the thread titled Test Update 27 Broke ThorUI again in this same forum for a workaround.

Its happened to a few UI's all u need to do is delete the file Inevtory_Inventory file from the UI folder and thats it it will run fine without crashing when the char loads up. ;)

Ixoa

Thor UI patch
 

Faetyl Thanks for the quick patch on Thor UI. I was hoping it wouldn't take you long for it.
We all appreciate your fact action on this matter.

Okay, I'm having a problem crashing to desktop when I open the Persona window and click on the Paperdoll tab. EQ2 immediately crashes and gives me the following error:

Fatal Error
EverQuest II has detected an unrecoverable error and must shutdown.
<verify> D:\live\eq2\framework\core\devices\src\DirectX9RenderDevice.cpp (4549): DirectXError. (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL)

I've reinstalled DirectX 9.0c, deleted the ThorUI folder, deleted the default UI folder with the same results.

EQ2 runs fine until I click on the Paperdoll tab in the Persona window.

This happens with the ThorUI Persona window with and without the ThorUI inventory window.

Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance...

Edit: I have Microsoft .Net Framework v1.1 installed. Do I need to upgrade? If so, do I have to uninstall v1.1 first? Thanks!

The .NET framework is not necessary for ThorUI to run properly (only thing offered here at EQ2Interface requiring it that I know of is EQ2Maps).

The rule of thumb I use (and I'm sure Faetyl does too :p) when it comes to fixing errors with the UI is to delete the thorui folder from your UI directory and run the updater to pull a fresh copy of the files. This simple (yet annoying if you use other people's work in conjunction with ThorUI like I do :p) step usually fixes any issues with the UI.

Especially with the recent LU that came through, I would suggest doing this in effort to solve the issue.

Okay, I tried deleting the ThorUI directory and pulled down a new set of files (tried that before I posted).

Anyone else having this problem? or am I just having a really bad day...

sorry but please confirm you deleted \EverQuest II\UI\thorui folder
and allowed the updater to pull all files down again.

This should have resolved the issue.
You can also go into the folder and delete "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml" manually

Otherwise this one has me stumped.

Confirming that I deleted (did not re-name) the ThorUI folder and it pulled down the files again. I can open my ThorUI Inventory window, and the Enhanced Persona window. But as soon as I click on the Paperdoll tab, I get that error again and crash to desktop :(

This is happening on both my computer and my son's. Both running Windows XP Home, one with SP1, the other SP2.

Did you try deleting "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml" manually?

with autoupdate it's easy
 

never had a problem here using autoupdate. Keep up the great work!

Confirmed, manually deleted just the "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml" file and it pulled down a new one. Still crashing to desktop when clicking on the Paperdoll tab.

Guess both of my computers are possessed...

Try manualy deleting the persona file and log in without running thorui.

See if you still crash.

I'm also in the same boat. I just don't look at my paperdoll anymore because it instantly crashes me to desktop. And yes, i've deleted the entire thorUI directory and installed fresh.

Deleted the persona file and didn't crash ... also had no way to access the paperdoll since I had the inventory window installed.

So logged out and deleted the inventory file. I can access the default inventory with the paperdoll fine. Character appears in the window and I can rotate the image using the mouse fine.

Not sure what else to try, so I guess I'll go ahead and upgrade the .NET to v2 and see if that makes any difference.

Thanks for your help so far, and thanks Maelya for posting ... I was beginning to think that I was going crazy...

Edit: Okay, uninstalled .NET Framework v1.1 and installed .NET Framework v2.0 and EQ2 still crashes when I access the Paperdoll tab from the enhanced persona window :(

I have no idea what to tell you on this.
The paperdoll is a hard coded item that is the exact same as the paperdoll in the default inventory window and no changes to it whatsoever. Also I have roughly 100 people I know that are using the same persona window with no issues.
I'd imagine it would perhaps be a graphic issue but the step you took previously discounted that theory as the paperdoll in both windows are the same and you would have the same issue with both windows if it was a graphical issue.

The UI coding is quite simple. Imagine it as a TV and the channel is on the paperdoll channel. We get whatever SOE is sending on that channel no matter where we move the TV...

I hate to say it but i'm at a loss as how to resolve this issue.
I'm afraid I would recommend not using either feature.:(

People have changed thier graphics resolution slider to .65 or above to alieviate the crashing of the client.

That setting can be found under Display->Performance.

Thanks for the info, Zounia. Checked existing settings and one computer is already set at 0.905 but I'll fiddle around with the settings a bit and see.

(Display - Performance - Graphics Resolution)


Hmm, changed one thing only ... changed UI Resolution from 1024 x 768 to 1280 x 1024 and did not crash.

Interesting...

Thanks all ... now I just need a pair of eyeglasses to see the small font...

my resolution is already set to 1280x1024, and my graphic resolution is already at 1.0 (max setting) but still crashing :(

make a backup of that characters window placement settings file then delete or rename the original.
Log in to game and see if you crash.
Note: All your windows should be out of place but i'm thinking it may be a resize issue with the paperdoll.
I notice that when you resize it the paperdoll doesn't resize correctly.
It's a long shot but may be why you are having issues with it.

If that doesn't work I don't have a clue and would recommend you use the default instead.

Please direct all UI issue posts to the appropriate support forum.
