Having some issues... UI worked once
 

Okay, I'll try and keep this short, yesterday I downloaded the OCD Complete UI Set from this site. Unzipped the files to "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\OCD\"

I created the eq2.ini file, containing the following
Saved it, making sure it was not eq2.ini.txt, etc.

Loaded up EQ2 and enjoyed my nice new UI. So where is the problem you ask?

Well, today I loaded up EQ2, hopped on my character to find the default UI there again. So I closed EQ2, started it again, same result on all 3 characters. So I thought, well maybe something was updated to break the UI. So, I downloaded another one, Fantasy. Unzipped it to "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\Fantasy\" and updated eq2.ini to reflect the new UI, and still no-go.

So, I tried a few things, including switching around eq2.ini so that it was subdir first, then skinname... same result. Tried deleting all the charactername_ui files... still default. Tried deleting the eq2_recent.ini to no avail as well. I'm not about to give up, but I've tried installing a different UI, reinstalling the current one and I'm getting very frustrated with the whole thing. If anyone has an idea on a fix, I am all ears.

Thanks

Anybody?

I'm tempted to re-install EQ2, but don't feel like downloading the patches again if not needed. So any help, even a simple suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you tried deleting/renaming and then re-making eq2.ini yet? All I can think of is that maybe the drive sector it's on got corrupted or something.

Yes, I have completely gotten rid of eq2.ini and re-created it. I've done the whole install (of the UI) over again, to no avail. The settings I had from before installing the UI were gone too. When I started the game it was like I had just installed it, the extra toolbars etc were all gone, basically all my config files seemed like they were borked. I may try a re-install of everything (windows etc) tonight, since I'm about due for a re-format anyways.

Thanks.
