I have window7 on laptop and Window7 64bit on Desktop with no maps
I have moved EQ out of the Sony folder and reloaded maps no luck. I have created another folder and opened maps there then moved them in to the maps folder no change. Nothing I have done is working on either of my machines.
I think it's pot luck if you get them to start working with any of the above solutions . Oh, I even ran EQ in Admin mode with no change. All I have noticed, after I unpacked the maps many of the files have 0k for their file size. What's that all about.
Help!
Vista 32 bit works and Windows 7 64 bit as well
UNBLOCK the files....
The game installs to "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest" or Program Files (x86) if 64bit vista or windows 7
Just extract or paste the txt files into "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\maps" but do not do it while the game is running.
In windows 7, when you extract or copy files from another computer or download files, windows 7 may block the file. This means tat the file is there, but windows 7 is blocking access to it. What you have to do is right click on each of the txt files you copied and go to properties, then click the "Unblock" button. issue solved.
