make sure you are completely logged out of EQ and have exited the game before you copy the files into your maps directory
I am also having trouble with my maps not working properly. I have no borders for any of the zones where any fighting is done. PoK and PoTranquility are fine. That's it!! I made sure that I was logged out of game when I downloaded (all maps). And, went through the process more than once after removing the files and starting over. Thinking maybe it didn't download and extract, etc., etc., the first time correctly. NO SUCH LUCK!!!! Is it me? Or is it MAPFIEND? Dunno, don't care! Just want it fixed.!.!.! Any productive criticism concerning my dilema (not my spelling, etc.) would be appreciated very much.
Most of the problems seem to lie with the operating system being used, the permissions on the files and where the files are downloaded to. It is not a problem with mapfiend, since only a handful of people out of the hundreds or thousands that download maps from here seem to have the problem.
So what operating system are you using?
Where do you have EQ installed?
I don't currently use Windows 7, but from most of the posts I have seen on here from people who do use it, they say the following:
Don't install EQ in /Program Files x86/, create a different directory, like C:\everquest or something.
They also say you have to set administrator rights or run as administrator.
That is about all the info that I have seen so far.
Try going to program data then sony online entertainment and look for eq and then maps folder.I use station launcher and this worked for me.
After putting the maps into the maps folder it's enough if you just reload your UI from ingame; you don't need to log out completely.
If you have more than one account logged in, playing from the same EQ directory, you have to reload the UI's of *all* characters!
