Title: West Bug Workaround
Post by: Furro on November 06, 2007, 08:39:29 PM
Although I've never had the west bug, I know during our raids many people are constantly logging off and on because of it.

A player by the name of Strommmm came up with something that seems to eliminate the west bug for a majority of players:

At HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Direct3D create a DWORD key named DisableD3DXPSGP and set the value to 1. If you want to disable it you can either set the key to 0 or delete it.

For those that don't know how to edit your registry you can download and run a registry script. The  Fix.reg (http://www.withoutaguild.com/Fix.reg) file will enable the fix and the  UnFix.reg (http://www.withoutaguild.com/UnFix.reg) file will disable it.

After the fix is applied you must restart EQ for the changes to take effect.

NOTE: The fix may not work for everyone or it may not work at all. You may also notice a slight decrease in performance in any program that uses DirectX.

Very nice.  I'll see if this works.  The west bug for me doesn't happen a lot so i'll have to use this for a few weeks to be sure.
