West Bug Workaround

[Furro]

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 file will enable the fix and the 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.
