Fixed Internally Original Windowed Mode for This Character can not be Determined

    Since this latest hotfix I get this message every time I log in.

    [IMG]

    The Copy layout dialog is shown but my layout is fine so I just need to close it
    I also noticed that for some reason all my UI files are now showing a selectable full screen resolution of 1920x1009 instead of 1920x1080

    Ok so the error message apparently only happens when I play on Vaniki, but the resolution thing is all my UI files.

    This is getting very annoying. Get this message on any newly/recently created character and can find no way to stop it happening. Copylayout using a character I know works. but this message reappears every time I log in.

    Characters created before the 'hot-fix' have no issues.

    Any help to fix this **** would be appreciated. Preferably something that does not involve editing ini files. I am not exactly up to speed with things like this, and do not see why I should have to correct something I did not break.

    Created a new character today and every time I log in the Copy Layout window is up, I close the window, log out, log back in and the it is up again ... any suggestions?

    After a week of trying to work around this, seems this last patch where the UI was tweeked again, I found more issues, for 20 years I have been able to save my characters 2 files to a flash drive and basically use that as a template for any new characters, that seems to be broken as well now ... extremely frustrated

    choose 1?

    Choosing a layout makes no difference. Next time logging in you get the 'Original Windowed Mode for This Character can not be Determined' message and the copy layout box appears again. As OP said this happens with newly created characters.

    In addition it makes no difference if you use the default UI or a custom UI, the same thing happens.

    I am having the exact same problem. Existing characters merged into Mischief during the merge and I did copy the layout the first time to move all my keys and stuff (though the spell sets didn't copy over).

    The other problem is that many of my windows are off to the left and off the screen. Sometimes there is enough for me to grab it and move it back to the middle, and sometimes not.
  8. Fopster Journeyman

    Yeah, a lot of mine were to the right of screen, was missing a few as well, thats why I decided to redo my entire setup instead of copying. The alert window, for double xp, ect was missing, maybe has more to do with that last patch with the UI upgrade?

    Try this:

    When you /camp let the timer go through the whole 30 seconds instead of using the fast camp option.

    Not helpful. Tried camping out in Crescent Reach ( no fast camp ) > Still has same issue
  11. Nolrog Augur


    I camp out regular nearly every time I leave the game and I still get this every time I log in a new toon.

    Having same problem on one of three accounts for the last couple weeks.

    As a workaround, if you switch to restored windowed mode, open or toggle a UI window, and switch back to maximized windowed mode, then it will update the settings so as not to open the copy layout window next time. This can be done by:
    1. Launch game client
    2. Login a character
    3. Click the restore window button in the title bar
    4. Press ALT+F to open the Friends window
    5. Click the maximize window button in the title bar
    The character's UI .ini file should be updated sufficiently for the copy layout check.

    Is that related to how recently I have noticed when I open the EQ client it doesn't align to the full screen by default anymore? (I just maximize it before logging in)

    Like this, for example:
