So I redid my install of EQ2 after years of the old one. The problem I have is now I cant see the nameplates of anything past 5 feet out unless I mouse over it. Half the time I am in aggro range of a MOB before the name even comes up. I have been scouring the settings for weeks now to fix this. I cant get the range to go out any farther. I used to be able to see nameplates way far out there. I can crank my settings to max in every category on my box and not kill performance that much, so its not a resource issue. Help !! Someone tell me whats wrong please. I have literally tried every suggestion so far and nothing.
EQ2 button > Options > Display - Click advanced button - set render distance to MAX Under model detail - set level to max "Level of detail Bias", Triangle Density" and "High Detail characters" set to 45-50ish "Low Detail Characters" Agee
Look under Options/User Interface/Name and Chat Bubbles and Make sure you have selected to Always show NPC Names. There is a lot of good stuff under Name and Chat Bubbles including Show Distance to Target.
Sad to say this is still a thing. I have everything to max. My NPC name options are all set to Always...but names NEVER show up. Sometimes they randomly appear out of nowhere or when I am super close similar to what is described here. So its like the name option is working but it does not show until they are VERY close. It did not do this always, seemed to randomly stop and no idea why. Sometimes I wonder if I hit some weird hotkey nobody knows but everything is on.
