EQ2: Chat Window question

Hello all,

My question pertains to saving a second chat window. I set up a second
chat for tells and group text. I'm hitting the apply button after I make my
changes, but every time I log off, it seems to erase my settings. I log back
on with the second chat window still there, but set at the default settings
(all text, all messages, etc.)

A friend of mine tells me that he never has to redo his chat settings, so
what am I doing that causes my settings not to save when I log?

Thanks,

Ching

It seems to be random whether it will revert back or not. The fix is
coming in the big patch sometime in the beginning of January. One
thing I have noticed is that since creating another chat window (third
total), the second one is always the correct way now when I log back
in. Maybe you can get around the annoyance by making another window,
and just shrinking it down and stick it somewhere unobtrusive. That
way the one you care about isn't reverted back to default.

I use 3 chat windows (one for most stuff, one for battle spam, one for
private tells) and the filters on all 3 seem to randomly get screwed
up.

I also have a second chat window for tells and group chat, however I have a
different issue. I have both windows set to fade to transparent a few
seconds after the window gets a message. However, after about 2 hours of
playing, the second window no longer fades to transparent even though
there's no new messages in it.

Perhaps this problem will also be addressed in the upcoming patch.

Wish I knew, I have the same problem, probably 90% of the time, my second
window gets set to be identical to my first window, including the name.

I have the same problem. My brother told me that it will happen if you play
alts with different chat settings. Apparantly if the settings are the same
on all your chars chat boxes it will not screw up so often. Have not tried
this yet tho so I can't vouch for it.

Not the issue for me, I have not been playing alts in general, and it
still happens.

I had the problem constantly until last week thought it may of been patched.
I remember trying lock (out of desperation) and disabling the corresponding
chats in chat window 1and font/window size but all I can say is the best of
luck and I hope you all have yours corrected soon.

So far, as of yesterday or so, the problem seems to be gone for me.

You're one of the lucky ones then. There are several threads on the main
message boards complaining about this. Post-big patch, the settings still
don't save for many (including all 4 of my character slots). Even worse,
they've added a NEW bug in to the mix such that if you now create a new chat
window, the window itself disappears (as in gone, not just invisible) after
camping.

Ouch. It is fixed for me, have not seen the problem once since the big
patch.

It appears to be fixed for me now, also, after copying my UI over from a
second machine. But the patch itself didn't appear to help me in any way
(unless it somehow fixed the problem on my laptop but not my desktop where I
primarily play). Simply deleting and recreating UI's on the original box
didn't help. Uninstalling, deleting the EQ2 directory and reinstalling
didn't help... but copying the UI over from an entirely different box did.

Very... odd. But hey, it seems to have worked.

Odd indeed, I did nothing at all on my system, it just was suddenly
fixed.
