Changes include: - added support for DirectX 9 - hotkey support for: Win (windows key) - custom window title - GlobalActivate hotkey to activate a specific EQW window from any app (including other EQW sessions), default is Ctrl Alt A - if you want to use this feature with multiple isntances you'll need a unique EQW directory and GlobalActivate hotkey for each instance - EQWSwitch hotkey will cycle through all EQW windows instead of just 2 - gamma may not work correctly, not sure yet if this can be fixed in EQW Thanks again for the donations. Our Folding@Home team is coming along nicely as well (see last news update for details).

3/23/04 - it's broken

I'm working on a new version that's compatible with the DirectX changes in the latest patch. To pass the time check out Folding@Home, a distributed computing project that uses idle cpu time to study protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. I created an EQW team with id #36021 but feel free to join any other team if you wish. I'd also like to thank everyone for the donations, I really appreciate it.

	4/22/03 - Scam Warning
Someone is sending emails that claim to have the latest version of EQW as an attachment. This is actually a trojan or something and you should not use it. EQW will never be distributed as an attachment and you should only download it from this web page.

4/12/03 - new version 2.35a

2.35a is up here. This version addresses the issue of the mouse locking in other windows while 1 is zoning. The method I am using has caused problems for EQW users in the past, primarily with sound. If you have new problems with this version set Multithreaded=FALSE in eqw.ini and post your experiences in the Bugs forum. Keep in mind the EQW window switch hotkey currently doesn't work while zoning so you will have to use alt-tab to switch windows.

	4/8/03 - new version again again
2.35 is up here. This should work with 32-bit desktop color quality.

	4/8/03 - eqmain.dll not loading?
If you are getting an error that eqmain.dll won't load, set your desktop color quality to 16-bit. Looking into a permanent fix for this.

	4/8/03 - oops
2.33 was messed up, get 2.34 here.

	4/8/03 - Did I say weeks? 'Cause I meant seconds.
New version 2.33 is up here. The EQ/EQW hotkeys to release the mouse won't work at the login screen. If you need to get out of the login screen hold the windows key and press M. This will minimize all windows and release the mouse. Also, this version should provide temporary relief for people "freezing" at the eula/login screen when not using EQW.

	4/8/03
EQW is broken with the latest patch. Check back here in the next day or two for an update.

	1/11/03
If you are crashing after server select read this.

	1/10/03 - part deux
If you were getting 2.3 instead of 2.32 try downloading again. The file is now eqw232.zip instead of eqw.zip.

1/10/03

New Version 2.32 is up! This version fixes the problems introduced with the new EQ windowed mode changes. Keep in mind it is not compatible with EQ's windowed mode so don't try to alt-enter. Get it here or from any of the above download links. Other changes include: - fixed packetloss/ld problem on Windows 98 - added stored window position support for all resolutions - removed (in)sanity window position checks (for multimon people) Would like to thank everyone for all the donations and kind words. I guess EQW isn't so dead after all. Until next patch...

	1/9/03
So the new windowed EQ feature is a good start but missing a few things that EQW does. From what I've heard EQW still works except for the keyboard. If this is the case it shouldn't be too hard to fix. Stay tuned for an update.

12/22/02

It looks like SOE is going to add windowed mode to EverQuest which would mean the end of EQW. This is how it should have been from the beginning. I feel proud that EQW was able to open opportunities for people that loved the game but didn't want to give up total control of their computer or wanted to increase their enjoyment by playing multiple characters. The new version is still unfinished. I simply haven't had the time I once had to work on EQW. Hopefully their implemention will be complete and EQW will no longer be neccessary. Hope you all had fun. just some dude Fattyfat/Hagas/Chestyy Order of the Phoenix - Saryrn

Still working on the next version. It will support switching between fullscreen and windowed mode, alt-tab in fullscreen mode and recover from desktop resolution changes. Look for it here soon. Would also like to thank all that have donated. It has definately made me feel better about continuing work on EQW. New site design is by KiLlErSpAm. The guides are currently incomplete. If anyone would like to help writing them let me know.

	7/23/02
2.31 had some problems, replacing with 2.3 until it's fixed.

	7/22/02 - New Version 2.31
Switched keyboard input processing to message-based instead of using DirectInput. This should fix sticking keys and keys that "leak" in from other programs or instances of EQW.

	New Version 2.3
Got some EQW forums set up here. Also snagged www.eqwindows.com, going to start referring to that instead of eqw.eqhackers.com, though the old domain will still work. changelog: New in 2.3: - made compatible with new ui - added some front end options - fixed hotkey problems - added hotkey support for: tab - fixed 32-bit login screen
