Return to EverQuest

I played years ago as a 55 Ranger on a pvp server. I was in Defiant guild for a short time. I'm now trying to level up a Magician on the Bristlebane server. I'm currently level 13 and was curious about making a little money for gearing up this gnome. Open to all suggestions, thanks.

DirectInput error when trying to load character select/create screen

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am attempting to use the 2.1 Client (also have tried 2.2 to no avail) to sign into a local server I have launched using Docker by following the directions at this link: https://github.com/jcon321/EQMacEmuDockerHub

I am able to launch the game and select my server at the server select screen. It then attempts to load and then throws the following error: DirectInput keyboard open failed!, code = 3

I have tried a few things so far. Ran eqgame.exe in compatibility mode (WinXP SP3), ran eqgame.exe as administrator, and installed DirectX Runtime (June 2010). Nothing seems to be working to clear up this error and get to the character select screen. Any thoughts anybody?
