Guide/fix bug (short)

Here's the short version for "How to reset EQ and get rid of most bugs easily".
1.. In-game on your main character, type " /save_UIsettings " (without the " " ) ... this creates an XML file with server and char name for every character you have created on that account (save backup outside the eq2 folder, and copy back when scanned)
:ex." freeport_charname_eq2_UIsettings.XML"
2. Also in-game, go to options and save your preferred graphic settings (in-game ALT+O, save button on the bottom)
this creates a file in the root game folder the same name as you just created
:ex. "highsetup.opt"
3. In your EQ folder delete the following:
:Folders:
::Cache (NOT ASSETcache, thats all graphics data - 12gb download to restore)
::Logincache
::Logs
::UI (delete this folder ONLY after you've saved your UI settings)
4. In the basic EQ2x game folder, delete these files:
:eq2_default.ini
:eq2_resent.ini
:eq2.ini
5. On startup after deleting, in launch window, you'll notice the game server will reinstall a small patch approx 34mb. Wait until this download is complete. Once it's complete, DON'T PRESS PLAY, instead press "options" in upper left corner. In the "options" window run a scan, and download the deleted files. Also click "check streamed assets on startup", this syncs your PC with the servers info (good for locked XP bars, missing items and such)
