Advanced Combat Tracker -- FAQ

Question: ACT says my EQ2 log is too old or "Idle" all the time and nothing updates...

Depending on your EQ2 installation type and location, your log files may be in many various places. Old log files will be left behind that EQ2 does not write to any longer.

The only sure way to find the currently used EQ2 log file is to have EQ2 actively logging and to use a special utility(or plugin) to detect what log file is being written to.

The easiest way to get the plugin is to use the Get Plugins button in the upper-right corner of the Plugins tab. Select "(43) Find My EQ2 Log" and click Download and Enable.

Following the prompts, you may be asked to accept downloading the utility Handle and confirm selecting the detected open EQ2 log, if found. If not running as admin, this process may take up to a minute.
