Error 1002: Incorrect Version (at login)

[micherry]

Hello, thanks for reading my post =)

i have just registered at eqemu, then i downloaded the *host file* from the site, my eq is currently updated, with all expansion, kunark, velious, luclin, pop and loy.

i replaced the host file, using eqw 2.35a with run patchprogram untick, when i try to put in login and password, it comes up a error 1002, incorrect version !! Run the patch program to ensure you have the current version

please help

thank you very much

Error 1002 means you are connecting to the wrong login server for the client that you have.

IF YOU HAVE THE EQLIVE CLIENT:
Replace the contents of eqhost.txt (file located in your EQ directory) with the following:

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}


IF YOU HAVE THE DEC 2002 CLIENT:
Replace the contents of eqhost.txt (file located in your EQ directory) with the following:

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5999"
}




I have also heard that changing DataRate.txt (same directory as eqhost.txt) can be helpful: Try using 8.0 as your datarate.

Use Windows Notepad if you don't know how to edit files.

I wouldnt use that eqw prog just make a .bat file with this...

rem -start batch file-
eqgame patchme
rem -end batch file-

you dont need the rems (remarks) either.

After replacing the eqhost.txt data with

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemu.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemu.net:5997"
}

I get:

Error 1001: Could not connect to the EverQuest server! Please try again shortly.

I'm running in EQW with latest patch up but not patching before entering EQW... any fix for this?

This sticky is out of date due to a domain change, should be

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}

Also if you patched since August 26th, you won't be able to connect until 5.0DR3

What if your using the minilogin server thingy?
I'm getting the same error...

[ssgohan67]

I still get error 1001 try again later message... :(

[szchang]

how to know which version i have ?
EQLIVE CLIENT or DEC 2002 CLIENT

i download a everquest.exe from an website
i download all files from server , that website have a ep.exe to patch but it display wrong size.

i use 5999 or 5997 login show 1001 error

how should i set for my eq?

[a_Guest03]

Cool, so we probably shouldn't help you because you admit that you have warez. You have the Octember 4004 issue.

You need to buy everquest. It's only $9.99 at most American stores.

[NSM-Chewy]

having the same problem
says im havin the wrong version and i tried both :

"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5999"
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"

this sucks i cant play with either the patched or non patched version....
with non patched i get wrong version msg
and the patched version is Scr3\/\/3d cuz of patch

[yoyu007]

RMB 9.99 =1.01$

cheaper than America

I cant seem to fix this it keeps telling me to DL a new version. I have the EQemu patcher but that wont work either. I think i need a Eqlive client but I dont know where to get it. Anyhelp would be appreciated. Thanks

[koad]

if your trying to logon to a 0.5.3-DR2 server, use eqlive version (dec 23 i think is the date)

You have to have actually purchased Everquest. Then you let the patch run. That is the EQ Live client. The settings to change after that are in all the guides all over. Also, a quick search of the forums says to NOT use the EQemu patcher any longer. Never ever. It's also a sticky announcement DIRECTLY ABOVE this thread.

my prog stopped being able to connect this morning...account was deleted from lack of posting...so I reregistered, and now I get error 1017 -- did a full file scan on the reg. EQ (sony) servers, still nothing....cant even log onto 5.5 servers..any help?

[samandhi]

check your eqhost.txt, if you patched eqlive it will change the eqhost.txt back to what it is supposed to be on eqlive...

Please dont post support questions on a sticky thread, create a new thread...

[Tulleh]
