What is your eqgame file size and change date?

I have a previous F2P client with the eqgame.exe showing 5/11/2013 and 8,569 for a file size.

The F2P I downloaded on 1/15/2015 has a change date of 12/3/2014 and a file size of 10,617

Sounds like you patched your client to Live. The Steam update page still shows this:

The actual build date if you open logs/dbg.txt should show this for the correct RoF2 client:

Hmm, not sure how that could have happened but I will just wipe what I have and download it again.

Thanks for the heads up Trev.

When I downloaded it I zipped the whole directory up and backed it up just in case I accidentally patched it to live, which is so easily done!

That is what I normally do. I did happen to get it downloaded from Steam last night again, pushed it up to my nas. It worked just fine, just sorting out past issues right now.

I read that as "pushed it up my ass", which made me spit my coffee out.

Dude, never, ever waste coffee.

Fuuu, just seeing this. Need to grab the new client asap.

Nub question I am sure, but the link (http://store.steampowered.com/app/205710/) points to a F2P download page with a "Release Date: 13 Dec, 2012".

In the play guide it says we need "Everquest: Rain of Fear (RoF2 - Build Date of May 10 2013 23:30:08)"

Are they one and the same, or has it been patched ???

They wouldn't patch to an older date. They are referring to the release date of the client most likely. Either way, the download is correct. You can check the logs/dbg.txt file output after downloading and running the client one time to verify the date.

Fair enough. Cheers.

Each time I see the RoF2 changes on GitHub I get a little bit giddy Trev :D Awesome work.

Demonstar55 and Uleat have both been helping with RoF2 a bit as well, so it isn't just me :P

I am excited to get closer to completing the RoF2 client. I am working on Bazaar now, which is one of the more complicated systems that is left to do. Hopefully I can get it working without too much more work. So far, I have it so you can start a trader on RoF2 and purchase from them using previous clients (UF or lower). If I can get purchasing working on RoF2, it should be done.

That will mostly just leave Guild Bank as the final thing to get done to complete the client (at least enough to be fully caught up with any previous client compatibility on EQEmu). This will hopefully be easier to do than the Bazaar stuff, so it may not be too much longer before it is done.

There will still be minor issues to resolve that aren't well documented yet or easily reproducible. I think the cursor buffer work-around still needs a few more tweaks to be perfect. Sometimes people still have issues with that, mostly related to stacking items.

It will be nice to finish this off so other things can be focused on. It will be the first fully compatible client since UF which has been a few years :)

ive been having issues with the rof2 and underfoot clients with my apu processor. i can not get past the character select screen with out the client crashing. but if i patch to live with the latest updates of 03-31-2015 i can connect to live(couldnt before then) but can not get past server select using the patched to live? any ideas why that is?

You can't patch to live.

EQ has issues with some processors and they have to fix them sometimes, if that's the case you're SOL
