[senseless]

I finally got everything installed and running..

It all looks good..

[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_3572.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..

... World.exe reports:

[Status] Using database 'eq' at localhost:3306
[Status] EMuShareMem loaded
[Status] Loading items from database: count=54535

.. It all looks good, at least compared to my previous installs on a linux server..

At this point, I tried to connect to the server with my everquest client... Upon connecting to the server EVERYTHING (eqemu server, and eqclient) crashes and leaves no entries in the log file citing what the crash may have been due to.. I can't even manage to get to taskmanager to kill the processes, I have to shut down in order to use my computer again..

I already know for a fact that my everquest client's version will not work on the server.. I was just trying to connect to verify it would handle the client connect properly.. On my previous installations it wouldn't crash the eqemu server but it would crash my everquest client.. This is what I was expecting to happen..

Any idea what might cause an out-of-version eq client to crash the eqemu server? Miss configuration on my part somewhere?

If I recall correctly, the world.exe use to have more stuff on the screen when it boots..

Going to reinstall EQ with the titanium iso and try again.. We'll see how it goes..
