To get EQEmu to run, you have to patch to EQ live (run everquest.exe) then exit EQ, and run the EQEmu patcher (patch.exe) If that all worked fine, your done patching! DO NOT RUN THEM AGAIN unless you get a version error message when logging into EQEmu.

Once you are patched to the propper versions, only use EQW.exe (or "eqgame.exe patchme") to start EQ when logging into the emu. If you have more than one EQ directory, be sure to check that EQW points to the right eqgame.exe file

Just a followup: I moved home this week-end to a Cable connection (as opposed to the DSL I had at my previous place). Same computer, different broadband connection type, and it works. The only variables was the connection type, so if people are having trouble running patch.exe, it's probably some wacky configuration your DSL ISP is using.

Goodluck.

Bump. Is there still no solution to this problem?

I'm using Windows XP with the firewall disabled, I have no router or other firewall software, and I've followed all the steps listed on the forums and webpage exactly, all to no avail. I'm using DSl, but I don't really see why that would be a problem.

I've downloaded (and installed) the mdac thingy, as well as read almost every post on this subject. Having read those posts, everyone just says wait for a fix... but some of those posts are over 2 months old, and I've seen no indication that a fix is in the works...

Is there no way that I can just download the files manually or something?

Edit:

A file called patchedtemp containing:

Bad Gateway
The following error occurred:
The host name was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator if the problem is.not found by retrying the URL. (DNS_HOST_NOT_FOUND)

is also created after I try using the patcher thingy. I have no firewalls or proxies at all.

Your ISP may have one set up on their end... Besides patching at a different internet hookup, I don't know any solution.

Ah well, guess it's EQ live only for me

Hopefully there'll eventually be a workaround...

That is not true. I have Windows 98se and i have the exact same problem.

I was wrong - it was mostly Win XP at the time.

Liante_M · #23 05-07-2003, 03:42 PM

haha good luck trying to get help about it from here bahahah

a_Guest03 · #24 05-07-2003, 04:41 PM

Patch from a friend's house. It has to do with internet connection.

TheMuffinMan · #25 05-08-2003, 12:14 PM

A pity all my friends use the same ADSL company as me and live in the same area. :(

If any sympathetic and kind person out there would be willing to help me out, send me an e-mail.

*puppy dog eyes*

Do I know TheMuffinMan?

TheMuffinMan · #27 05-08-2003, 02:52 PM

I don't think we've met before this, my fine feathered friend

But yeah, I'd be eternally grateful if someone were to send me those files... or put them on FTP... or something... *aches to play on EQEmu again*

*glares at his private message folder* I keep getting Enjoy Happy Money Making' offers from 'chat'... whoever/whatever that is.

Try installing an AOL disk with free minutes - download patch, uninstall AOL, unregister.

That should fix the problem.

My buddy was having a few issues that might relate. Since everyone and their mother are using routers now they can be the source of a lot of your headaches if you aren't familiar with configuring them.

Try taking the router out of the equation for you cable users. Or with certain routers go in and change the firewall field to gateway. Just for the sake of testing.

For DSL users, it's a tad different depending on your ISP. I know ameritech actually gave us a good router/modem, whatever you want to call it. The problem is no interface to support it, so unless you are familiar with all the command lines telnetting in you're SOL. :|.
