EQ Live Patch 21st of April

[dirtynumbangel]

there was a Live patch today, and I can't log on past the character select screen on all Emu servers.

I was wondering if this was due to said Live patch, or if my computer has recently become possesed. Will there be a Emu patch of live content? or shall I call a priest to preform an exorcism on my computer?

Well if you still havent a own Directory for EQEmu (EQ in another than live) then thats your own problem. Developers and other WAY TO OFTEN told PPL LIKE YOU to use 2 different Folders for EQ-Live and EQ-Emu. If you aren't able to follow some guides then youre probably to dumb to be an EQEmu Player.....

[dirtynumbangel]

I have 2 directories for eq and eq emu, perhaps i did something wrong while following the directions for setting up eq emu, I followed them exactly as they were, and yet my eq emu folder's eq still patches. <I'm human I make mistakes>

perhaps rather than trying to flame me from the get go and telling me I am too dumb to be playing eq emu, maybe someone should enlighten me as to what I obviously messed up while setting up my eq emu folder. perhaps tell me what, if anything i can do to fix it.

I read, re~read and followed the directions as closly as I could.
there really is no need to get rude with someone and pass judgment on them before you have even had the chance to get to know them. I am too dumb? *shakes his head*
no I must have made a human error, which is most likely unheard of in the perfect world you live in. perhaps you assume too much, and should stop.

and btw, perfect your usage of the english language before flaming someone about how stupid they may be.
I won't bother to qoute you considering your post is clear as day for eveyone to see.

If you set up everything correctly, it won't patch when you run it... Make sure that your eqhost is correct and your shortcut is to eqgame.exe with patchme at the end. Don't make your shortcut to everquest.exe... It'll patch everytime. I'm not sure about today's patch, I haven't patched in a while. I'm sure that if it messed it up there will be an announcement soon. Good luck :D

First post and you've proven yourself to be too dumb to post anything beneficial. Why don't you just skip posting anything unless you have something worthwhile to say.

@dirty - Be sure that when you create your shortcut that it points to eqgame.exe instead of everquest.exe:

I had just finished re~reading the info on setting up EQ emu, and noticed i had made my shortcut from everquest.exe.

*smacks himself on the forhead*

well i fixed that, and now need to find a way to fix the files that were patched. eqgame.exe, eqfecfg.exe, eqgraphicsdx9.dll . and a few spell effects were patched, the patch only took me a couple minutes on a dial up modem. any suggestions on getting the old files back? perhaps one of you could set up a link on your server website and post those files for me to download? or another way, I would prefer to not to have to download anything from anyone i do not know... no offense.

And btw, thank you very much for being helpfull Itlruss.
nice to see someone above taking a cheap shot at someone.

Sorry, but hosting thoose files would be "warez" and alone asking for them in this forums can get you banned from the Admins....

@RexChaos

I only have 2 posts coz i had to make a new Account in the forums but that doesnt means that i werent here long time before allready.

go and figure out :P

[ltlruss]

Maybe you have been here for a while, that still doesn't give you the right to be rude to someone for asking a question. Dirty is new here, give him a break.

Okay. Thanks. I appreciate you helping me figure that out. You truly are a boon to this community.

[Jezebell]

Just curious if you created a new forum account because your previous one was banned?

[RangerDown]

If you've already patched both folders you have, then the only thing you can do is wait till a compatible version of Emu is released. :( If you've fixed your shortcut, then at least it won't happen in the future.

[dirtynumbangel]

I just remembered i have an old hard drive sitting in a box collecting dust and it has EQ on it :) pre GoD but I am sure i could find the files i need on it. maybe it will work maybe not. never hurts to try. will post my results.

<crosses fingers, and toes>

Thank you all for the help.

What about Restoring your computer to an earlier time? would that work or no?

I think you meant to say:

Well if you still dont' have a seperate copy of EQ that you use just for playing on EQEMu servers then that's your own fault. Developers and many others have repeatedly stated that you should use two different copies of EQ - one to play EQEMu and one to play EQLive - so your EQEMu copy doesn't get broken every time SOE patches. If you aren't able to follow even these simple directions then you're probably too dumb to be an EQEmu Player. . .
Maybe you should graduate from elementary school before you start playing know-it-all.

I don't see a single place where he asked for files.

And you don't get banned from the Admins, you get banned by them.

[Destavator]

perhaps one of you could set up a link on your server website and post those files for me to download?


So you think this is no ask for files ? well what is it then ?

[dirtynumbangel]

I didn't know asking someone to post files for me to download was a banable offense. 4 th day playing eq emu.
besides. I never once said will you post the files. I said perhaps someone could do so. as in is it doable, is it legal. is it ok.

I just wanted help figuring out what I did wrong is all, i got the help.

so stop flame fest 2004.
it's childish...... stupid..... and lame.
and yer only showing people how petty you are

BTW I tried to restore to earlier date on my computer, and it worked to restore the files that the patch updated, so i can now play on EQemu, maybe you should give it a try?

=)

[Snappy]

im wondering why no one has mentioned usinf EQWindows.. I use that and it works very well for logging in.. I have not had any trouble with it so far.. I use THREE eq folders btw.. the third is one from the last patch.. just in case the current one (meaning after a db patch is relesed) happens to be faulty, then I can still play on one of the older versions as some folks choose not to upgrade their DB until the new one seems to be stable.
I also am running the 24/7 hostpros (live) server.
We try and keep up to date as well as we can and it turns out that the last patch seems to have a few glitches.. such as the items poofing when you zone and then reappearing when you zone again, altho there may now be a whole other set of things that are missing.. or items in the wrong slots...
I love this game!!! :wink:

[pheer]

I was wondering, can anyone direct me to a link where it shows how to set up a server, and where commands are. Is this like ragnarok where you can make people gm, and type in something to give levels/items etc?
