It's possible that the patch may have changed your eqgame file... There was someone else that posted earlier and had was having the same problems after patching. It's possible that it might have messed something up. Hopefully there will be an announcement soon if it did....

The patch DID change the eqgame.exe file today. You will either have to roll back or wait for the devs to come out with the new files.

*cough* Just be careful what you post, asking for eqgame.exe is warez and is against the forum rules - bannable offence.

Might want to edit that post, eh?

Read the rules!!! http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=96

1) No Warez (No Discussion or Providing of Warez). Warez is any file that has been obtained without purchase from the company or a "legit" vendor, or without the sole permission of the owner, or company is considered illegal and is not permitted on these forums. This also includes all EQ files and also means do NOT ask, give out, host, or in some other way promote the giving out of these files. This includes but is not limited to: The EQ Patcher, eqgame.exe, eqmain.dll, spdat.eff, cshome.s3d, cshome_chr.s3d, or ANY file downloaded with the Verant EQ Patcher (aka Everquest.exe) with the exeption of files that can be re-created within 10 seconds by hand (this means eqhost.txt is okay).

*NOTE* Downloading the EQ Files off the Sony FTP Site is not a legal question to ask here. That is if you are buying their service, not to play here. Giving out this link will get your thread erased

Yeah, sorry. I thought you had a backup that you could use.... If you don't have one, you're out of luck, sorry :( . Like Monrezz said, may want to edit....

I copied over the following and it works:

eqstr_us.txt
eqgraphicsdx9.dll
spells_us.txt
eqgame.exe
eqnews.txt
tac_chr.s3d
patchcache.xml
eq_missing_files.log
eqfecfg.cfg
everquest.log

Some were dated 4/14 and some were 4/19...those last two patches i know worked.

All that did not work for me and i have a version of eq not patched after the 21first hrmm... i am gonna patch it back up and try each file alone see if that works or try a combo of them.
