Hrrm, with the new release I am getting the "Incorrect Version" with the minilogin...any ideas?

[Shawn319]

patch up and make sure you're using eqemu as account and password. also make sure eqhost.txt is setup for localhost:5999

"Login server responded with FatalError. Disabling Reconnect.
Error Message 'Incorrect Version'

changed my EQHost file, but still getting the version errors with minilogin

ill keep digging though, maybe i missed something

[Shawn319]

Login server responded with FatalError. Disabling reconnect
Error message: 'Incorrect version'


This is caused by one or both of two things:

1. You left worldaddress blank in loginserver.ini (this needs to have your real IP. if your using minilogin it needs to be 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

2. You didnt add or use the correct loginport= in loginserver.ini

get the new loginserver.ini in the 0.2.5+ zip.

[Shawn319]

Readme updated.

[Shawn319]

Updated again: had one too many worldaddress's.

I was running all fine and stuff, until just now

Running version 2.5, patched and all...

Was able to connect and everything on Saturday, but today I cannot...I did not change a thing.

When running world.exe I get:

LoginServer connect. Connecting to the server failed. Error: 10061

[Shawn319]

make sure gotfrags loginserver is UP.

[Shawn319]

Updated readme for 0.2.6 (not yet released) but will still work fine for 0.2.5.

**Note: Do not patch to the current version of EQ untill 0.2.6 is released or you will not be able to make your own server.
