Waaaaaaaaaah! :x

Most of the problems have been user error, or inability to explain what has been done to get a user to the point at which they start complaining. "I installed patcher" is not helpful. I did that twice before I realized I had to change the path of the installation from $currentlocation/patcher to C:\everquest . The path is automatically wrong. I made this mistake and felt like a total jackass, but I wasn't belligerent about a mistake I made. I reread the instructions twice, and got it to work.

The patchserver.dat sounds like you didn't unpack patcher to the right folder.

Like I told another person complaining about the service, patcher didn't always exist. If you patched, you had to wait up to 6 months to play eqemu again. Be glad the option is even there. The devs aren't here for support; they want to program eqemu. The common users are here for support. They can help you much of the time if you're detailed enough to give them insight into your problem. I don't know what you did, or what you did wrong, so I can't help you.

If you want help, be supernice to us. You didn't pay for anything - we don't owe you anything. That's how support works. We help you if/when we can, if/when we feel like it. Many people here are nice enough to help even the most belligerent people, but you can't count on them to know all the answers. Be detailed, and I might help you.

Now you gave me useful info.

DNS - I had problems with DNS connection for a while. The DNS servers I used hadn't updated for a while. It could just be that. I got patcher to work after they updated.

[Fortisq]

ok so you think what there ip changed and someone hast to update the host file on the DNS that would explane it but then y is it that i can get to the site http://foreverhacking.net/ if the pointer record was wrong then this page shoiuldnt load unless it in an other system or subdomain hmm well ok thanks man i have been trying for some time but you could be corect

is there any other reason the patcher wont connect to the site?????
is there anywhere i can go and download these files meself???

will patching get rid of the 1017 cant connect to patchserver error????

[a_Guest03]

If you use XP or have antivirus, it might make it not connect. Patching should fix 1017 errors. What sort of firewall/proxy stuff do you have?

[a_Guest03]

When you get this all fixed, update all the stickies . :twisted: It's your turn.

[Fortisq]

im on win 2000 with all service packs on a 1700+ k7 ultra 2 with 512 ddr ram and a gforce 4 440 mx

Thanks man im not at home right now but i can tell you i use pc-cillin for virus protection ant i have a lynksys router so when i get home ill plug right into the net directly and disable my antivirus hope this works.....


PS i would love to update the stickys once i have setup my own server but befor then i would like to play the game ive never played everquest im a ultima man myself..

could you try using the patcher and let me know if its working for you?

[a_Guest03]
