Is there a guide that does work now? Only problem I ran into with this guild even after i put EQHOST as read only and boot up EQ it will still patch new EQHOST

make sure your shortcut has the drive:\path\eqgame.exe patchme, or else yes it will continue to patch that file and return it to Sony's default, even if it is write protected.

Most of the guide is still correct, as far as I can tell. The only confusion seems to be the login server port to use. It's a little confusing when there are several listed in one thread, just to find in another thread that the previous port is wrong. Could someone post a sticky of just the proper ports, make it as simple as possible, since 5996 is gone.

eqlsclient.ini file still need to be downloaded onto eq directory? only step I missed, I think.

so what port should it be?

Whenever i doudle click on the Shortcut to eqgame icon this little box comes up and it says "Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt. Does anyone know what that means? please help

Try making sure your Start In field on the shortcut is your eq directory as well as the target being your eq dir + eqgame.exe -patchme

anyone know what to type when u 1st get in so you dont get kicked repeatedly?

I am getting that Lack of Internet connection error also, and of course, seeing as how I can make this post, I do indeed have Internet connection. WTF am I doing wrong? I have updated the eqhost.txt, and the eqclient file but to no avail. Please help. Should I just reinstall my old EQ CD to my 2nd HD and go from there?

All that what you said is right..im not sure what to do =/

hi i have done all things in the tutorial and it still doesn't work !!

and i have note down eqgame.exe patchme

I clicked on the link: http://www.eqemulator.net/eqresetauthrequest.php

And got the following error message:

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

In addition, I followed the guides as close as to the letter as possible, but when I load EQ it completely crashes my system.
