look in "tut and howtos" "Minilogin with 5.7 DR4 [06.04]" There is a tut how to set eqhost.txt

ok i'v been at this for 3 hours now. i'v tryed all the different eqhost.xtx tricks recomended and nothing works. i get to the logon screen and after i put in my logon and pw the client crashes. do i need any aditional files besides changing the eqhost and the equclient.ini files? any help would be nice plz

Red , just a quick thought, are you patched to latest in the US? If you have a European copy of the game, you'll need to somehow patch to the latest US Copy.

Just a thought. /shrug

I'm assuming you have patchme and everything ..

yes i pached EQ to the latest on 6-11-04, and then i followed the instructions at the begineg of the post but i still just crash after i put in the login and pw

Ok...I get in just fine...but no servers show up...interesting.
Anyone else seeing this (or not as the case may be! ;) )

Oh for the love of.....

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995

Click next to [LoginServer] and delete any spaces.

Do the same for Host=eqemulator.net:5995.

Then save it and make it read only.

let me spell this out so you can understand deathman

Stupid.

I have changed the eqhost.txt and made it read only and also loaded the eqlsClient into the EQ folder to replace the old one but When I try to run eqgame.exe it brings up a window saying "please run EverQuest.exe" using this sends me to sony and forces me to upload the patch which attempts to replace the host.txt and client. Am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance for any replies. It would be cool to be able to play EQ after not playing for years. :)

Yah, Patch, then set ur eqhost.txt back, eqclient should be fine, unless ur makeing new accnt.
but if u have an account already, just patch to live, which currently makes it so u cant play. Screwed up the stuff again. SOE i heard is gunna do regular patch's just to screw over eqemu.

shadow 3things. 1) i wasnt talkin to you, and 2) i set it that way so i wouldent hurt his little brain trying to put the letters togeather. 3) there is no need to insult me, its not like HIS solution wasnt' posted like 4 o 5 times in thie thread already.

Well, as much as I ahte to say it, Im in the same boat as red. Tried all the eqhost tricks and still CTD at login. Patched all the way through 6-16 running Windows XP and EQ US version.

Stuck at "logging in to the server. Please wait....&quo
 

Patched completely up to 6/22/04 followed directions to get setup, I can get to the EQEMU login screen, but when I type my password and username in and hit enter the game is stuck at "logging in to the server. Please wait....". It's not even frozen, it shows up as running when I ctrl-alt-delete, just don't know what to do to fix this. Any help on getting past "Logging in to the server. Please wait...."?

same problem as versus257 :(

Re: Stuck at "logging in to the server. Please wait....
 

Me as well.

^^^ hey me too, must be today, hope they fix it

I've been trying now for couple hours to solve the problem, haven't had any luck yet. Not sure whether or not it's their problem or something I've done wrong in setup. Been reading up on recent problems and people were complaining about June 16th EQ patch, so perhaps that has something to do with this.

Alright...

When I put in my password and username and hit login...

It goes to the Loading please wait box, but it just sits there at that...

Does it take a long time or am I doing something wrong???

same problem with me.

when i login it sits at the loading box forever and nothing happens

wheres our fix? :twisted:

Does it take time for new accounts to work?
 

I just registered a new account and its hanging at login. Is there a delay before a new account will work?

I think something in the new patch might have slowed down EQEMu

So how long does it take for the loading plz wait to go away lol cause i cant get into it =)

whats weird is that the site says that there are like 100 people on right now so somehow they got on but i guess its the people that patched recently i guess, whats even weirder is how it worked fine yesterday, so it must have been something that the devs did to the login server, maybe if they retraced what they did we might figure it out

Crashing every time I hit Login

What do i do??
 

Hello, brand new user of Eqemulator, my friend told me bout it, he told me to change serverlogin thingy & the datarate, & eqls client file, patched eq today (june 25), DL'd the client thing from the top post, changed datarate, & changed the server thing, Host=eqemulator.net:5995
can anyone explain to me what im doing wrong, or what i need to do further?, ive made login name & obviously, forum name, & i apologize if this is the wrong place to post , would apreciate if anyone could help me out, my friend seems to be on it too much to help me out =p ty!

Well i have EQEMU working on 1 computer but i went to put it on another and when i go to log in it just hangs at the server login and never goes anywhere, but it works fine on my other computer and goes right into the server

im stuck at the LOADING PLEASE WAIT screen as well

if i wait long enough will it go lol?? well anyway ive used this thread to solve basically all of my problems except now i seem to be at an insurmountable obstacle and im just wiating for a solution

thanks for all the help so far

and ive never tried eqemu before so i REALLYREALLY want to play sometime this weekend, thank you for all your past and future help

MisterPink

Ok why you are stuck at loading screen. this happens because the patch on June 22nd Broke EQemulator. so you have to wait for the DEV team to fix it. do not ask on an ETA. i suggest u break out the back up everquest folder if u have one if not ur pretty much outa luck unless you get a friend to give u his/hers. please do not ask for these files in forum or IRC that is called Warez and it is forbidden. have a nice day =P

crash
 

I found that when i put the eqlsClient file from this server in the eq folder , itr crashed, but when i replaced it back with original it went fine...

OK my eqhosts file is correct, used the information provided by 'working eqhosts.txt' links. When I try and log in with my username/pw I hang on logging in please wait dialogue. I repatched to live and changed my host file again and tried it that way, now I just crash to desktop... is there any word on whats going on or how to fix it? I had EQEmu running about 3 months ago and it was great. Please some one with any amount of authority or recognition post something that makes sense to reconstitute my patience.

The latest patch is not compatible and will cause the login process to hang forever.

animepimp - Thanks for info. I am having that exact problem. is there anywhere I can see any update on the fix for the latest patch? Is there a location on the site where one could just go to in order to get a status? Or just read the boards?

I dont see anything in the news section on the homepage refering to fact that the new patch is uncompatible with eq emu. I figured that would be the place to look.

Thanks again

Not asking for an ETA, but how long does something like this usually take? Also, is there a way to run an offline LAN server instead of joining an online server? If there is, could anyone direct me into a direction, as far as getting the DB files for the zones and items, etc.

Thanks.

LAN servers are fun , just look in the guides section or something :)

best to be something on it :)

heh

Not sure if this has anything to do with that patch, but I just went through all the changes. And when I try to log in, it sits there for a sec, then I get a dialogue box that says "Error: a timeout has occured." I am supposed to be putting my username and password where the Station Name and password go, right? I created this account a couple wks ago, so I'm not sure if it's the June patch that's messing me up, or if I'm doing something wrong.

Any help is appreciated.


{Edit} Read up some more and found out I'm SoL. :cry:

I can't even get past the login screen it keep saying A time out has occured I'm sorry if Y'all have gone over this already but any help on how to get this fixed would be very appreciated

I am also getting the timeout error :(

Little help
 

When i try and log in it says "Logging in to the server. Please wait...."
It just sits there and sits there.. am i supposed to wait or, am i supposed to change something... Please help lol :?

when I try to create a new account, it says that my account key is not valid.. I tried a new account and the same happened again. any suggestions?

still gettin error message
 

I have been reading over all these forums for the past couple days trying to solve my problem on my own, i even tried this recent "fix", but i still get error- a timeout has occured at the login screen...i havnet really seen an answer for this besides...your screwed till whatever...but i was wonderinf if anything has come out lately to fix this...or if someone could show me if there is an answer to this on the forums...thanks.
