It may be intentional for pets not to die upon logging out. SOE recently added pets to the no-rent ruleset -- that is, if you log back on within 30 minutes of logging off, you will still have your pet.

On the pets not showing walking animation, make sure that you have human male models turned on. This fixed the issue for me as these are old pets for some reason and the old ones always need Male Humans turned on.

Some stuff...
 

First of all, thanks eqemu guys for taking your free time to create the new version for us. The beta is looking great.

This should be a priority - Endless zoning loop bug between zones. Im having the same problem as rag with 2 characters on 2 seperate accounts. These characters are cought in an endless loop of zoning between west freeport and WC. If I could bypass this bug myself, I would. But they are perminently cought in a zoning loop where I cant #zone out. If the GM's can, could you warp characters 'Alick' and 'Shaneco' out of this endless loop. Like I said, this bug should be a priority to fix, since players cannot "deal" with it.

Necro pets seem to be slightly overpowered. They cast a higher level lifetap that I am unfamiliar with. Level 4 necro pet can knock a level 8 mob down from 100% to 50%. Level 4 necro pet also seems to hit for 10-30's. I donno if this has already been an issue since I have only recently joined the eqemu community.

Also, should there be a seperate forum for Beta Bugs so we can list problems? Or am I just not aware of the place where the beta testers relay there findings to the developers?

Anyway, keep it up guys, thanks again! =)

Oh, sorry, I just found the PEQ Char Mover on the other site. So I can "deal" with the zone bug now, lol. Still, it is a troublesome bug.

If you believe the problems are database related, post them on the Velious Beta forums at http://www.projecteq.net

While I can't verify it at this time, there's a good chance that the zone line and pet spells are database related.

Yup, this is a database issue, not an EQEMu issue. So you'd need to talk to PEQ about that, that isnt a beta issue :)

I get to server select fine, but when loading finishes (at "loading equipment") Just before loading the character select screen, I get an error Microsoft C++ runtime Error, eqgame.exe abnormal program termination. Has anyone else had this problem?

If PEQ is up and open, then the problem is on my end somewhere, but I can get to the server select screen fine. Any ideas? :?

Have you try to make a complete files check on patcher ? :)
if not, just delete your eqgame.exe and EQGraphicsDX9.dll and try it :)
you have some files corrupt :p

Yup, did in depth file scan, refixed the host file, ran again, and this time it didnt even get to loading equipment, it crashed on loading character models. this is a fresh install today+patch to live, so I'm pretty sure the files are not corrupt. However, I do not have Gates, Omens or Dragons installed, and the login server says I'm enabled for them. Could this be the problem, that EQ is trying to load files that arent there?

Well its been almost 2 years since i was last in the eqemu game...let alone eqlive. Well im trying to connect to this baby and everytime i try to login it times out. Straight away after pressing the login button it says "timed out" cant say ive ever had that happen before.

catn login
 

i cant login to the server, do i use the account i created on this forum or some other account? or is the server down?, when will it be up again?

You need to create a loginserver account. Use this link. and then create the username/password.

Good luck.

Grrr, I can't stay connected to the server.

I'll be playing for like 10 mins, and then I'll try to attack something or search for an item or whatever, and nothing will happen. Then I realize I'm lagging out and I eventually just have to /quit or something.

But I alt tab and surf the internet just fine....longest I've been lag free on the server is like 15 mins lol.

helpppp

PS. Other than this the server is kicking ass so far, I came back into EQEmu about a month ago and haven't been able to play anthing, so tonight is the first time I've been on EQ in like 7 months! Soooo fun.

I have this same problem. I log in and within 10 mins my character locks up. I can move around and jump, but I cant do anything else, no opening doors, spell casting, attacking, even /camping. Granted, this character was also filled with lots of twinked stuff using #summonitem. I believe the problem is linked to some of the items summoned, When I deleted all the items, I stopped having the problem.
I just hope I dont get this bug when the beta ends and I can play a character for real. This bug is pretty serious, I hope the DB guys are working on a fix.

I hope you went to http://projecteq.net/ and submitted a bug report to let them know about it, otherwise it won't get fixed. They're not psychics.

Ah well I was talking to a couple people on irc and in-game. It sounded like it was a known bug that was tough to solve, thats why it has never been fixed.
But I will go post there anyway.

Hey, I just tried with Everquest Trilogy, and it works great so far. There's only one thing; crteating a shortcut with 'patchme' doesn't seems to work. The game still lunch and check all files. So it always overwrite my eqhost.txt. I have to overwrite the file before clicking on 'Play'.

Anyway, good work guys!!!

Mhhh are you sure to make shorcut on Eqgame.exe and not Everquest.exe ?

I guess I was too much in a hurry to play ^_^
Now it works just fine, thanl you.

To fix the lock up problem Hold Down SHIFT and hit the down arrow key 3 times that should unlock it.. this is a prob in EQ Live also

Did BETA end today? I know it was mentioned that it would only go one week from 04/22 and I seem to remember the MOTD saying that it would end on May 1. Any update on this? I haven't tried to log in yet, just curious if the beta will continue until more known bugs are fixed or if there will be a compiled release to the public.

Thanks

Well I just loged on about an hour ago and it seems that no server reset has taken place as of yet. I also checked out PEQ webpage for any info on the matter and nothing about it was up in the forums when i looked.

I'm sure it will take place anytime now or at least we'll hear something by 2nite if not earlier. I am awaiting the reset before getting farther involved so that progress with my character will not be lost =)

the descision was made to run the beta for prolly at least another week or two, due to myself and others being extremely busy and not having time to fix issues.

The endless Zone loop
 

How can i solve this problem? i have read that Cy7 solved it ... can u tell me how plz ?

Thx mate

No worries at all, was just looking for an update to see what was going on. :D

Hope the public version comes out soon >< can't wait to setup my own server again lol

whats the current score with patching to live?
 

bit confused here... someone enlighten me

Whatcha need enlightening on? Beta for Live compatible will be going for a little while longer. Once released the message up top about no patching should be removed and we can all rejoice. Those who have not been able to play will be able to, those of us who have found work arounds can patch and be happy.

and does anyone know if this update will contain a fix so we can play on the dragons of norrath zones as well? would be awesome.

With this update you can play on Dragon of norrath extension
BUT you need a database with it, and i don't know any server with that
(Go go go Devs :p)

Can't log in
 

hrm, everytime i try and log in it says connecting to login server and just sits there....doesn't give a could not connect message or anything, anyone shed some light?

a few days ago i was able to log in just fine..haven't patched a thing since then so not sure what's up

I don't understand why you put your support message here ? this thread speak about live compatible client (PATCHED). Plz read thread before post in...
If you want connect your live compatible client, don't be LAZY and read ALL this post, answer is inside.

Latest Patch....
 

The latest live patch (05/11/05) seems to break the emulator. can anyone confirm this please? Thanks

im having problems also with logging in now but its hard to say if its the patch that screwed it up bcuz i cant say which server now is live compatible now that grand creation server is no longer up....

I think that if you patched any time after 12/13/04 you are s.o.l. until

the new release comes out.

Koshoji

LOL! I patched today too! PEQ is up and I get 1017 error when trying to log in..So I guess the best thing for me to do is install another HD and a trick select switch so that I can boot to a whole new HD and OS..Seems like a lot to go through but I wanted to do that anyway..Wish I had done that last week!

we are damned :( :( :(

Hey Bel, how do you say 'back to the drawing board' in french? 'DAMNIT!'? j/k

Is there gonna be a release of emu for those that have not patched on this latest patch? You know there MIGHT be a few smart'uns in the bunch that have enough sense NOT to have patched today, LOL.

In french we can say
"Remettre l'ouvrage sur le metier a tisser"
that more poetic thing for say my disapointment :(
I think about devs who work hard for make a Up to date release
and Soe who destroy it in only one patch...
