DR4 Broken w/Oct 9 Patch
 

The latest EQ Live Patch (Oct 9) has broken the 0.5.0-DR4 EQEMu code. Don't patch! If you already did, you will not be able to play the emulator until we fix it.

If you see a post asking for help with the 1017 error message, it's very likely the person did not read this message. Just point them to the news section!

The official ETA for this fix is April 12, 2007. Hopefully things will go well and we can surprise you with an early release!

Yay, April 12, 2007 is my 28th birthday. Thanks for the present, guys! ;)

It's not a coincidence I picked that particular day :)

are u kidding me 2007 oe tis thtat be a joke?

No its not a joke, The Devs get sick of people asking for ETA's so they give an ETA like that so people wont ask :shock:

1 question why is it 2007? or is that a fake eta just to shut people like myself up?

Its 2007 because it will definetly be done by then and to shut people up :evil:

April 12? shouldn't that be April 20? I dunno... but 412 and 420... I know the latter but not the former... wanna clue me in of what the 12th is? 41207... zipcode? ...sounds like the nike comercial or something... /shrug

If you dont mind me asking but what change to make it not work..
the EverQuest.exe or EQgame.exe just asking :)

Razxan, *i think* your thinking too much about this, just a random date he put so people wouldnt keep asking for an ETA

It should be released roughly around December 5th 2150, that way I can be guarenteed to be dead before it's released. :?

EQGame.exe and EQMain.DLL changed.

April 12, 2007 is my birthday. It's your guess as to which one.

You'll be 30?

You mean I have to give a total of $543.90 to Sony before EQEmu will be back up? Sigh..

lol, I love you guys. ;)

Hey, and I've got another idea. (Ya, Bumpo has an idea, be amazed)

Why don't you get several people devoted to backing up their EQ folder every day or something and everytime they have a patch they back up to another folder so that you end up with a record (from now on) of all the patched and unpatched files that can be distributed if needed? I know you've most likely though about this before, or are already doing it, but I just thought it would be a good idea.

Giving out SOE's files is against the law. Most people dont patch to live untill they back up there folder, or dont patch till there told its ok.

Ok, I suspicioned that it was soon after posting.. Thanks.

reason for that date is well I think sony trying scew us making more patches to fuck up everything ;)

Half-Life2 and now Eqemu.......oh well, there's always Hero's Quest.

At least it's coming out before the next Duke Nukem! There's SOMETHING to tide me over.

ROFL Merth, you finaly gave them a release date! I wonder what they are thinking now :P

And wouldn't it be terrible if did something unlawful....?

just my 2 sense on the ETA thing, any moron should know its fake lol, but, if you did it to shut people up, the fac that its over 3 years away would most likely either make people do just that *ask questions* or complain about it : /

And there is any solution like replace the new files with the olders? :?

hero's quest im amazed anyone still remembers that, Prince of Shapeir, and all right?

any ideas on how your going to fix it? :shock:

about how long does this thing usually take?

as long as it takes. they dont give an ETA because they do it in there free time. Merth gave that ETA because of people bugging about how long it takes. How long it takes depends on the Devs real life. they work, go to school, have kids, have a life. when they have time they will fix it.


And befor people flame about how they need to get it done quicker I have a question for you. How much have you pay'd them to do this for you? What have you contributed to the EMU project?

As Mattmeck says, plus it depends what SOE changed in the patch. If they changed encryption mechanisms or something, could take a while. Just have patience :)

sorry if i sounded rude i'm just new here and was wondering how long this kinda thing usually takes. didn't mean to nag[/code][/quote]

lol
 

lol.. you are so lol..

so would it work if i sent my old eqmain.dll and eqgame.exe to this comp and replaced the broken ones? cause i havent ran the patch on my old one cause its a pos

Possibly, but the UI changes may cause problems as well.

but ur saying that it would work but it just would be a little sketchy?

No, I'm saying it could possibly work.

cant you copy the files from the luclin cd or some expansion? or trilogy? ... ugh - this pisses me off because i read the post and a week later i patch! im just like 'idiot!'

Don't ask for warez on these boards. You'll be banned if the moderators deem it necessary. Edit the request out of your text.

horray! my cousin still has the files before oct. 9!

Hey merth i was wondering why it will take soo long to re-patch the eqemu.... I have ALWAYS wanted to play it. Then tonight i download it and followed your instructions on a previous web page and it says "1017 Error" which i know you probably hear alot but is there ANY possible way to fix this??? I BADLY want to play... After saying 1017 again on my 145th try i calming walked down the stairs and beat the living hell out of my punching bag... so please fix it before april 12th... i know it will take time but i BADLY want to play this awesome thing.

I beat heroes quest by getting like 999 daggers and enchanting them with Zap, and my guy was crazy accurate and fast. I also used a lil bug wiht the gold ;)
