December 18th Patch

The December 18th Patch Has Broken EQEmu.

This means DO NOT PATCH Without making a backup of your existing EQ Folder.

Is there a place to download the previous patchs? I have a dial up connection and have to reinstall. Any help would be appreciated.

short answer = no

long answer = that would be handing out warz and you even asking the question you did is against the rules and can get you banned

verant is trying to be smart when they first made us confirm that the patch didnt broke eqemu, then right after that they updated with a destroying file so everyone thought it was ok to patch.. i think maybe.. not.. or.. something =)

No, you need to wait until EQEmu catches up with todays patch. This could take a while, just check back every week or so to check on progress.

There is a way to reverse patch, I use WinXp in start/programe/ accessorie/system tools/system restore.

Thanks for warning :D

I have patched forward, but have another computer with the old patch on it still -- does anyone know what files have broken the game, and if I just replace those with the older files would it work? Or anything that anyone else could tell me about getting those to work? Would I have to replace all the files that were updated, or just a couple?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks. =)

Technically, you only have to replace a couple! Finding out which couple won't take you long. Search your everquest folder for any and all files replaced 12/17/03 or 12/18/03. When you have compiled a list, you can replace only those. It's probably faster to replace it all.

I looked at my Everquest.log file and at the bottom it says:

Code:

[19:15:33] -------- CRC Validation ------------------------------

[19:15:33] CRC for eqmain.dll: -1229297779

[19:15:33] CRC for spdat.eff: -1521775102

[19:15:33] CRC for eqtext.txt: 126010213

[19:15:33] CRC for de_eqtext.txt: -1170578037

[19:15:33] Preparing to launch eqgame.exe

[19:15:33] -------- CRC Validation End --------------------------

Would that mean those are the files that were updated?

You should be able to just replace those files with the old ones and have it work

haecz

actually you will need to replace "eqp_config.xml" and "eqp_strings.xml" aswell...
they are important, filled with info about the version
of EQ, so if you do not recover these files, you
will not be able to play.
