A Few Things
 

Ok i just need some help logining in. If anyone who is using xp tell me what ti type in on RUN to get it running right i type in

C:\PROGRA~1\EVERQU~1\eqgame.exe patchme
I have installed all updates and i end up with the old everquest login background and this is why i think i am getting the host error. And i cant use the old way of C:\Program Files...etc
to login becasue it does not work on xp can someone please help me on this.

Hi there,
 

i know i get the 1017 error code when i try to use the "Patchme" way to get in.... but if i use EQW to enter i get in ok... i think you can download it from this site

*cough* EQW





If you are going to use patchme just right click eqgame.exe and click Create Shortcut, then open the shortcut properties and add patchme in the line.

I have tryed EQW before and it does not work.

It works fine if you want it to.. try changing your desktop Color setting to 16bit.

I get to the login screen with it just like when i use the login way but then i change the eqhost file and then i end up with it saying it cant find the eqhost file. Think i should just go back to 98 got it working fine on that. Thx for helping shawn

Update patch
 

The only time i have recieved the eqhost file not found is when i tried to connect without ever patching to the current version.

Your right got it working now but i am sure on windows 98 i could log on without patching it.:D

the patch
 

Installed of the CD without patching at least one time i always get the eqhost file not found error. I have tried with the Orginal CD and the Kunark CD. Almost like they planned it that way. Might just be my system though. I dont have another one to test on.

You have to patch to the current version of EQ using the patcher. it doesnt care if your on Windows 1492.
