Client crash every time i log in.....
 

Ok, i get to the Login screen, type the username : password in, and *Dong* Client has crashed. Any suggestions?

*Edit: Not EQW and the my Current version of EQ works perfectly normally on Live*

*Edit #2:
My eqhost.txt is formetted the same as the guide at home-page.[/quote]

Same here. Getting the same problem.

Try setting eqhost to this:

Also make sure there are no spaces at the end of the lines..

I found the problem. All you need to do is erase everything in EQhost.txt in your directory and put the information back in. MAKE SURE IT'S READ ONLY! or it will put a different server, it should work.

there is no need to make eqhost.txt read only !
Create a shortcut of eqgame.exe , rightclick -> properties -> target
add patchme at the and

No it has to be read only because the game will try to change it now as well as the patcher. Because if the game finds anything different with the file it will rewrite it to point to Sony again ebcause they only want you to play there.

Really ?? Wow .. Sony suck

I believe that has been established many times, long ago, when they made the EULA clause that says you can't play on Emu servers or they will ban you from live.

I knew someone would quote me on that :wink:

Anywho , I'm off to go mourn over my problem some more .. and to stop hi jacking this thread

Good luck with your problem

OK i changed my eqhost to read only, and edited to what the person wrote above, and i am still crashing whether i use EQgame with the patchme or EQW. Anyone know what i should do?

I was having the same problem with my eqw. I would enter pw/login and then an error would occur and eq would have to close. However, after doing what Vakir suggested, I was able to get to the server selection (but no further).

Solution:

Main site says:

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995

Should be:

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995

Spoted it yet? Its the sneaky little ' ' (space) after the '[LoginServer]', all i did was deleted it, and viola, one fixed thingy-ma-jig

Actually if you copy and paste both of those you will end up with both of them having a space at the end because of how the forum saves it and how your browser saves it. Thats why the tutorial also says to copy then remove spaces at the ends of the lines.

I have tried everything on this thread so far and I've traced my steps back through the setup process to make sure everything is right, and still once I enter my user and pass and click "login" the program exits to desktop. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm also having this problem, and I've followed all of the instructions exactly.

My EQhost.txt file is read only and contains
with absolutely no spaces after anything.

EDIT: Everything is working fine now. It seems that all you need in the EQhost.txt file is

Exactly as you see it, with no space after the [LoginServer]. Hopefully that'll help with your problem as well.
