weird
 

weird you say their screw'd ....... i patch every day and yet the game still works fine for me both emu and live.... sept i cannot connect to the scorpious2k server because its old dr4 :P

That was so funny, I didn't think I was going to stop laffing...

Drag

I dunno if you would be laughing if your eq client fuxord up for no reason... but hey mine did, i patched each day and when i started to recreate my character that window where you create them was really messed up... a wipe of the entire games files and an uninstall, then 2hrs of live updating (slow connection today stupid isp) fixed it all...

Im going to pay more attention to these forums, for next time I wont go through that bs again for a game. I dont give 2 shits what game it is.

crazy
 

that's crazy that you'd laugh at people for not being able to connect, i've never played everquest before, and someone told me there was a good emulator for it so i got the cd, installed it, and followed the directions EXACTLY by the guide in this forum. It says and i quote "Run the normal Everquest patcher to bring your files up to date" well i did, i try connecting It wouldn't work, it freezes at the logging on screen, like everyone else that "Ran the normal Everquest patcher to bring your files up to date" after june 22nd.

So, why is it that you're going laugh at people for doing exactly what the guide says to do? so now that i've patched to live i'm officially fucked now until there's a fix for it? is there any way to do a fresh install of eq and be able to connect and play?

Theres nothing different that you could have done. Basically when ever a new patch comes out if you haven't installed and patched before then you are damned if you patch and damned if you don't. Fresh installs cover a wide range of patches based on when the CD was made and there is no server code compatible with any of them. So you have to patch but you have to wait for the patch to become supported. Which is why we tell newbies in the guides to patch as part of the set up because they have to, but then we tell everyone not to ever patch again until they hear that it is ok. But of course tons of people ignore or forget that part adn keep patching all the time and screw themselves.

ok well thanks for taking the time to clear that up for me, guess i'll try again later when they have a fix for it, thanks again.

I too am an emu newbie and anxiously awaiting the support for the 6/22 patch. I haven't played EQ in 1-2 years and i kind of miss it. I can wait a little longer though :)

But i was curious also on how long it has taken to resolve these issues in the past?

I've been checking the dev forums and i haven't see much activity there regarding this so i am trying not to get my hopes up :?

All you need is....
 

All you have to do is get the eqmain.dll file from the BACKED UP Everquest directory and copy/paste it to your EQEMu Everquest directory.

I patched all the way through the 22nd, copied/pasted the dll file, then adjusted my eqhost.txt file and bingo... I was playing on a Semi-Legit server.

It doesn't work in every case. I obtained a copy of that file and it did not work for me.

Based on the patches I've seen before there really is no way to tell how long it will take to be supported. In the past it has been anywhere from a couple hours for really simple patches to over a month when GoD came out. We don't even know yet how much became broken and we don't know how much free time the devs have. And the dev forums on here aren't what the devs use for stuff like this, they are mostly used for nondevs to post code changes and for the dev to post stuff they have finished. The boards they use for actually fixing stuff like this are private and only devs can see them or post to them.
