All files OK for EQEmu!

so wtf is going on here?

I know this one! Uninstall eqpatcher and reinstall it. When it asks for the folder to install to, browse to the everquest directory with eqgame.exe in it.

Your eqpatcher is in the wrong folder.

Where can i find the file eqpatcher i searched for all files and found nothing

Updated sig; see sig.

a_Guest3, in french, we'll call you : "L'homme orchestre" or "l'homme outil"

cant translate those expressions, sorry :(

Am I insulted or pleased? I don't know any french, because I'm stupid. :oops:

He called you the 'tool man'

OR was it just a tool...

orchestre is a cognate, it means orchestra, though I'm not sure what an orchestra man is.. (visions of elton john in his star glasses come to mind)

homme orchestre is a guy, wearing all kind of music instruments at once and playing them all at the same time

i think the tool man is more accurate here :)

I understand, then. Thanks! I saw orchestra, but I thought man who orchestrates... Director?

OMG i love you a_guest03...

Ive been trying to get this damn thing to work for ages and this finally made it work

hehe, thanks - glad it helped.

I have the same problem and the eqemu is installed in the correct folder.

Double check. If you're sure it's in the right folder, patch eqlive then patch eqemu again

This fix has been removed from my sig. I don't suspect it will work ever again. 1017 and patcher fixes are null and void. Do not download warez fixes. That is your warning.
