{SOLVED} XP users, listen up
 

Okay, what I'm understanding is that, if you're using WinXP, you're screwed. To me, this sucks hairy balls, and you guys are losin lots of ppl with new comps. I ain't gonna install a new windows just to play this. This is Bullshit. I need an answer, and I need it now.

I think I went a lil far... Ahem... :oops:

Eh... What I mean to say is, I think it's not right that XP players can't play. It sucks ASS!!!! I just wanna know if there is a solve... :twisted:

im win xp user, i can log on emu server. whichone u stuck on?

We were wrong assuming it was Win XP. More people who use it have problems. So, what's the problem now?

And anyway, why do we need people with new comps?? We need more developers.

Yeah, yeah
 

The problem is, most NEW computers have XP installed. But, since you say that that's not the problem, then I don't know what is. I'm getting 1017, and I dunno why. Don't gimme mumbo-jumbo about looking at all the posts. I have. First thing I did. I just don't understand. I know I prolly sound like a pain in the ass, but I really wanna use this. I think it's really cool, but I just can't friggin figure it out! :( :worship:

You read the forums? So you've run patcher... and? Give us the details of your problem.

Oh, and demands get you less help than sweet, sweet lovin's.

Don't you dare say it don't work with XP! hehe, I am going with XP in less than a month :?

U ran EQLive patcher and then Emu patcher?

*edit* WOOT! I got 4 colored butts now! Sorry, just celebrating my 700th post :P

Okay, sorry about demands... Heh, I just have this fuse that burns whenever I get angry... And I'm not angry at anyone but my STUPID TOASTER THAT SCREWED MY BREAD!!! AGGHHH!!!



Riiight.... anyway....

Okay, I run EQ patcher, don't have any new files, change EQHost, then get into server screen, about to load the server, then I get 1017.... It royally pisses me off. I wanna play sooooooo bad!!! >.< :evil:

Did you try a few other servers? Some players seem to get 1017 when they try to get on my server (my computer sucks, hehe), yet they can still get on other servers.

Wait, EQLive? What the heck is that??? :oops:

Oh, yeah, I tried ALL servers... I wanted to try FH, but it was down...

EQLive is Sony's Servers. Run the Patcher that comes with EverQuest to update your EQ to current, then run the emu patcher. I believe its eqgame.exe or everquest.exe, one of em :P

Okay, Okay, wait. I know about Sony's patcher, but there's an EMU PATCHER as well???? Where do I get this?

Don't make fun of me.... I am the poster child for CADD (Cyber Attention Dephisate Disorder)

Install it into your EQ directory that you use for Emu. If you happen to play on Sony's Servers as well, I would highly recommend making 2 EQ folders, 1 for emu and 1 for sony's.

I do have 2 folders... So this Emu patcher, what does it do?

Says goodbye to the 1017 error. Sony's patched messed up the emu, the emu currently does not work with the new LoY expansion, nor a few patches. This will get you the correct files so you can play on the emu. For once, you don't have to blame windows, lol.
