I don't see why chase Mysql for each new version they put out. eqemu works fine with older versions that can still be downloaded off there sight.

The solution to this is simple, and I have it posted at my web page - also MySql site does (is where I learned how to correct this).
Quoting myself;
Quote:
-If you see this error (and you probably will) "Failed to connect to database: Error: #1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
Then you need to run this line in a MySQL shell;
SET PASSWORD FOR eq@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('eq');
This enables a "backwards" compatibility for login from the EqEmu program.
-The only other thing I saw, was the new MySQL 5 default installs to c:\program files\mysql\ my old 4.0 was in c:\mysql\ . So , just incase anything was looking for Mysql there , I changed default install to c:\mysql\ .

That's what I use (5x) and have no problems - But I can't afford a big connection for a public server to tell you it works like that too.
