Hi,
Dont know if you guys still check this thread,
I've only been playing around for two days but I seem to have stuck the "dreaded 1017 error".
My settings:
Win2k
binaries - 0.4.3
minilogin - 010503
patcher -1.0.1
drawds database - not sure which version latest I could find, 44dr1.zip whichever that was.
I think I must have read all the threads. And have not seen a case described exactly like mine yet.
Like others when I use miniloging, or the eqemu server I can get upto the point of choosing a server. When I choose it it useually gives me the error. But when I have just ran the patcher program I get one chance of playing on a eqemu server. If I quit the eq client then I have to rerun the patcher.
Related to this I think is that sometimes when I run Everquest.exe or eqgame.exe with eqw or just by doubleclicking the icon it crashse instanly. Rerunning the patcher seems to temporarly fix this.
I am not sure under what exact conditions this happens, I need to experiment more. But the way I see it theres 3 possibile causes.
1. Compatablilty issues. Something to do with the server expecting something from the database which I've screwed up. (Doubtfull though as it happens on eqemu servers too.)
2. Something to do with the patching, either the big patch from eqlive or the roolback from eqemu. I would be more inclined to think the rollback like others as, rerunning that fixes it for the eqemu servers(but what about miniloging, nope???).
3. Something to do with my ini files. Like what was suggested about eqhost.txt. - I have experimented with eqhost.txt and doesnt seem to change anything.
Oh, well I'm going start from scratch again tonight and try to fix it. I'll leave a message when I fix it.
