Before everyone chews my head off and regurgitates it back onto my shoulders....I have thouroughly read miles of threads before posting this. I've been looking through the Emu forums for three days now and though alot of my concerns were mentioned, they weren't explained and some of my problems aren't mentioned anywhere.
First of all, I just put ever quest on a brand new computer so of course when I patched I got the most recent version. And before anyone tries to kill me for patching, I followed the instructions to the letter, which included PATCH FROM EQLIVE SERVER. So I guess I need to find someway to get the older version? Or is this being worked on so that the newer version will be supported?
Also, in the very first instructions right
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15182 there, it says to alter the 'DataRate.txt' file...I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't have anything by that name.
I have created a login account and at the moment whenever I try to login I crash to desktop, and yes I have read about this problem in the thread listed above. I have dx 9b. I have latest drivers. I'm on win 2000 prof. I'm on broadband cable. I'd reinstal EverQuest but I can't find it..*lmao* and I was hoping there was a less painful solution. Also, I can't test playing on a live server because for some reason EQ has stopped my account. Soooooooo.........I think that's about the extent of it. Any suggestions? =)
