Alright, I have the new EQ patch but I backed up my latest folder just in case... the problem is I don't know which version was in the old folder. Im pretty sure its in the vacinity of the 9-24-02 update, but I downloaded from 3.10 ( The newest version I believe ) down to 3.4 and 3.4 allowed me to not only log in, but I didn't receive the *1017 Unable to join game* error when I hit Play. So I got to the character creation area, and no matter what character I make it crashes out to the world select screen before I even make it in. So I exit out and read one of the DOS which loaded the zone up and it reads as such:
Map: Maps\grobb.map not found.
ZoneID = 52
Reading zhdr file './cfg/grobb.cfg'
Zone safe coords are x = 0; y = -100; z = 5

Im running on Windows XP... Should I go up or down a few Emu generations (im not exactly sure which version of EQ i have, but its the one with Luclin in the background so that has to be good

I never have used the EQAdmin.exe tool either, but I seen where someone else used it and it "somehow" fixed his problem...btw my boot5zones looks like this:
@echo off
start zoneNT . 157.182.***.** 7995 157.182.***.**
start zoneNT . 157.182.***.** 7996 157.182.***.**
start zoneNT . 157.182.***.** 7997 157.182.***.**
start zoneNT . 157.182.***.** 7998 157.182.***.**
start zoneNT . 157.182.***.** 7999 157.182.***.**
exit
cls
Everything else is OK... just curious on why I cant zone in!
Any help would be great, thanks alot
