Interesting development on the eqw versus eqgame patchme iss

[Trumpcard]

I was prowling on Ashran's forums and noticed that people over there were running into the same problem. Well, someone posted something that fixed my issue, it seems to be related to Windows XP/2000.

My 2 windows boxes are running 2000 and XP. I had the same issue on both machines..

EQW2.2 was working just fine, but eqgame patchme was bombing out before the character select screen.

Now, when I type
eqgame.exe patchme , low and behold, it works like a charm..


So, for all of you eqgame patchme error 1017 sufferers, give that a shot and see if it cures your ails as it did mine..
Just append the .exe onto eqgame....
