Uh... Ok well. You DO realize you are using the contents of Loginserver.INI as your eqhost.txt....Loginserver.ini and eqhost.txt are 2 completely different things... Loginserver.ini is used ONLY when hosting, eqhost.txt simply tells your eq client (Eqgame.exe) what server to connect to.
If you are trying to play on 5.8 servers, your eqhost.txt SHOULD BE:
Code:
[Loginserver]
eqemulator.net:5996
If you are trying to play on 5.7 servers, your eqhost.txt SHOULD BE:
Code:
[Loginserver]
eqemulator.net:5995
Also...what weird error does it give you when trying to run your shortcut with patchme added to the target line? By saying "some weird error", we cant read your mind and guess what error you are getting, so please post more info about that error.
