patcher fix - Page 3

Can anyone tell me what I need to type under eqw to get it to run eqemu instead of normal eq? My eqemu patch file that I usualy log on with is under C:Program Files\Hoverquest. I tried Typing that then eqgame after it, still runs normal eq. What do I do?

When I browse under my EQEmu seperate EQ folder under EQW2.32 there is "Eqgame" "Everquest" "Testeqgame" Testeverquest" and Eqgame & Everquest both load normal EQ. But these are all in the same folder as where the "Patch" icon is located when I open the folder up normaly, which is how I usualy log on to EQEmu.

Actualy the mouse freezes when I try to load those, so I assume its trying to load normal EQ since its the older version of EQW and thats what they usualy do. Can't get it to go to the right path for Eqemu.

??

All that jive totally worked for me. Yeah I can play without the patcher.

So its impossible for new people to join now? I was hoping to get some of my friends to play, but how can they update their files if the patcher is down?

Thanks

When I type in C:\Program Files\Hoverquest\eqgame.exe the mouse is frozen at eula, so I hit Alt+F4 and then I can get to login screen then the keyboard doesnt work and I can't type in my PW to login, so Im thinking its trying to load normal EQ.

Anyone help?

Hmm software that cant be distributed and games that cant be joined seem to be of limited value. Or perhaps the scarecity makes them PRICELES?!?!?!?!? Moahahaha

When following the instructions Talon posted, while updating, do I need to download the extra packages (ie. LoY, Everquest Legends, Optional Zones)

I value my precious 56k of bandwidth

I prolly sound like the biggest n00b asking this, but hey- I am one

the patch server for EQEMU is down for now, possibly indefinitely...

1017 error after following Talon's instructions :cry:

Where do you get this crap from? no one ever said the patch server will be down indefinitely. it WILL be back you just have to give hogie time to code it up.

I wish everyone would just shut up and WAIT.

Make it so users have to host them off their own ftps.. that way they can get sue'd by sony, they can hold all the bandwidth, and make custom patches for their server.

That would still be against the rules.. if we dont give it out, no one will. =P
