The above suggestions have all been done. As for the eqhost.ini... I believe my post said eqhost.txt I don't even know what a .ini is *-P

C:Program Files\Everquest\

Not

C:Program Files\Sony\Everquest\

??

I tried to take the sony out of it but I get an error ...

Not Valid make sure that the folder exists and that the path is correct.

Default Target error

I've attempted to put

"C:\Program Files\Sony\Emulator\Eqgame.exe" patchme

In the target box but everytime I try to apply I get this message

Invalid make sure the path and file name are correct.

Default Narrowed it down

It seems in that Target sentence

"C:\Program Files\Sony\Emulator\Eqgame.exe" patchme

The only problem it has is changing "Everquest" to "Emulator".

Start in: "C:\Program Files\EverQuest\"

Target: "C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

I've tried these both, but I get errors when I take out the word "Sony". Is there something I'm missing? Or are these extensions incorrect?

Did you change your Everquest directory name to "Emulator"? If you didn't then there is no reason to try setting that name in the target. The target should be whatever directory you are wanting to run the eqgame.exe from. If you have a directory specifically setup for the emulator and you named it "Emulator", then you have to edit the eqhost.txt file THERE.

This process is pretty straight forward and simple. If you installed Everquest Titanium to the defaut directory, it should either be:

C:Program Files\Everquest\

OR

C:Program Files\Sony\Everquest\

That is what you would set in the shortcut for the "start in:" directory. The most important part of the short cut is that you set the target file as:

"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

OR

"C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

Try this:

Click Start
Click Search
Click For Files or Folders
In the search field, type: eqhost.txt
Click Search Now

(These directions may be slightly different depending on which version of Windows you are running. Just find the file search and search it.)

Let it search and then post here with every directory name that it finds that file in. Then repeat the process for the eqgame.exe file and post those directories here. This will tell us exactly where you have this installed and if you have more than 1 installation of your EQ directory. Once we have that, it will be easier to tell you exactly what to do.

just go to your EQ directory, right click on eqgame then select send to desktop (create shortcut)

then right click on the shortcut on your desktop and add a patchme to the end of it.

Mattmeck I tried your suggestion- and I still get the host error from the log in screen

I have copied the search result as instructed and here is what was found.

eqhost.txt C:Program Files\Sony\Everquest 1kb


So is that correct then?

Thats correct, only other question I can think to ask is.

You installed right off the titanium disks right? You didnt download, or use a diferent version?

C:Program Files\Sony\Everquest
