But really, what do the logs and console say?

Pretty new to this, and truthfully just followed the beginners guide but I'll do my best to answer.

Of the four command windows open, none is showing any errors other than nonstop saying "Failed to save eqtime".

Also, the guide mentions one of those windows should be called eqlaunch.exe, but I don't see that one. Instead, I have one that is simply called 7004:sleeping.

If there are some other crash logs I can report, please let me know! I'll be fast to respond

You're missing database updates. Please use Akkadius's tool or apply them manually.

Hmmm, I see his repack (which I didn't know existed... seems a lot easier than what I did), am I missing something else?

I could just start from scratch and use his repack but I wouldn't want the things I've already done to interfere with it. Wish I'd seen that to begin with

Edit: I think I understand how to manually update the database, I'll try that. (Option 3 in the world.exe startup menu I think... I'll give it a shot!)

Sorry, I'm sleeping at the keyboard. I should have been more specific. I'm referring to his database update tool. It'll automatically run when you start the server. I can't tell you more about it because I have it removed. It will go through and apply any missing updates automagically. In fact, mash your face on the keyboard and grab everything from it (latest opcodes too)--it's amazing!

Well, I attempted to manually update the database and I get a MASSIVE string of "the system cannot find the path specified" when it pulls each missing update (which you were right, there was a ton of them). As new as I am, I have no idea where I might have went wrong. :/
