Problem whit patching

[Jimpan]

when i Login whit my user and pick's a Server it says

Error 1017: Cannnot login to the Everquest server.
You may need to re-run the Uppdate patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary

If you did not make a backup of the EQ files before you patched, there is absolutely nothing you can do.. reinstalling wont work, patching wont work, getting on your hands and knees and praying will not work.


god himself could not get EQEmu working after you patch (god leaves it up to the devs).

no ETA on 0.4.2

i have the same bloody prblem too. I am new to this and cant even play it. What i dont get is why you dont just put the current emu patch into a zip file and post it on your site to download.

it cant be too much of a hassle can it?

[Shawn319]

Because it is not our software to give out. if you want this software, you should call sony.

[bigfootbob]

ahhh man. it was worth askin i guess.
u r probably sick of this question but whats the estiamted amount of time you'll get the next patch done?

4 months

As he logs in with his favorite character, he reflects back when he was new to the EMu. He recalls how frustrating it was to get the latest patch, only to find out it broke his beloved EMU. He summons another Heniken from the fridge.

"It's part of the learning curve," he laments to himself as he swiftly deals with the Priest of Discord in Rivervale. "I guess it can never be stressed enough, DON'T patch until the Dev's say it is ok." As he wanders through the Common Lands looking for someone to share the adventure with, he understands how accidents happen and the patch is inadvertantly downloaded. It's happened to him before, and it probably will again.

Jeez, it's gonna be awefully quiet until the dev's get the EMU fixed.
