GeForce 8800 GTS, latest drivers + directx, Intel 2.4 dual core, 2 gigs ram.

Thanks!

Wow! I was getting the same thing in my distribution folder. This is what I get for refactoring. For everyone who is having this problem, do the following:

RENAME S3DArchiveLoader.dll to S3DReader.dll

That's it. At one point I decided to change the name, and apparently I forgot to change it in the distribution folder. I'll update the archive and the link at the top post sometime tonight, but that should get you all going.

For those of you who want the server source, the top download link has been updated. It should have all you need. And if anyone is interested in the bugfixes I've made to it, you should diff it with the plain-vanilla 0.5.5 source. There are some fixes to some rather nasty netcode bugs that are present in several server versions.

For those of you who get SC running, please post pics! I'd love to see how you fare.

I'd like to see a screenshot from someone not running Vista. I know that Vista had problems with my GUI overlays from people testing the beta and I never figured it out.

heres a screenshot from another machine of mine i tried it on.. www.nugblazers.com/images/SC_er2.jpg .. cant really see anything except boxes like those it doesnt say SimpleClient when its loading in the beginninig just has the box with the backround.. same with the user login part cant even see where to type or buttons. when i resized the box, to really small, i saw the 'you must enter username and password' let me kno watcha think
(i use XP not vista, on either of my screenshots)

I had no problems getting SC to work in XP, but I just can't get the server you sent up and running, of course its most likely something I did, or didn't do, but Thanks for SC Wind.

Simple Client Startup

Login

Server Select

What happens when you try to get the server running? Can you post the server config files? EQEmu 0.5.5 is very easy to set up.
