I'm also running win7ult 64 and I have it running but I had to load dx9c first. Once I did that, it all ran fine.

Moved this from news since the sale is over.

Thanks, Cavedude. I will probably make a news post about EQEmu being compatible with SoD again once Rogean gets the Public Login Server working with it. It will basically just be an informational news post to let people know a bit about the expansion and where to get it and such.

I will also make sure to update the install wiki guide to add SoD specific instructions to it once it works with the Public Login Server.

I purchased and downloaded the steam SoD yesterday right before the sale closed but even changing the port number and trying it using 2 different sets of eqhost.txt settings I cant get it to go online. It gives a "cannot connect to server" message

[code:1:fb7b962cbb][LoginServer]
Host=projecteq.net:5999
[/code:1:fb7b962cbb]

or

[LoginServer]
Host=projecteq.net:5999



Ive also set the shortcut for eqgame.exe with the
" patchme statement.

Ive tried with all firewalls disabled and still cant connect.

I am online running SoF client just fine on the same XP machine so I know it has to be something in either my SoD DL or a setting im missing, Any help would be great.

Yeah, I think PEQ is the only current server that people can play on with SoD until Rogean gets the Public LS working with it. It looks like you had the eqhost.txt file set correctly as far as I can tell.

I think PEQ requires that you register your account to be able to log into their secondary private Login Server. Does your SoF install work on their Private LS ok? If so, the eqghost.txt file for SoD should be exactly the same as the one you have on SoF, accept the port should be 5999 instead of 5998.

I use the EQemu login on SoF. But no I hadnt claimed on the PEQ. I claimed my account and attempted the login again, now its giving a "timed out" message. I checked my EQhost file and its changed to the following on its own....

[LoginServer] ]
Host=projecteq.net:5999

[LoginServer]
Host=xp-smitchell:7308
Host1=

This is what you want it set to:

[LoginServer]
Host=projecteq.net:5999

Try using it on your SoF install and if it works there, then it should work for SoD as well. If it still doesn't work on SoD, then maybe you patched SoD by mistake after you downloaded it from Steam.

Make sure you use the exact text I have in that code box above though. All of the other examples you have tried so far have not been exactly accurate. Also, make sure that the shortcut you created is for the eqgame.exe not the everquest.exe file.
