C) You can follow some simple directions

If any of the above are stopping you, I apologize for wasting your time. HOWEVER, if they are not, listen up.

Go into your Start Menu. Go to your "Programs Folder>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore. Once System Restore is opened, make sure "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is selected and click Next. Scan the convenient calender to a date before the patch, closest to today. (Luckily EQ hasn't been patched in a while.) Pick your date, click Next, Next, and you're home free. It'll restore to your chosen date, and restart your computer for you. Feels just like time-travel.

Also, at any point that you are unhappy with your system restoration, you may enter the program once again, and undo the restore. Yes, computers are THAT user friendly. Hope this helps at least one person! Toodles!

doesnt work m8 i did it only possible way to roll back is with warez which i believe has been said to be illegal so ur sol bud sorry cause system restore doesnt restore everything just the main files not every file if it did it would take about 5 hours to do atleast on my comp

is there any news as far as when this issue will be solve i am new to the EQemu so when i installed everquest it autopatched itself when i came here i saw that you shouldn't patch or it won't ork but mine was already patched are you guys working on it or just let us suffer a bit for not getting enought information before doing anything?

read the news section you will get any answers you need there. This question has been asked a lot on this forum, try not to repost questions already answered, and Rule #1 here is Dont ask for an ETA.

I didn't know EQemu was illegal. Please help me return my files to the way they were before... i don't want to get banned from EQ! i love it soooooo much!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!

it's not... sony owns the program (which you bought) and they own the server you play on (which you aren't using) so we set up our own server (which they have no influence over) and don't charge for it... they can't do anything... the people who wrote the emulator own the emulator-- sony didn't write it-- sony doesn't own it. they aren't banning you because it's illegal... they're banning you because it cuts into their profits![/quote]

1st time since registering/playing that I'm now getting 1017. Had a fatal HD error, reformatted, reinstalled OS/DX as well as EQ etc. Patched to live, changed the host file contents, 1017'd, did a search, followed the directions and still 1017.

Anyone have any out of the norm tips/hints?
