No complaints here. I'm grateful the emulator is still being worked on. An amazing emulator for an amazing game. Much thanks to all involved.

It will probably get updated soon so the following will be useless after that:

I was able to get it working with URLs pointing to the last known stable version. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing:

For a new install on Windows:

In the extracted "eqemu_installer_files_x64.zip" files:
1. Create an empty file called "eqemu_server_skip_update.txt"
2. In the "eqemu_install.bat" file, comment out line 88 like this:

echo C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe eqemu_server.pl new_server

3. Execute the "eqemu_install.bat" with admin privileges.
4. Edit the "eqemu_server.pl" file to replace "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQEmu/Server/master/" with "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQEmu/Server/65704274cbddd135dd815eb1c2f2f8f061f790b8/"
5. Also replace "https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/KimLS/server-pglwk/artifacts/build_x64.zip" with "https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/fb0tl74oqx2e7jg1/artifacts/build_x64.zip"
6. From an admin command prompt in the same directory as the "eqemu_server.pl" file, run the following command:

C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe eqemu_server.pl new_server

The script should run normally from here on out, assuming everything else ran properly. Fyi, I'm new to this EqEmu project, so don't expect much help from me with anything else.

If anyone wants to know where I pulled the historical URLs:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/KimL...-pglwk/history

Thanks Delerisk. That worked like a charm. As a non programmer I have to ask. Do I change the value back when the new patch is release?

Just delete the "eqemu_server_skip_update.txt" file and the "eqemu_server.pl" script will automatically update itself on next run. This will revert your changes to that script.

In case anyone wanted the historical link for the bots binaries, replace "https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/KimLS/server-87crp/artifacts/build_x64.zip" with "https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/7yl88dfn4y03fn0l/artifacts/build_x64.zip" in the "eqemu_server.pl" file.
