Dragonkurr · #1 08-26-2002, 07:23 AM

Hi all

After countless hours of trying to get ethernalquest to run i finally gave up and decided to come to eqemu only to find the same problem.I downloaded the eq window program and edited my eq host file properly but it still brings up the error 1001 saying "Could not connect to everquest server.Please try again shortly". I'm using windows ME and the free full version of everquest....Can someone please help me out.

What eqhost.txt are you using? you must not be using the right one.

Did you set up an account? And if your running login, are you using eqemu/eqemu for user/pw? Not sure right off hand the address to set up account, that be question for Shawn or one of the other devs, but I bet ya its on this site

I don't play on this emu anymore for now, but I do believe its a bug. Are you running version 3.4 or 3.5? If you are using 3.4, I would recommend 3.5 beta5, which is located here: http://eqemu.sourceforge.net/downloads/

If thats the one your having troubles on, then switch to 3.4.

Is there anything i need to do to besides edit my eqhost.txt....I downloaded version 3.5 and still got the same problem.If you could please reply it would be appreciated....i'm not getting any sleep :/

Are you running a server? Or joining a server?

If you are running a server, there is a TON more to do.
If you are joining a server, then its the servers problem, not yours

Off to bed for me, hope you get it figured out!

nooooooooo....DID YOU HAVE TO MENTION SLEEEEEEEEP......

Actually i'm just trying to play on a server not create one. Like.....I still get that bug even though i d/l 3.5 but i might have still not done something......Put it this way.....I need to know what to do besides just editing my eqhost.txt and playing in that eq window program. How does eq reconize i'm using 3.5 of the emulator??....
Now ahm friggin desperate to play lol....

I don't believe you need the emu to play on a server, you only need it if you want to create a server. So all you need to do is change eqhost.txt and log on with the user/pw you created. If you crash on one server, try another. Usually green named servers run pretty well.

I tried to play on about 7 different servers......Wtv......I'm gonna keep trying hopefully i'll be sucessfull and i can start playing.

Hardy · #12 08-27-2002, 03:52 AM

I am not sure what would be wrong, I can't get on the emu to check, no EQ installed :( One thing though, did you run the patch update for EQ? You need the current patch unless otherwise stated on the forums, which I haven't seen any patch warnings, so it should be fine to update EQ. Hope this helps.
If you don't have the new UI in, try putting that in

Dragonkurr · #13 08-27-2002, 04:05 AM

Well i have the latest patch....but i'm not good with computer freeky deeky language.....Whats a ui?....Thanks.

Hardy · #14 08-27-2002, 09:26 AM

User Interface, EQ got a new one, it should install and tell you how to use it in the news after you download the patch for EQ

Dragonkurr · #15 08-28-2002, 03:07 AM

I'm lost now. I have absolutely no idea why it isnt working. There is one thing that comes to my mind...two actually. When i enter a server a screen pops up saying i am registered to shadows of luclin but no files are detected on my comp....THats one reason it may not be working.....The second is because I'm using the free download version of everquest, the game is full but it isnt the cd version. I'm gonna try to get shadows of luclin...if anything pops up in your head could you please mention it I seriously really wanna play.

thanks
