Error 1017

[punkrawq]

Howdy all,

Just wondering why I might be getting this error, login bad?
It keeps saying that I need to Re-Run Patcher, and that patcher server is not responding. I know that EQ Live is down right now, would this be a factor into my problem? Just wondering.

Thanks for your time.

If you see a post asking for help with the 1017 error message, it's very likely the person did not read this message. Just point them to the news section!

The official ETA for this fix is April 12, 2007. Hopefully things will go well and we can surprise you with an early release!

If you missed the the warning not to patch, there may still be hope left. The conditions are:

A) Your windows edition has the option for a "System Restore"

B) You haven't installed anything on your computer recently that you must have/simply can't get again.

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!

I wonder, if I reinstall EQ and don't patch to the eqlive specs is that going to fix it?

no cause then you will ether have no patches or be batched to live. EQEMU is currently running on the patch befor this last one.

finally, this topic answered all my questions

:( so if I had the earlier patch, 4.4, i would be able to play, but since im new I can't play till the EQEmu updates to the latest patch? Confirm?
