Unable to Launch
 

Typically I run p99 from my Win 7 desktop; however, I recently attempted to move it to my Win 10 laptop so that I could play when I do not have access to my desktop, which is somewhat frequently.
I copied my game files to a usb drive, and moved them over to my laptop, as well as downloading the latest files from the p99 website to make sure my stuff was up to date (the version on my usb drive was an older one, and spell files were out of date, etc).
However, my laptop will simply not launch the game. Any time I try, cmd prompt flashes briefly showing the path to the file, then immediately closes and nothing else happens. I have spent a fair amount of time on Google trying to solve my issue and tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to get the game running.
Any ideas are welcome, and I can provide information as needed. Thanks in advance for your help!

In what directory did you place your EQ files? How are you trying to launch the game, with the Launch Titanium.bat file? Have you tried making your own shortcut?

My game is placed directly on my C:\ drive (outside of program files). I have tried launching directly from the Launch Titanium.bat file located in my folder, and I've tried making shortcuts targeting the path with "patchme" added at the end, but none of those have worked. I've also manually edited my batch file to add 'cd "C:\EverQuest"' before 'start eqgame patchme', and nothing changed.

I assume your manually made shortcut looks something like this:

when it launches, do you see any activity? If you open task manager do you see the eqgame.exe (32 bit) process running at all?

Does anything change if you right click the shortcut and run as administrator?

Yep, that's what the manual shortcuts look like. No processes running that I have seen. I just get a flash of the command prompt window, if anything. There was a point during my troubleshooting where trying to run as admin gave an error with the cmd prompt saying it couldn't find the eqgame.exe file, but I do not believe it is still doing that (cannot remember what I did to change/fix that, as I have been doing a lot to try and fix this).

Did you have an antivirus quarantine p99, perhaps?

It doesn't appear so. I've checked to make sure the program isn't blocked somehow, made sure nothing was quarantined or removed, and then whitelisted the game just to be safe.

SOLVED (sorta):

Instead of moving the game from a USB to the laptop, I completely reinstalled EQ Titanium onto the machine. This fixed the issue, whatever it was.
