Another patch another crash. Unable to get passed the launcher I get a gui error or something.

Any solution? Using a wineskin and I have no idea how this all works.

Exact error upon launching of the wineskin is: Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt

I'm having the same issue on Mac after downloading P99Files46 and adding to the EQ directory.

Exact error message shows:

Error in XML
Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt

The UIErrors.txt reads as such:

UIErrorLog created at Sun Feb 10 09:36:08 2019
[Sun Feb 10 09:36:08 2019] Warning: file EQLSUI.xml not found in directory UIFiles\default\. Attempting to use file from Default skin.

Ok this is what worked.

I reinstalled the game fresh. And one by one re copied every patch file one by one. The ones in folders I went in each and copied the content of it instead of the whole folder. Worked first time.

Did you delete your EQ files first then reinstall fresh? Its been so long since i installed this I don't remember what steps i took lol

Yup i installed the package from Vile in another thread or this one can’t remember

What directory do these files go to on Mac?

I had this problem, too. Basically, we all nuked the contents of our existing ui/default directory.

I believe that, on a Mac, when you drag a source directory to an existing target directory the system effectively deletes the target directory and then copies over the source directory.

This is different from a Windows machine. In Windows, when you copy a source directory to an existing target directory, the system ADDS the source directory's files to the target directory, prompting to replace / skip / etc any existing files, but keeping any files that were already there.

I fixed my install by finding the original ui/default files and copying the new files over correctly, then I copied the patch's files over rather than the directory. The game works correctly for me now.

SOLUTION
1. Download the default game UI files. You can get the link a .zip of these files in this post: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...70&postcount=5

2. Unzip these default UI files. The files will unzip into a default directory.

3. Copy the files in this default directory to your game's ui/default directory.

4. Go back to the new patch files that you previously downloaded and find the ui/default directory within. Select all the files in that directory.

5. Copy them by going to File >> Copy x items located in Finder's top menu.

6. Go to your game's ui/default directory and paste them there, overwriting as needed.

This worked for me, thanks!

Download the V45 files from Vile at page 47 or something and do this.

Cheers!

Because you are all owning the game, here is the linkg
