New Files

[DarthPeon]

So how do you fix the problem if you unzipped the entire thing in your everquest folder?

I prompted it to rewrite the old and dll, all of it. Now crashing continuously as i tried to zone into feerott

I cannot create a new toon and enter the game. It keeps trying to send me to a tutorial zone and then pops up an error that the zone is not available.

[Eldaran]

so copy everything but the last 2 old files?

If you just dropped it all in then it shouldn't cause problems, but you can always delete the "old" folder I guess. Otherwise just extract dbstr_us, spells_us, dsetup.dll and the global load file (in the resources folder)

Edit: May not want to take my advice, I extracted everything perfectly but still crash every time I attempt to log in.

Can't join the game with my characters in Upper Guk and Innothule. Client crashes everytime. My character in East Commonlands works, though...

Here's where I'm at:

Extracted files manually, logged into PVP beta, selected character logged out in Ocean of Tears, client crashes with do you want to report message.

Patched EQEmuLauncher with PVP beta selected, selected character logged out in Ocean of Tears, client crashes with do you want to report message.

Patched EQEmuLauncher with P99 selected (logged into PVP beta), selected character logged out in Ocean of Tears, client crashes with do you want to report message.

<Rogean> then see if you can log in

Created level 1 Ogre Shadow Knight on PVP beta, client crashes with do you want to report message. (should rule out ui file issues)

Ya same, still crashing. Though some people in certain zones can relog in from an alt once, however when they attempt to zone they will get the issue as well.

Would like to note that this is also on the Beta R99 server.

It has everything to do with it. The ''old'' folder isn't supposed to be in the new patch file so you obviously extracted the ''old'' folder into your existing EQ folder along with the rest of the patch. You wouldn't be having this problem otherwise.

They extract as a separate folder with the old versions of the dll and the spells file. The new V16 counterparts are included in the patch and extracted directly into the Everquest directory, doing their job. Having the old ones in a folder by themselves does nothing at all. It's like backing up your UI files or something. You can delete them and nothing happens, nor does it fix the problem. It's just a backup of the old files and they don't do anything as long as they're in a separate folder, no matter where that folder is. It has nothing to do with the crash problem.

Crashing here as well when attempting to enter world from character select.
