EQ emu launcher working?

[Alkeline]

My eq emu launcher has just been saying "could not reach webserver. Trying again in 10 seconds." can i resolve this or is there issues going on right now? any thoughts?

[56nodnarb]

me too >.<

[Alkeline]

well that makes me feel a little better im not the only one

[baglund]

Same for me, is there any way to start the game without it? Tried everquest.exe and eqgame.exe and that didnt work :(

[Amirite]

use wineq

Waiting on a fix as well. Nothing on the EQEmu site even mentions it. Anyone know how to contact their admin? I'm sure it just needs a quick reset but no one over there seems to be aware. Is there a version of winEQ that doesn't need a service fee? I can't seem to find one.

Why do these things always happen on weekends?

[Flipsyo]

Maybe because the admin is out doing things on his weekend :P

[Amirite]

wineq is free, you just need to register a login,

you could just create a bat file to load eq too..

[Seneal]

Well good to know about the winEQ at least. I thought when it asked for account that pretty much meant go pay.

Can't argue with that. But this is forcing me to be responsible today which is a bummer.

[smoflow]

Will someone explain the bat file thing

Wineq winning

[Alkeline]

i got wineq but it doesnt have anything in the preferences which is what it says to use to connect

Also currently experiencing this issue. Says servers are up though. Hopefully the disconnect is found soon.

Check out number 6 for a workaround.

[NegaStoat]

on a Win XP machine as an example...

click on the Start button, click on Run..., Type on the line "cmd.exe", a black Dos Shell box will show up with the starting directory path being " C:\Documents and Settings\user"...

Hunt down the directory path for your Everquest folder. Navigate to that path in the Dos Shell by using the Change Directory path. An example of doing this on my machine was...

" CD C:\program files\sony\everquest "

Once you've changed your directory path to something similar to the above that ends with your everquest folder, type in...

" start eqgame.exe patchme " and you'll get the logon window for the game. or at least I did. in game now.

Yup. Awesome. Thanks!

Just right click "play" in launcher and click "run Everquest." Works like a charm.

I swear sometimes the EQEmuLauncher is more trouble than its worth. And I can't believe all the information regarding setting up P99 without the Launcher has been removed...

Here goes:
1) Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)
2) Right-click on the eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select Create Shortcut.
3) Right-click on the Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in step (2). Select Properties.
4) In the Properties menu that appears, edit the target line to say "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select Apply and then OK to close the properties box.
5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.
8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v28, found . http://www.project1999.org/files/eqchangesv28.zip if this post is out of date, just update "28" with the current number)
9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.
10) Within the C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
11) Log into the server with the account you created at EQEmulator.org (http://www.eqemulator.org/).
12) Select Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.
13) Enjoy playing on P99.

thanks for that post negastoat, my directery was a tad bit different, i had to navigate to program files (x86) instead of just program files but it works like a charm

[Jorgam]

Yup. Awesome. Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I didn't know you could get through the launcher like that. I'm in and playing!
