EQemu Launcher Issue

[Damaja]

I had been using this to log on to P99, but have been off for a few weeks, so I wanted to return yesterday and went to log in and it will not pull up the server listings.

Could not reach webserver. Trying again in 10 seconds

over and over and over again

Anyone know whats up with this?

apparently its not longer supported, I used to use this as well.

Now I can't get the game to work and I'm banging my head against the wall trying.

EQEmuLauncher has been deprecated and is no longer supported. The setup guide and latest patch notes have been updated with the new method of obtaining required game files.

Unfortunately for me this is not working

Then your doing something wrong.

[Jokesteve]

You're more than welcome to help me figure out what that is! I have a post in the technical forum, but I've exhausted everything in the FAQ's with no luck.

Your doing it just fine. Its just broken.
See from news and announcements.

I understand EQEMU launcher is no longer working, however the issue I'm having is with the new method. I get the same error everytime I try to log into any account using the 'new method'. I am using a fresh install of trilogy and the file pack in the thread you linked, and still crashing :(

[rugerx]

are you still using the launcher? if so patch as indicated manaully.
Then once the launcher loads, and says cant find webserver, just ignore it.
Right click the Play button in the bottom right corner of the launcher and and choose "only start everquest"

Think you figured it out there Mr. trilogy :)

Just use WinEQ!

[Neto]

On the launcher, right click anywhere on the window and click "Only Start Everquest" .. it will load EQ and you can close the launcher :)

When I try this the launcher just crashes. Anyone know another way?

Just use the desktop shortcut method.

And be sure you've downloaded the latest patch.

1. Find your P99 folder
2. Find "eqgame.exe"
3. Create a shortcut for it (I put mine on the desktop)
4. Go to the shortcut, right click on it and select "Properties"

Something resembling this will appear (your folder path will likely be different to mine)..

Make sure to write patchme after the target. Apply the changes.

You can now use the shortcut to log in!... job done. No launcher required anymore! The only thing to be aware of is patch days, where you need to go to the News/Announcements forum and download the latest patch and unzip it to your EQ folder.

I am launching from the shortcut. But when I log in it say's I dont have the spell files. my spell files are from the october patch which is still the most recent right? Not very computer literate so not sure what im doing wrong

[Swish]

Yeah v30 (http://www.project1999.org/files/P99Files30.zip). Try restarting windows? That's fixed it for me before.

As soon as I followed the steps manually with the V30 files I was able to get in first try with no more "spell file outdated" nonsense. Should be easy if you follow the directions.
