Patching

[amlahren]

I just want to make sure I understand everything here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are 3 methods of patching:
1- EQemu Launcher
2- Creating a "patch me" shortcut
3- Manually downloading

I've always used the EQemu launcher, but I hate how it stays open after EQ launches.

I'm curious if the "patch me" approach does the same thing. The only downside I can see is... on a patch day, you click the shortcut, and EQ doesn't launch for a long time because it's patching. Unless you're an avid forum user who knows when patches are released, this would be confusing. Is this all correct?

Thanks!

EQ emu was discontinued

1. Doesn't work anymore

2. Only skips having to launch through EMU and doesnt patch anything...(preferred by most)

3. This works...

This isn't concrete but seems right... I'm no computer whiz so...
Also, on patch days, Rogean makes the files available to download so you're able to dumb them directly into your EQ directory....

You just have to get the updated (http://moestaverne.com/news/entry.html?id=14) one. I used it today.

So you're saying adding "patch me" doesn't patch? If that were the case, can't you just change the host file and be done?

For the first part of your question, yes, it doesn't patch, just launches EQ... But, when you do this, anytime fixes are added or a patch is done, you won't beable to access EQ through this until you update your files.... As for the 2nd part of your question, like I said earlier, I'm no computer whiz, so I'll leave that to the experts...

Can confirm, although unsupported... it works fine :)

Patching yourself is incredibly simple.

Each update you basically copy a file down, unzip it, and cut and paste the contents into your EQ directory.

Thanks all. Was just fuzzy on how "patch me" worked!
