I downloaded V45 files, but (at char selection) EQ says I have an old spells files

I'm finally trying to join P1999.

Anyways, I clicked "overwrite" when extracting the V45 files to my EQ dir.

Yet the login screen tells me my spell files isn't new enough.

It appears V45 is the newest files. What's going on?

I did not connect to live (or run any patcher.) I ran the titanium.bat file to start the program.

Try this:

Alternatively, right click eqgame.exe and click create shortcut. Right click your newly created shortcut, and in the target line add patchme to the end of the path, outside the quotes if they are present. Click OK. You may use this shortcut or Launch Titanium.bat to run everquest after you have completed installation.

If that doesn't work, then it's your connection. See this thread for more info: https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=294997

I fixed it, it was after I extracted the files into my EQ dir, I eventually realized it was exporting them to a "project 1999" dir and just had to move those files.
