Try re-installing Everquest anywhere but the Program Files folder. When you re-install, try installing to c:\games instead. What happens is that Windows permissions stop you from overwriting files in the Program Files folder - so you can't make the correct changes to play on Project 1999.

If your confident in changing shortcuts you can just move (not copy) the EverQuest folder from the Program Files\Sony\blah blah folder to your root (c or d drive) and change the desktop shortcut to match.

Edit: Also, I'm assuming you are actually unzipping the zip files before putting them in the EQ folder right? (Your picture points to an EQChanges.zip file above the Doug model)

[jagdryan]

yea i unzip them and move them over all files where change and its installed on a harddrive used for games and music

I've been able to get on fine and play up until today, I logged in and I'm getting the same you are missing client files error that jagdryan is getting =(

Has something changed since yesterday? My EQ directory is not in Program Files either. Is there any other steps I can take to troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

[jagdryan]

my wife and I are having the same problem.

[woohoo7676]

Just tried to play on my laptop (different computer) and get the same error =(

I have W7 - 64 bit, and Microsoft Security Essentials on both PCs if that helps...scanned the EQ directory and no threats found.

Redownloaded Eqchanges v1.3 again just for the heck of it and unzipped to EQ directory, and it worked. No idea what was different but oh well :)

As for this I right clicked the icon for avast on the task bar. Navigated to avast! shields control > Disable for 10 mins

^ In this order and it ended up working for those with similar issues hope this works for someone.

I had to make two exceptions for Avast! to stop blocking EQ. I'm guessing it was the second one that I did which actually made a difference though.

Go to Real-Time Shield > File System Shield
Go to Advanced Settings > Exclusions

I added my EQ directory to the Exclusions list here.

If you clicked on Settings at the upper right and entered your exclusion there it will NOT work. That will only exclude the file or directory from being scanned when you manually scan, it does not exclude it from the real-time scanning that happens when files are accessed.

I didn't have to disable Avast! for it to load properly once I made the changes :) Hope this helps others!

Thank you VERY much i've had so many problems trying to exclude certain folders from being scanned.. didn't know it had to be the expert settings...

my EQ started doing this yesterday (don't know why it wasen't sooner)

[woohoo7676]

So I guess I spoke too soon - after working yesterday, I tried to log in today to the same DLL-2 error =(

I noticed that when I run the EQ Emu launcher, it always patches the \Resources\GlobalLoad.txt file - not sure if maybe that has something to do with it?

Back to the drawing board I guess...

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

let us know mate, but try not using the launcher?

[woohoo7676]

Turns out that it was the launcher replacing one of the files (i'm guessing GlobalLoad.txt) for whatever reason, so if I patch manually and run the executable it works :) Hope this might help someone.
