HELP

[PowaGamer]

"eqgame.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience."

I just downloaded and yada yada. got to the launch and it launches then does that.

anybody?

[Slave]

Did you follow every step in the getting started guide verbatim?

Do you really think he did that if he's posting this? lol

Your post should have read: "Follow every step in the Getting Started guide verbatim." :)

[PowaGamer]

Yes followed every step

[Danyelle]

This should have gone in the technical help section.

And I doubt you did...Walk me through, step by step, exactly what you did to set up EQEmu. Don't link me back to that guide and say "I did all this" because that doesn't matter to me. What matters is you give me every step you took so I can see if you missed something or messed something up.

If the detail is not excruciating we will not be able to HELP.

[Danyelle]

If the detail is not excruciating we will not be able to HELP.

Actually true lol.

Just yelling HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and detailing the event by saying "yada yada" does nothing for us. lol

[PowaGamer]

Ok first I used this game: EDITED :P
Created an EQemulator account-verified
loginserver-verified

downloaded the EQEmuLauncher

Coppied the velious files

launched, asked me about a folder path (that wasn't mentioned in the setup at all) So i put the folder path " C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest " and the Exe path auto assigned to "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe "

then launched, ask me if i wanted to patch something Host, said no, got that error. next time i patched it. same error.

My res is 1920x1200. could that have anything to do with it?

[Scavrefamn]

Anyone who starts a thread in the wrong section and -only- posts "HELP" as the title is not worth my time.
I hope others realize this as well.

[Danyelle]

no but i think that patched

You're supposed to. I'm guessing you missed some steps. Did you delete the the .iso files used to install Titanium?

[PowaGamer]

no i still have the iso files. they're not mounted, should disc 1 be?

[Danyelle]

no i still have the iso files. they're not mounted, should disc 1 be?

Here's what I'm going to have you do. Uninstall Titanium, reinstall it from scratch. Then follow these instructions:

1. During install pick a folder that is easy to remember, I use C:\EQTitanium\

2. Let the installer do it's shit

3. Set up your EQEmu account and LS info (you said you already did this, skip to step 4)

4. go into your EQ folder, find "eqhost.txt". Open it and change the contents to:

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

DO NOT set the port (the last 4 numbers) to 5999. The 5999 port is for Seeds of Destruction, Underfoot, and Veil of Alaris/Live clients only. None of those 3 are supported by Project 1999.

5. Save eqhost.txt and close it. Right click it, click "Properties" and check the box at the bottom that says "Read Only". Click "Apply" and close the properties window.

6. Download the Launcher, patch EQ Titanium, CLOSE the launcher. Don't enter game yet.

7. Go back into your EQ directory and remove the following files:

nektulos.eqg
nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
nektulos.mp3
nektulos.zon
lavastorm.eqg
lavastorm.emt
lavastorm_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.mp3
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
arena.zon

The patcher will remove some of them, some of them will still be in your EQ folder. Make absolutely 100% sure you delete the right ones. .eqg NOT .s3d for example.

8. Find eqgame.exe, right click it, select "Send To" then "Desktop (Create Shortcut)". It will send the short cut to Desktop.

9. Right click the new shortcut, add 'patchme' without quotes to the end of the "Target" box. It should look something like:

C:\EQTitanium\eqgame.exe patchme

Click "Apply" and close properties.

10. Apply any optional custom changes as you see fit, such as Velious UI, Duxa UI, Luclin models, WinEQ, EQLite, etc etc. Follow instructions that accompany these "optional patches" making sure not to skip steps.

11. Run EQ through that Desktop shortcut. At Login input your EQEmu LS information, at server select click Project 1999 and click "Play Everquest"

Should be good to go. If you encounter any more errors go back into your EQ folder, find the Logs folder inside, then find the dbg.txt file and copy/paste the contents of that file into a PM to me or this post. I'll see what I can do.

[Atmas]

Danyelle and OP I suggest you edit your posts to remove some offending material.

[PowaGamer]

On it. will come back with feedback. Ty

[SamwiseRed]

try to run eq exe from the directort you installed it. if you edited the shortcut that pops on your desktop it wont work. at least thats what the voices tell me.

[batkiller]

I bet its resolution related. Can you try running it windowed?

[PowaGamer]

Ok i'm on
9. Right click the new shortcut, add 'patchme' without quotes to the end of the "Target" box. It should look something like:

and it wont let me edit that. it says
"the name'C:\program files\sony\everquest\eqgame.exepatchme' specified in the target box is not valid. make sure the path and file name are correct.

going to keep going and skip this step.

[SamwiseRed]

will eq be doing one last progression server? ive never raided or accomplished anything in everquest aside from epic on blue servers and low level griefing on sz. I wanna kill dragons brothers. give me good news.

[Danyelle]

Ok i'm on

"the name'C:\program files\sony\everquest\eqgame.exepatchme' specified in the target box is not valid. make sure the path and file name are correct.

going to keep going and skip this step.

Make sure there's a space between exe and patcheme.

[PowaGamer]

I did it wouldn't let me even with the space.

[Danyelle]

I did it wouldn't let me even with the space.

Ahh I see what the problem is. Go back and take everything out of the Target box (So it's empty) and put this in there (quotes and all, just copy/paste it):

"C:\program files\sony\everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

It's because it's in Program Files. The space between Program and Files throws it off if the directory location isn't in quotes. THEN another space and 'patchme'

[PowaGamer]

Ok when i set the "Exe Path:" to the shortcut that i put on my desktop (the one i couldn't edit) it says, "Please run EverQuest.exe"

When i change it to the actual "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" it says

"eqgame.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" LOL

back to square 1.

[PowaGamer]

Well i changed it, but it still doesnt work :(

[Sithel1988]

i think i re downloaded it and reinstalled it when i had that problem

[PowaGamer]

Any idea how to set it to run in window mode?

[Sithel1988]

if you want to know how to set it in windowed then you must have been able to log on and play. he needs no more help yay

[Danyelle]

Ok when i set the "Exe Path:" to the shortcut that i put on my desktop (the one i couldn't edit) it says, "Please run EverQuest.exe"

When i change it to the actual "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" it says

"eqgame.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" LOL

back to square 1.

Setting it back to regular eqgame.exe without patchme will cause it to try and patch the game and break doing so (not having an appropriate patch server to connect to).

You HAVE to set it with patchme. Try copying the ENTIRE EQ folder to a new folder just in the C drive. NOT in Program Files or anything like that. Say you named the folder EQP99. Your Target box would then look like this:

C:\EQP99\eqgame.exe patchme

Do it this way. Installing EQEmu clients to Program Files is just a pain in the ass.

[Danyelle]

Is that correct? You actually got it working?

[PowaGamer]

I bet its resolution related. Can you try running it windowed?

This guy was right. B4 i reinstalled the game and did all that i tried editing the Options.exe and setting the game to run in 1024x768 but that didn't work so i gave up on the idea that it was resolution based. then i found this:

When I try to open EQ, the window blinks black and then closes and I get an error, but EQ never even starts.
Most likely you are having a resolution or drivers issue. Try adjusting your EQ or Desktop Resolutions or updating your video drivers. It may just be that EQ is trying to start in a resolution that it does not support. If setting your desktop to 1024X768 does not work, then you may need to set it in your eqclient.ini. There should be a file named OptionsEditor.exe in your Everquest folder. Open that program and set your resolution to 1024X768 and see if that helps. If not, run it again and try other resolutions. Once you have it working, you should be able to adjust your resolution from in game and then /camp out to save the new settings.

So i changed my desktop res to 1024x768 and now it works. Vala. Smh.

Tyvm Danyelle for helping me and taking the time to help me. I super appreciate it, really. This is why i prefer EQ to all other games. it's the players. ty to everybody else. now i'ma go game it :D!

Thank you again!

[Danyelle]

No problem, If you need anything else let me know.

[Sithel1988]

your not gonna tell us who your new explorer is?

[PowaGamer]

Virtune troll away :PPPP
