EQ Emu Launcher

[medievalerror]

The Launcher will not load the servers--it's like my computer won't let it connect to the internet (But clearly my internet connection is fine). The white bar at the top of the launcher that typically has some kind of web page/header it in simply reads like a web page that could not load: "Navigation to the web page was canceled." Any ideas? It was working just fine a couple hours ago...

Several others are having this issue as well. I got kicked out of the game and then had this happen. You are not alone

[medievalerror]

Good to know--thanks. I also have the 1.22 version of the launcher--it updates itself every time I open. I need to find a place to just get the 1.24 version.

[Genedin]

maybe the problem? i have the same error and i run 1.22 though i thought it updated auto

[medievalerror]

It usually does auto update--I think the major problem we're having is that it is no longer auto updating. It is trying to connect to servers with the 1.22 version, which isn't possible.

[Genedin]

let me know if ya fix it

[medievalerror]

I also get message, "Error when retrieving the latest version" I assume of the EMU Launcher. If anyone knows where I can download the 1.24 version, please let me know.

I have 1.24 and I'm getting the same error: "Could not reach webserver. Trying again in 10 seconds." etc.

I also tried right clicking on the top and selecting "Only Start Everquest" but then I get the spell file is out of date error.

[Genedin]

thats not promising.

also i think you can get it from moestaverne.com
that appears to be not responding.
assuming that the launcher is run on the same server or network as the website that is also not responding, we may have to wait until they fix whatever issues they are having.

[medievalerror]

I now have correct version, but still getting the spell file error.

[Genedin]

where did you download 1.24 directly?

[medievalerror]

Got it from my bro, but that still doesn't fix the problem. I think the issue is somehow with the Moe's tavern site...

[Genedin]

damnit! i'll have to try again tomorrow i guess. apparently this issue is all over the internet from many months ago up until now and i dont see any fix logs.

[ABadScientist]

Same issue. I can't update to 1.24 and I am getting the spell file (sp-1) error when launching from eqgame.exe shortcut. Has anyone had any luck?

I'm going to try a fresh install tomorrow and will post an update.

I just discovered Project 1999 today and am more anxiously awaiting this than Christmas.

That Launcher is ... crap. They seriously need to either fix it or quit telling people to use it.

For those having problems: Try Duxa's All-In-One Installer (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=28335&highlight=installer). It will update all of the files necessary to play here.

Once you get that done, log into P99 without the Launcher! Do this instead. (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=752941&postcount=2)

I'm just coming back to the game and did a fresh install tonight.

The launcher would not work/update, so I followed Zereh's instructions as I would prefer to skip it anyway. I installed Duxa's All-In-One Installer and accessed the game without the launcher, but got the outdated spell error message. :(

EDIT

finally got it working...manually updated the last patch changes from here (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=84589)

[ABadScientist]

In!

The launcher patched itself this morning just fine, but I was getting timeout errors at the login screen. (I had updated the eqhost file, but am not sure if that was the issue as it was seemingly the same as it was prior to patching.) I re-ran Duxa's and chose not to update the eqhost file the second time around and got in just fine.

Hope that helps if anyone is still having issues.
