Error 1017
 

Greetings;

I am getting this message rite now:

"Eror 1017: Cannot login to the Everquest server. You may need to re-run the Update Patch Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary"

Now when I launched P99 on a windows it ran the patch for me every time... but on my mac it does not run any patch for me automatically - I must have to do this manually? How do I go about doing this if so?

-- UPDATE:

Odd, it seems to work fine now...

problem solved..

What was it? :)

And, are you having issues applying the patch by manually copying the new files?

No, the opposite. Came back from break and EQclient didn't start after patching with EQEmulauncher. Copied a vanilla copy in and patched manually.

Everything working perfectly now. Just running a bit slow. Guess i have to look into the multi core problem.

macbook pro (mid2009).

Thanks for the wrapper <3.. impossible to play in Parallels with my mac. It's way too slow.

edit: patched with EQEmulauncher in VM

P99 was running fine on my Macbook Pro 10.7.2 install.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) it will not start and I have to force quit. Beware :/

I have the same problem with 10.8.2. It worked fine with shipped OS, but after latest update it stopped working. I am thinking about install it again to see if it were one of the patches that made the problem

The issue has to do with Wineq. You need to upgrade it to 2.5.8 I believe. I'm not at home to check but I think that's correct.

Did a quick search on wineq turned up almost nothing. If we have to update it, how is it done? I think most of us downloaded the wine package and followed the steps. So kinda clueless at this point on how to update it.

Anyone know why P99 would run much darker on my mac compared to my PC?

I think he meant Wineskin.app (inside Project 1999.app) needs to be updated. I used Wineskin Winery to update it. The engine I updated to: WS9WineCX11.2.0 with the wrapper: Wineskin 2.5.8. After updating these two things and launching Project 1999.app it worked just fine again.
