I have done the exclusions but getting cant find "eqgame" when I try to run Launch Titanium from the directory after reinstalling the v49 patch any idea?

Odd, I've had it happen a number of times in the past.

A guildie JUST had the exact same issue.

He reinstalled the v49, removed ALL exclusions, restarted comp, went back and added all exclusions, and it fired off no problem.

Not saying that will work for you, but it did work for him.

Sorry I’m dumb, what are the exclusions you all are referring too? Something to do with the virus protection? What’s the dll errors and eqgame error fixes? I’m not having them atm but with my luck I will ha.
Thanks!

Please will you not you think of the hacker scum who will have to reverse everything again?

Exclusions are instructions to your anti-virus software to ignore a particular file or set of files while performing their threat analysis. Refer to your anti-virus software documentation to learn how to set up exclusions (can also be called "whitelisting").

Check that your antivirus hasn't moved the relevent exe or dll files into quarentine. Ensure your short cuts have the 'starts in' line set to your p1999 directory.

As you've seen by the many replies, the issue seems to be with the latest dsetup.dll file we downloaded from the latest patches. Devs are aware and all we need to do is except the file from Windows Defender. There is more discussion on this topic on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/project1999..._startup_file/ . I had the same issue you did... kinda scary when you see the alert but this "threat" seems contained! Enjoy EQ and play with confidence :) Cheers!
