i identified the problem, this will be fixed in version 1.1

Awesome stuff.

Out of curiosity, did it have something to do with a timer you had set up to pull the server list up? Just wondering because it takes longer to load on my wife's computer, and when it does (hitting Continue through the error lets it load still) the server list is empty until we Refresh it.

I'm a software developer, so I hafta know! I'm weird that way.

i cache the serverlist, so eqemulator.net doesnt get flooded too much when many people are using the launcher at the same time.
so if it does load a bit longer, you are the "connection" that caches :)

the error is caused by the config-loading and saving, there is a problem with the XML stuff =)

Ah okay. So I was way off >.<

Either way (being the wife of aforementioned error), if I hit continue on the error box, it lets me play, which makes me a happy camper. And as we all know, a happy wife means a happy gamer husband.

yeah it should be no problem, future changes in the options might not get saved, but besides that, everythin should work fine =)
version 1.1 should be released within the next 2 weeks i guess, depends how busy i am.

Lemme know if there's any way I can help with this or any ideas you have for other tools. I'm itching to program something game-related after working on building a database app all day.

I'm fluent in C#, rusty but well versed in VB, dunno which you prefer. These days apart from the syntax they're pretty much the same. IntelliSense will shake off any cobwebs I'm sure :P

some news:

There are some tiny changes to do + that config-error (== fixing the save/load stuff, i already got the idea, just gotta realize it..)
so version 1.1 is on the way (with multiclient support + some other nice changes)

im thinkin about implementing the global downloads (like loading screen, custom UIs, etc) to version 1.1 or maybe this will come with version 1.2.. we will see :)

Version 1.1 is done!
I will test around some more and then release it..
