Launch Error

Just started getting everything set up and finished the install with the directions provided and I'm getting the "Windows cannot find 'eqgame' error

same

you're starting the command prompt in the C:\Windows\system32 directory, since the EQGame.exe file doesn't reside there it doesn't know how to find it.

I assume you're using the "Launch Titanium.bat" file? if so you'll want to edit it from the default of:

start eqgame patchme

to:
start c:\<whateveryourdirectorypathis>\eqgame.exe patchme

cant edit it :/

Ashintar 07-20-2017 06:36 PM

what error message do you receive when you attempt to right click "launch titanium.bat" and select edit?

I went ahead and changed the properties of the shortcut and was able to log in finally.

Just built a new computer and trying to complete this install as well. When I double click the Launch Titanium.bat file I get a "Memory could not be read" error. If I run it as admin I get the same as the people above.

When I complete the steps that you outlined above I get "Please delete Wsock32.dll and eqgame.dll from you everquest titanium directory" error.

As far as I can tell, those files do not exist.

Please help :)

EDIT - Was able to login by changing the resolution to something unplayable, but now the characters are invis (except their weapons) and the world is a gray and undefined. Seems to be some sort of resolution issue, but be damned if I can figure out what...

invis characters
 
Same problem as Badpenny, with the invisible characters. Has anyone resolved this?

Also having this problem. (Didn't have this problem when I created my p1999 account years ago.)

Will try Ashintar's advice and report back. (Seems very self explanatory, but minibus <--is noob)

eqgame (file problems) - advice for level 0 noobs
 
Alright, so Ashintar's advice works and is really easy. If you're having problems with your eqgame file, try this.
