You cannot attach a debugger while playing Project 1999.
 

So at first I was having the WinEQ problem with EQ crashing after the update a day or two ago and now after their most recent update I am getting, "You cannot attach a debugger while playing Project 1999." Does anyone know a fix for this by chance or what could be causing it?

Also getting the exact same problem

Uninstall MQ2.

Well let me be more helpful. A 'debugger' is something that enters the process/dll being loaded in order to understand what's going on, typically.

I don't know how advanced WinEQ is but if any foreign process/object is injecting itself into your client (like MQ2) then this could register as a 'debugger'.

Or you could just be running with a debugger, but I have no idea why you would do that.

For one, August, I don't use MQ so your smartass comments don't help anything. Would something in the EQClient.ini file somehow enable a debugger to supposidly 'start-up' with WinEQ? Or does WinEQ somehow have a debugger option that I cannot find? Like I said it worked fine and then I tried to change my options in eqlient.ini to what Bamzal (I think his name) was saying could possibly work? It seemed those changes were only for resolution though. Any suggestions?

Our anti cheat doesn't allow a debugger to attach to the client. This has always been the case on P99.

I don't think anyone is actually trying to load a debugger. It is just a symptom of the wineq update/project1999 update. They are not jiving very well.

I am getting the debugger message when I try to launch Project1999 through wineq2, and I am definitely not running a debugger.

The weird thing is that everything is working fine on my sons Windows7 machine, but my Windows8 doesn't like the two new updates.

Thats cool your server doesnt let people play anyway! /grin

Ansar: Same here. I can run the game fine without WinEQ except for the random glitch that happens and I can't get nilbog's command to work even with the correct file paths put in the command. Which is why I highly prefer WinEQ.

I prefer wineq because it recovers from UAC prompts, where as the native version will only show a black screen until I camp out.

First thing I disable on any new Windows 7+ PC.
