returning player needs help getting started
 

hi guys, this is my first post and im excited to start playing eq again its been 8 long years. Anyways i was looking on the eqemu website and on a sticky in there forums it says you can use SoF or underfoot as well as titanium, is this true? If so they're so much more easily obtainable. Any help is greatly appreciated and if you can't use SoF can you please point me in the direction of easily obtaining titanium

Thanks for killing this thread Nick

I have seen people post that many times before.....anyway deleted

so i have gotten to the eqemu launcher everything else is installed. it asks me to update to version 1.24 and i did and then options pops up and i dont know what my folder and exe path are supposed to be and the launcher says cannot contact eqemulator.com plz help need someone tech savy lol

better yet how do i patch in the changes manually and launch manually? seems more reliable

Only Titanium is supported here.

i already have titanium installed... im stuck with the launcher... it says

To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework:
V4.0.30319
contact your application publisher for instructions on obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework .....this is the error message i get every time i update eqemu launcher from V1.22 to V1.24 So i was wondering if anyone can break down how to manually patch in the files so i can start playing

Download and run this, then try using the patcher again: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=17851

so i did that and now im getting this on the launcher

Error while downloading update: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\newversion.exe' is denied.

P.S. i played on E'ci for 4 years

Looks like the Launcher needs Admin access.

Right-click the Launcher (or your shortcut to it) and click Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and check the box by "Run this program as an administrator"

Now when you launch, if UAC is enabled you'll get the yes/no prompt, click Yes, and you should be good to go.

Edit: Oh, and what was your char's name on E`ci? :) I was there from 99-06
