Hey, just started to play and got same message, i dont know what a debugger is and have no desire to use one to cheat. Any other reason i could get it? all i did was reboot computer for AVG

You have to put a exception in AVG for p99.

For anyone else who is interesting...
To make an AV exception:
1. Open the AVG Antivirus Console
2. Click on "Options" in the upper-righthand corner of the console and select "Advanced Settings"
3. Click on "Exceptions" from the list on the left, the in the right-side panel, click on "Add exception".
4. For "Exception type:", choose "Folder" then Browse to your "Sony" install directory for EQ.
5. Click on "OK" to add the exception
6. Play EQ1999 again!

Worked on my buddy's laptop; thanks.

Ok, I'm hitting the same wall. I played yesterday and I have installed nothing new.

I have windows 10, Windows Defender, and MBAM installed.

New thing that happens: When I try to open EQ my system gives me a black tile saying:

"Press Win + Alt + R" to take a screenshot. It's never done that before. This tiles sits right over the error message about not using a debugger...

Any Ideas?

Edit: That black tile is from windows' new "Game Bar". I have gone into the registry and completely disabled it. Still getting a debugger error.

Update: Turning off AVG fixed this - don't know why it was necessary since EQ was in the exception list....

Uh oh, me too. There was a windows 10 update recently, but now I am worried that I may have Malware or something that is interfering. I have not installed any new programs, and have never used any game altering hacks.

btw: AVG exception was added long ago, Windows Defender not turned on

I found that the Windows 10 Xbox game overlay app was causing this debugger error to pop-up for me. I removed it from the system using the following powershell command and rebooted. Issue was gone.

Within powershell:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage

If this was already mentioned here in thread, my apologies. Hope this helps someone =)

I really dislike when M$ installs their app-trash without asking =\

Removing the new game overlay worked for me. I had to reboot though after removal to get it working.

Did you add an exception in both Windows Defender and MalwareBytes for the client?

my AVG Anti virus was causing this error, I have disabled AVG for now till I work out what ports to allow through
