Unhappy Installation problems

Returning player here

So I decided to return back to the game after 2 years after hearing about the new release of server green. I got quite excited and decided to reinstall the game.
So I did the same procedure as usual. Install the 5 discs and everquest titanium. Then I extracted the new files to the everquest.
Then after that I forgot how to actually start the game... Also apparently we dont have to take the 5 files out anymore that we used to?
Back then what I did to play the game was open eqgame while adding "patchme" to its directory but now it doesnt show that so now I dont know how to open the game
If anyone could help that would be cool.
Thank you![You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have a similar problem. I went to LaunchTitanium and it says Windows can't find eqgame.

Where did you install it at? Sounds like the OS doesn't understand where the exe is and just gives up.

It could be in a folder that EQ doesn't normally look at to launch.
It could be in a folder that your user ID on your computer does not have administrator rights to.

God I hate windows 10. Ok I right clicked and told it to run as administrator and it did the same thing.

Yes, but the folder that your EQ executable is in could be admin only rights.
Where is your executable? For instance, mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest

Mines in the same file, I have administrator rights. I did the thing about making the shortcut and the .txt file and it still doesn't work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ok I got in with the all in one but now I can't go full screen or access my options to change keybindings or spell book to memorize my spells. I followed the insturctions to go into one of the INI files and change windowmode=true to false and I specified my screen size. But for some reason every time I click on anything it nopes out and turns back into a small window.

YOu have to change the value from FULL to Windowed, have the resolution as low as you can in the ini file and also play in windowed mode while playing.

Use "Launch Titanium".

And you can create a shortcut for Launch Titanium and change the name/icon for extra immersion.
