Default Unable to connect

Hey everyone,

I am trying to get the emulator working and have run through all the steps:

I downloaded titanium (red99
I have made sure all files that needed to be removed are removed accordingly
I have made sure the eqhost.txt is correct
Now when I try to run the game it just tries to connect non stop and never actually connects - I am not sure what I missed so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
D

Have you followed the steps in this guide?

1) Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)

2) Right-click on the eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select Create Shortcut.

3)Right-click on the Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in step (2). Select Properties.

4) In the Properties menu that appears, edit the target line to say "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select Apply and then OK to close the properties box.

5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.

6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.

8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this update, we are on v31, found here.

9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.

10) Within the C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt

11) Start EQ via the shortcut for the eqgame.exe process you created in step four (4).

12) Log into the server with the account you created at EQEmulator.org.

13) Select Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.

14) Enjoy playing on P99.

Ok so the game has now connected and I have made it to server select - I have been trying to find the eqchangesvXX.zip

The server will not actually start and I am assuming that is due to lack of that zip
