patch problems.

[Jws2886]

I am having the same Issue right now

[Naprox]

My game worked fine yesterday. Try to log in today and the dsetup.dll file is missing. when I try to reinstall it from the patch it doesn't seem to install that device library loader file.

I gone back and reinstalled the game, which works but blank character screen due to not having the new V33 patch installed yet. However, when I install the V33 patch, the dsetup.dll file vanishes from the directory after unzipping it into the everquest folder.

Any thoughts about this dilemma?

tried installing on my wife's computer today. same thing, still says spell file isn't up to date. i'm completely boggled.. think i'll have to throw in the towel. bloody shame, been so much work to get where i'm at.

i'll get a buddy of mine to donate my gear/wealth to friendly faces we know.

Don't give up, there has to be a way!!
Maybe someone who is better at this install stuff can assist via screenshare or something..

Ok, I don't know wtf to do about this. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled, removed appropriate files, patched v33 files. Still same results. DSETUP.dll file cannot be found. Upon Scanning the v33 patch I find that the DSETUP.dll file is Malware@#2ijvrlcad4aj2.

What gives?

Seems that my character UI files got corrupted somehow. No idea what could have caused this, but after reinstalling and trying to reuse the character ui files I got the same problems so I just removed the UI files for each of my characters and now it runs fine. I just have to rebuild the ui for each character which is annoying, but better than not being able to play.

Thx for the help.

If your anti-virus is detecting the dll as a virus, it's cleaning it up automatically every time you put it back on your system.

Try disabling your anti-virus, reinstall the patch and then try to play and see if that works

I have Windows 8 too... I like it but it's buggy or maybe I should say "different"

I did discover that if I'm logged in as admin I cannot actually download files. After searching MS help and other forums I found the following info which addressed the problem.

I had to create a separate user account, give that account admin permissions, and then login under that account to download and install the patch.

I guess what I'm getting at is, are you positive that Win8 is letting you copy over those files?

you are correct that win8 wont let you just run things with admin access, but im not sure that you have to go through setting up a seprate account to get it.
i have found that you can simply right-click on the program that you want to have admin access and choose the run as admin option.
the down side being that you have to do this every time

I can run things as admin, when logged in as admin or a user with admin rights.

I cannot download anything as admin. That's where the additional account comes in. It's a known issues or "feature" with Win 8 and quite frankly, sucks

ahaaaaa! i have found resolution.. lol.. months later.

i decided to take a stab at fixing this and set it up from scratch again. i encountered the same problems as before.

i decided to go looking for new titanium ISOs and found them easy enough. i mounted and installed these, patched and bam! works fine! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

so what was actually going on is there was some issue with the files i had before. curiously, my buddy uses the same ones without issue *shrug*

specifically they were from caseyEQ on some forum or another. the convenience of these files was that there was no need to install as it was a complete directory.. you just had to add the patch. however, this stopped working at v33.

anyways, if anyone runs across this sort of spell file shenanigans and nothing else will fix it... it might be worth finding out if you used an already complete titanium directory or actually installed from mounted ISOs (or physical cds if you have that sort of thing.)

cheers! thx for all the help to those who tried.
