Default "Cannot find eqgame". I just installed

Pretty sure I did everything correct. Installed Titatium, did not update, then extracted v61 into the directory. Clicked on "Launch Titanium' but windows command prompt says it cannot find eqgame.

Maybe see https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=245492?

Please report back if it worked (if so I'll add it to https://wiki.project1999.com/Tech_Support).

Easy way to fix is to make a desktop shortcut of the Launch Titanium and start it with that. The shortcut will contain the directory for your EverQuest folder

Theres a few other ways to fix it, but the batch file doesnt know the path of your EQ folder and needs help finding it

I think one of the primary instructions is don't install it into the default program files directory. Might fix your issue.

I'm getting the same issue! I really wanted to play this version too. Not sure what I did wrong. Even when I use the Launch Titanium it still gives the same error code.

Multiple ways to fix. You have to help it find your EverQuest directory. I usually recommend making a desktop shortcut out of the Launch Titanium as its the simplest fix

Right click the Launch Titanium.bat file select "Show more options" and then under Send you can make it a desktop shortcut and launch it from that

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are other ways to fix, here is a couple more:

You can edit the Launch Titanium.bat file to include a CD to your EQ directory
Quote:
CD C:\EverQuest
start eqgame patchme
Or you can create your own shortcut that launches it directly (make sure it includes the patchme)

Are you putting in the "Start in" field for your EverQuest directory?
