Miscellaneous: Can't log in this evening...

[Reinarabbi]

Hey all. I can't seem to log in this evening. Is anyone else having the same issue?

[Rebel Scum]

same here, neither windows pc or linux hand held. just sits on connecting to servers.

The server login implementation changed today. I was able to connect using an updated middlemand which I built from this source:
https://github.com/Fuse-P99/fuse-bri...and-standalone

I'm not sure yet about a more user-friendly solution, but maybe this helps or points in the right direction.

Ruiens suggestion worked for me, I had claude help with the steps.

From Google Ai Assist:

To make this code work on your Linux handheld and your Windows PC, you need to compile and run it.
Here is the step-by-step guide to setting it up:

1. Preparation (Both Systems)Save the code block you provided into a plain text file named exactly main.go inside an empty folder on your computer/handheld.
2. How to Compile and Run on Linux (Handheld / Steam Deck)Go is highly portable and incredibly easy to build directly on your device.
Install the Go Compiler:Open your Terminal (Desktop Mode on Steam Deck) and install Go using your system's package manager:

1)Arch Linux / Steam Deck (with developer mode enabled): sudo pacman -S go
2)Ubuntu / Debian: sudo apt install golang
3)Fedora: sudo dnf install golang

Initialize and Build the Program:Navigate to the folder where you saved your main.go file and run:
bash
go mod init p99-middleman
go build -o p99-middlemand main.go

Run the Binary:Launch the newly compiled proxy in the background:
bash./p99-middlemand &

3. How to Compile and Run on Windows PCIf you want to compile it yourself on Windows, follow these steps:

Install Go: Download and run the official Windows installer from golang.org.
Compile via PowerShell/CMD:Open PowerShell, navigate (cd) to the folder containing your main.go file, and run[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]owershell
go mod init p99-middleman
go build -o p99-middlemand.exe main.go

Run the Executable[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]ouble-click the newly generated p99-middlemand.exe file. Leave the terminal window open while you play.

4. Update Your EverQuest Configuration

For both devices, you must instruct your EverQuest client to route its traffic through this new local script instead of hitting the internet directly.Open your EverQuest installation directory.Locate and open the file named eqhost.txt.Replace its contents entirely with the following text:
text[LoginServer]
Host=localhost:5998

Hi Ruien. Would you be able to explain in steps on how you were able to log in? I clicked on the link you provided and I did not know what else to do after that. Do I need to download something and change some coding?

[Reinarabbi]

Looks like Rebel Scum have posted it. Will try it and hopefully I'm able to do it and be able to log back in

If you were previously using a middleman application, try completely removing it. There were updates made so that this shouldn't be necessary for anyone anymore.

[Rogean]

Made some additional fixes. Try it now (Still without middleman please. I'm trying to remove dependencies on that).

[Reinarabbi]

It works! Thank you so much Rogean!
