a FIX for the login problem =]

[Nekkro Pheliac]

Glad that it worked for you but this is not a fix for what everyone is talking about with not being able to log into the server.

Ya, I was aware of those changes, which had completed already. the new change only modified the resources directory, and two other files. The problem still persists ....

Okay i found a fix to the login issue - you need to download the files from the getting started thread and put them in your ROOT directory.

I did this and i got in -
I knew it wasn't an ISP issue since it was cross ISP's. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For prosterirty - heres a link to the files you need.

Http://www.project1999.org/files/eqchangesv4.zip

BTW - you gotta make a shortcut directly to the EQGAME.exe and edit the shortcut destination to have patchme at the end like so:

"D:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest - Project 99'\eqgame.exe" patchme

Come back when you understand what tracert does.

The issue for YOU was that you hadn't patched the right files correctly. The issues for other people is that, at some point along the internet path, they are being dropped/blocked. Most of these people are either on U-Verse or their ISP uses the U-Verse backbone. This is proven by people who patched, were able to log in and then had an issue 2 days later.

One does not solve the other

Make sure the two other files go in the root of the everquest folder and the files int he resources directory of the download go into your resources folder - YOU MUST MAKE A SHORTCUT, if you tried this - You may have another error, the below poster discusses potential ISP issues which may exist for some ; I called mine today and for me this was no issue it seems.

He [nor you] posted in the other forums started by others - which may/may not have resulted in the ending of this couple day long confusion... so what he 'does' is really irrelevant and was only brought up [it seems] by you just a way for you to try to accentuate your point while trying to slightly belittle me when in reality I'm just doing what you didn't and posting a fix for those of us who are lost [and/or the victim of some sort of glitch] - and if this fix doesn't work for everyone? - fair enough and we can help others work down their technical issues as a community ; no harm/no foul - Much respect and love to you and tracert.

Also - its worth noting that the only reason I posted this is because this whole issue started for us (the group of 10 folks i personally know and the other folks on this server reporting similar things in other posts) when the patcher gave us 404 errors and the domain for the patcher went down - is this involved? I don't know but i do know that after that I called my ISP and they assured me it wasn't on their end and nothing has changed). ust don't tell me its -me- when theres others suffering the same symptoms starting at the same time - i dunno about the other folks in this forum but i do know some of them had it start at the same time mine did - i had other folks PMing me about downloading patcher cuz they thought theirs was broken - its actually how i found out MINE didnt work since i wasnt on at all that day.

Is it a patcher or an installer? - Is it safe to run over an already patched game? - will it leave UI's intact?

I will check it out, would be cool to get this information before i use it though - If its good ; I will distribute the download link to the folks in the guild I'm part of.

Yes you can run it over the game you already have installed. If you did any manual changes to Velious UI or Default UI other than the ones that are required to play on this server then it might change those back to default, rest of everything (i.e any other UI) will be untouched. So as far as those are concerned, its safe.

You can run parts of the patcher (i.e. helmet fix or cpu fix or underwater sound fix etc etc... ) by themselves those will not impact anything at all aside from fixing the bugs. So those are 100% safe to run on any customized client without worrying about it messing stuff up.
