EQmac Saved - Now FREE to play!

I'm currently running True Colors (32 bit) colors on my pc, but what specific piece of eqw.ini is to be changed to match that?

so it launches but I get the "eqgame.exe has experienced a problem and must shut down" error or whatever when I launch it. If I don't dismiss the box, the game still loads. As soon as I do it shuts it down.

What is EQW? And why does it put you in the old school ui etc? I got into the game....in a postage sized old school window with that error box to the side....as soon as i dismiss the box it shuts everything down

make sure you are running the program as administrator from C:\EQMac

I'm running 32 bit XP...do we have administrator mode?

yessir

right click eqgame.exe ---> Properties ---> Compatibility ---> Voilà

Really appreciate all the help. I'll check that in a second.

I just started over....the patcher is telling me my game files are updated before I patched....went into advanced tools or whatever....it's checking my actual current live directory (not C:/EQMac)....C:/Program Files/Sony Online Entertainment/Installed Games/EverQuest is what it's looking at. I'm guessing it thinks it's patched because it patched all that before.

Do I need to point it to the eqmac directory? How?

[Weekapaug]

No administrator mode. Just has selectable compatability modes for older operating systems

Correction....that was an error message there when I tried to hit PLAY.

But why else would it think everything on a fresh install was patched, unless it previously patched my actual legit EQ files and that's what it's looking at?

This is confusing as shit.

edit: I followed the instructions from the FOH website and they have you apply secrets patch after everything else. Same thing still happening.

I'm still getting "EQW must run in 16 or 32 bit display mode". My computer's settings is 32 bit, but idk what the EQ is set at or how to change it.
