Unable to open EQ shortcut after updating spell files

I'm still having the same problem after v13. I've noticed, however, that if I delete wsock32.dll, I can log in and play on other servers.

i have the same problem .

Problem persists after V13 hotfix. I've cleaned the dir of all files needing to be updated and manually moved them over, no go. Installed EQEmu Launcher for the first time - it found and identified a good amount of files to update, including those with the v13 patch, and the errors persist. Fatal error with eqgame.exe upon launch, and a DLL-2 error code if I leave the dialog box up and load into charselect.

I'm re-downloading Platinum now to try a completely clean install using emu launcher. It's rather strange that EMU overwrote the v13 files even after I'd installed the hotfix - is there some reason they would be reverting back to pre-v13 file states when I launch eqgame.exe?

Still unable to load after V13. I have AMD / XP / `NVIDIA 4 MX 440. Hope I don't have to reload. Error shows as soon as it begins loading but goes to faulty Character Screen. Thx

Some of you will need to get a hold of me in IRC and we can try trial and error to troubleshoot this problem. I obviously can't reproduce the issue you are experiencing and there are 800+ people online without the same issue as well.

If you are going to help me figure this out please be somewhat computer savvy.

Okay, those of you with your client immediately crashing after downloading the new files. Please download the following file.. rename it to eqgame.dll, and put it into your EQ Directory (replacing the one that is in there). Let me know if this fixes your problem or not.

Yes Rogean, the new dll file fixed the problem. Was having the same issue with the game crashing immediately(but if you didnt click ok it didnt close) and saying I didnt have the right spell files.

For your reference I am running Windows XP service pack 2 on an ancient AMD Athlon XP 3000+ with 512 MB sdram and onboard graphics card haha.
THANK YOU for fixing the issue! I hope it helps everyone affected.
