Webserver down?

[agentjayd007]

I considered deleting everything and trying again but I'd rather not have to do that again. Maybe the EQemu launcher is broken somehow?

well i thought the same thing. So reinstalled it. Then I downloaded and used Duxas. No have worked. Rebooted routed. Killed all firewalls nothing. I mean it just happened out of nowhere in the course of like a 4-5 hour period. I was on earlier. Logged off. And tried to log in and got all this. sigh......

[Traisc]

geesh my typing sucked on that. None have worked. Rebooted router. There we go. Typing is back to normal.

Fix :
I did a full re-install but it may not be needed, however the problem appears to be with EQ emulator launcher. So once you have unzipped the new patch into your everquest directory and replaced the old files, simply use the eqgame icon to open EQ and the select P99. Heres a copy/paste of some info that may help if you havent set up your eqgame file to go the the emulator :
EverQuest Titanium Private Server Setup: How To



1.) Go to Run Type in "%HOMEDRIVE%Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqhost.txt"
Without the Quotes

2.) Now Modify the file to look like.

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Goto File, Save and close the File now.

3. Now Modifying the EverQuest Shortcut.

Right Click the EverQuest Shortcut the Install Made. Goto: Properties

Now Change Target

From: "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\EverQuest.exe"
To: "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme -w

Click Ok Button.

That is it for getting on, now you need a login server account.

Hopefully that helps solve it for the rest of you

Same issue, when I bypass it the servers shows human characters and my that my spells are outdated but I was playing just fine about two hours ago. Nothing has changed since then, everything has suggest hasn't worked. I haven't attempted a full re-install though.

No point reinstalling anything or changing anything as it's obviously an issue elsewhere as everyone i know is getting the same error messages.

"Loading serverlist ...
Could not reach webserver. Trying again in 10 seconds."

It's also being reported at the EQEmu site, the login server is under a DDoS attack apparently.

guys... seriously.

theres a FAQ for this stuff.

But since so mnay of you are having problems, here's what you need to do.

IF YOU CAN'T EXTRACT THE PATCH INTO YOUR EQ FOLDER:
Instead, extract them to your desktop, then copy them into your eq folder. This will give you the most recent patch files and you will no longer need to use the eq emu launcher to set them up for you each time you start up.

ONCE YOU HAVE THE FILES IN YOUR EQ FOLDER:

Go to your everquest folder and open eqhost.txt
Delete all the text in this file, replace it with this:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

AFTER MODIFYING YOUR EQHOST.TXT FILE:
Make a shortcut for EQGAME.EXE on your desktop. Do this by going to your everquest folder, finding the file, right clicking and going to send to -> desktop(Create shortcut).

RIght click your desktop shortcut and add -patchme to the end of the TARGET line. YOU MUST DO THIS IN ORDER TO RUN EQ. it should look something like this:
c:\program files\everquest\eqgame.exe -patchme

OPEN YOUR SHORTCUT AND LOG IN.



This is NOT an issue with the login server. This is an issue with the eqemu launcher. I prefer not to use the launcher at all because it has this issue too often.

By the way. All of this info is already up on the FAQ.

Have fun and you're welcome.

have you read the FAQ lately? no? that's what i thought.

it explicitly states to use the patcher. it no longer contains a link directly to the most recent files.

sorry, you're wrong.

maybe if you took the time to be helpful instead of just bashing random users on the forum...

And as if by magic it started to work again without changing a thing ;p it was just being DDOS'd as mentioned.

[Buttermilk]

Everything was up to date and all steps where taken that you suggested and I still had the update spells error. Works now that eqemu is back up.
