Shouldn't be using a patcher. Will likely have to re-install and follow the guide on how to bypass the patcher.

Now, you will need to create a shortcut to launch EverQuest and bypass the EQLive patcher (if this step is not taken, you will launch the patcher and overwrite the EQHost.txt file that you just modified, making you connect to the global EQLive Login Server). To do this, go into your EverQuest directory. Locate the EQGAME.EXE file. Right-click on the file and select "Create Shortcut." You can rename this shortcut and drag it anywhere you'd like (most people like to put it on their desktop). Now, right-click that shortcut and select Properties. In the target box, you will see the path to the eqgame.exe file. We need to edit this so that it will pass an argument to that executable when the shortcut is launched. At the end of the text box (after any parenthases), add "patchme" (no quotes). Your target box should look similar to this:

"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme


Or if you do not have spaces in the path, it will look like this without quotes:

C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe patchme
Why does this need to be updated?

I did all the steps listed, and I'm getting the same error. I went through and did it twice, and restarted my computer. any ideas on how to fix it?

PEBKAC error. Read the guide again.

It's really simple. You're going to get a lot of shit because the only reason it'll give you that error is if you didn't follow the guide.

There's no patching involved. Period.
