Alright i did that, but now when i go to log in i get a message saying i cant log in, and that i may need to run an update patch? What does this mean now?

Hmmm, for some reason the spell_us.txt file is dated 8/2/2010, anyone else have this problem?
I extracted it straight from the eqchangesv4.zip file.

I am having the same issue. Have never had any problems updating files on p99. Running windows 7
last successful log in about 2 weeks ago.

have both files in main eq folder and global load in the resources folder.

and the error message

Note: I get this error message after a return to the log in screen. I attempt to log in as normal. It appears to be loading. Instead of character select screen it goes back to log in screen where I re-enter password and receive the error message.

thanks for any help

It really is amazing how many people fail at performing simple computer operations.

I will never understand it.

How amazing is it Rogean? On a scale of 1 to 10?

Do the two .txt files related to spells in the main eq directory, then the resources has to go inside the resources folder.

I figured out my problem though, I had to use the beta_spells.zip and take that spells_us.txt file and place it into my EQ directory, then I added dbstr_us.txt to it, in case anyone else has some "amazingly stupid failage at performing simple computer operations", which some cannot understand. Ever.

Do you mean that the files your putting in the EQ directory have to have the .txt at the end or what?

depending on your os and settings, they may or may not display the .txt, should however show the text document icon (it is not part of the file name).. follow the instructions of the person tring to help before in relation to making sure that your os overwrites the files, and doesnt add something at the end and put it next to it, if your still having issues, you have yourself a bug im guessing, post about in the bug section and provide as much info as possible.... oooooh also im unsure how they made it so that one cant login withlout the new spell files, but if youve been screwing around with the files, try redownloading them..

and cut the devs/assistants whatnot some slack, they have been doing alot of work recently for free, and yes certian responses may be a bit harsh, but they are no doubt incessentally bombarded with stupid questions... i doubt i would ever even log into the forums in thier shoes
