you're starting the command prompt in the C:\Windows\system32 directory, since the EQGame.exe file doesn't reside there it doesn't know how to find it.

I assume you're using the "Launch Titanium.bat" file? if so you'll want to edit it from the default of:

start eqgame patchme

to:
start c:\<whateveryourdirectorypathis>\eqgame.exe patchme

what error message do you receive when you attempt to right click "launch titanium.bat" and select edit?

Just built a new computer and trying to complete this install as well. When I double click the Launch Titanium.bat file I get a "Memory could not be read" error. If I run it as admin I get the same as the people above.

When I complete the steps that you outlined above I get "Please delete Wsock32.dll and eqgame.dll from you everquest titanium directory" error.

As far as I can tell, those files do not exist.

Please help [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EDIT - Was able to login by changing the resolution to something unplayable, but now the characters are invis (except their weapons) and the world is a gray and undefined. Seems to be some sort of resolution issue, but be damned if I can figure out what...

Default invis characters

Same problem as Badpenny, with the invisible characters. Has anyone resolved this?

Also having this problem. (Didn't have this problem when I created my p1999 account years ago.)

Will try Ashintar's advice and report back. (Seems very self explanatory, but minibus <--is noob)

Default eqgame (file problems) - advice for level 0 noobs

Alright, so Ashintar's advice works and is really easy. If you're having problems with your eqgame file, try this.
