using wineq2 and cannot login

[Amuck]

using the same set up I have always used, wineq2 I right click icon and click on the path ive always used and it looks like its loading and gunna pop the EQ window open but nothing happens. When clicked wineq2 it said something on a notepad but I quickly clicked the X to abort and didn't read it. Do I need something else to be able to play now ?

[quido]

I'm getting unknown error repeatedly, and more quickly than I usually do.

wineq patch broke it for now

just use eqgame.exe file till its fixed

[dwightgeary]

my win EQ works fine on my desktop but the one on my tablet dont work ... wierd

[Amuck]

I tried using eqgame.exe and now its asking me to delete Wsock32.dll and eqgamedll from my eq titantium directory. how did the patch break it ?

[Amuck]

gah I cant find another way to login, I have a hp laptop with windows 8 running wineq2. if anyone can help hit me up

[Bazia]

follow the eqemulator guide for creating a shortcut for your eqgame.exe which includes adding the "patchme" to the directory

[Amuck]

I cant figure it out. oh well it was a good run lol

[Amuck]

Weird, my step dad has the same set up I do but on an HP DESKTOP, and I called him 15 minutes ago to see if he could log in and everything works just fine. maybe a fresh install of wineq2? Or cant you set your computer back to the last time you saved? maybe before the patch version was in affect? just ideas. im an idiot and work construction, need nerd help !

[Jepaxis]

WinEQ2 works fine with my other installation of EQ where the custom DLL isn't installed.

[ansar]

Bah, I just tried to get into the game after a little hiatus and wineq does nothing when I run project1999. Weird.

I updated to the lates p99 patch, and this morning wineq updated. I am guessing it could be either of the apps, or both.

Launchpad.exe is the problem ? im gunna make a separate folder and cut that file from my sony file and see if it works,s if it doesn't ill just replace the file. Bamzal keep in touch. I am taking my laptop to my uncles house and he has been able to resolve any problem I have ever had ill have him fix it and explain it to me so that I can help anyone else out that's having issues

[Combobreaker]

Even without wineq2 just trying to run normal EQ.exe I get,

The instruction at 0x0300f0ce refernced memory at 0xffffffffffffffc. The memory could not be read.

[Amuck]

ya I have already gone that route. my uncle wont be awake for a few more hours that dude can drink. But ill shoot over there in 2 hrs and he will have it fixed in moments. Just keep checking this forum I will submit the process he used and if it works for me I hope it works for you. in the meantime anyone from CALI ?

[carli]

also unable to login using WinEQ2

tried logging in the normal way but no luck...

any fixes for this? (Yes I am a bit computer illiterate -- dumb it down for me)

Thanks!

[carli]

update..

not sure what happened I think it was magic.

rebooted and opened wineq2 as admin and it worked.

maybe if anyone else is having this problem try that :)

see you in game!

[nilbog]

I couldn't load using it either..

I see some discussions on the lavishsoft forums so hopefully they are looking into fixing it.

Until then, I made a shortcut and applied affinity from it..

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

^ That will differ from other folks depending on where it is installed, if you have a dual/quad processor, etc.

[Amuck]

still not working for me on my laptop. weird. grats to you guys though!

[Amuck]

when I run my task manager its showing eqgame (32bit) in my background processes... and the same file will pop as many times as I try to connect to EQ but no window pops up just a invisible program running. Most people have seemed to have it up and running again, I tip my hat to you fuckers. ill keep posting till fixxed

[regatta]

"You cannot attach a debugger while playing Project 1999." is the error I am getting now with WinEQ. Anyone know a fix for this? First it was the same problem everyone else was having, then I update and now I get this.

[Vindicoth]

update..

not sure what happened I think it was magic.

rebooted and opened wineq2 as admin and it worked.

maybe if anyone else is having this problem try that :)

see you in game!

Confirmed for me! Running as Administrator works! can't believe I didn't think of that. ITS ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

Also I didn't have to reboot. Just run as administrator.

[gotrocks]

First off, everyone needs to try running Wineq as an administrator. You may also (and should) set wineq to run as an admin all the time by simply right clicking the shortcut icon, going to properties and checking 'run as administrator' and then hitting ok.

If that doesn't work, please read the FAQ linked in my sig to find out how to run eqgame.exe without patching your eq client (this is very important - if any of you inadvertently ran Sony's patcher you will need to reinstall eq and NOT DO THAT!). most of you will likely need to set your CPU affinity to 1 so you only use one core, this is easy to do (thank you so much for typing this out, nilbog, as i've never had to do it for a program and wasn't 100% sure how. I will be adding this to the faq tonight/tomorrow!!), and if you have eqgame.exe set up properly it should look something like this:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme however, yours will obviously look a little bit different depending on where you have EQ installed.

If you do all this and start getting the 'error referenced at memory blahblah 00000000x12' type of thing when you are trying to run eq, the answer for that is in the FAQ. Realistically, you should really try everything in the FAQ *first* before you repost here with your results. The FAQ isn't 100% comprehensive (that's not even possible) but it is very useful and fixes most issues people have with EQ and p99. So once you've troubleshot through all that, please repost here with your results and we will work on fixing the issue.

Please include as much detail as possible when you repost. Thanks all!

I still had problems with the resolution settings on my win 8 machine after changing resolution to alot of different settings, but changing the windowed mode in the eqclient.ini filed fixed it for me.

changing windowedmode to true from false that is
WindowedMode=TRUE

win eq doesnt work for me tho however

[Amuck]

same I used the path Nilbog gave me and I am able to play eq resolutions and graphics are different it seems but runs smoother if that makes sense, Wineq2 still does not work for me. but hey im able to play. thanks everyone for the support. Good we can all come together with info to help eachother out

When I try to make a shortcut and do C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme as the target the command only options a terminal window and quickly closes it.

[Amuck]

hmmmmm

Me as well. I just did a fresh install to see if this would benefit me in any way. If i run with affinity 1, i use WinEQ with affinity 1 or i use the EQLauncher with affinity 1 the window instantly closes out. If i use multi-core affinity it loads, but of course i have the core issue and cannot play.

[Amuck]

I did .../egame.exe patchme NOT .../eqgame.exe"patchme.


I tried it the way I seen it and it wouldn't work so I tampered around and just added a SPACE between "exe" and "patchme" with no """ lol

[Not_Kazowi]

anyone figured anything else out? Does wineq not work on windows 8? My wineq is opening an EQ program in the background but it isnt popping up on the desktop

[mtb tripper]

I never really used it much man
