remove the EQ folder out of your program files folder and just into your C drive folder. Remake your EQ shortcut and try again.

[DarkwingDuck]

well, i did that now, and when i extracted it.. there were no errors or anything, it seemed to go fine..
but what do i use as a launch now?.. when i click on my
EQEmulauncher.exe- shortcut.... same thing
searching for servers 10,9,8,7,6,.....

not sutre how to get the patcher up n running agian

actually EDIT: it says error can not reach newest version, will try again in 10 seconds.

Sounds like a permission thing. What version of windows? Are you logged in as the administrator?

[DarkwingDuck]

yes i run as admin,
Windows 7, 64bit yadda yadda. have played A LOT of p99.. buthavnt in couple months.. came back and there is this little new DL.. that i cant figure out,
and the only walkthrough on it, is extract to your EQ folder.. which i have done

[DarkwingDuck]

maybe i should delete and uninstall everything.. /shrug

The emu launcher doesn't work with P99 any longer. Is that what you are clicking? I'll dig up the instructions to make a short cut on your desktop if so.

[Darkpretzel]

EQemulauncher has been depreciated, no?

[Darkpretzel]

you can right click play and choose "only start Everquest" as a stopgap measure.

[Lyra]

The patcher is no longer available.

Follow the instructions I've made red. Post with problems.

I swear sometimes the EQEmuLauncher is more trouble than its worth. And I can't believe all the information regarding setting up P99 without the Launcher has been removed...

Here goes:
1) Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)
2) Right-click on the eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select Create Shortcut.
3) Right-click on the Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in step (2). Select Properties.
4) In the Properties menu that appears, edit the target line to say "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select Apply and then OK to close the properties box.
5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.
8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v30, found . http://www.project1999.org/files/P99Files30.zip if this post is out of date, just update "30" with the current number)
9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.
10) Within the C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
11) Log into the server with the account you created at EQEmulator.org (http://www.eqemulator.org/).
12) Select Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.
13) Enjoy playing on P99.

Rogean included an amazing new file in the latest version of the patch - launch titanium.bat

Does all the work you used to have to do with the eqgame.exe shortcut for you. Just make a shortcut to the .bat file on your desktop and you are good to go.

Eqemu launcher no longer supported. Can't guarantee it will work and staff won't be providing assistance with getting it to work.
