Patcher gets to _verquest.exe and wont load

Error: Could not download file

What did i do wrong?

[MiRo2]

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

[Reiker]

Guides. Read them.

[eqdruid76]

Guides. Update them.

Guides. Update them.

First, Follow steps 1-5 in the guide for setting up EQEmulator at the Play Guide on EQEmulator. Once you have completed Step 5 there are additional modifications you must make to play on Project 1999 without any problems.

Step 5 - Creating Shortcut
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?

[Ingrum]

PEBKAC error. Read the guide again.

[Ingrum]

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.

[Duie]

how about if you just cant log in?

[Duie]

nevermind. it was a firewall issue

[japh42]

I'm having the same problem. I followed the directions, 4 times now and the same thing.

Pukes on the file _verquest.exe.

How did you fix the firewall issue?

I installed it no problem on WinXP but this is on Win7. How do I change firewall settings?

[stonebeard22]

Make sure when you are making changes to the files you administrator. Otherwise Windows 7 won't overwrite some of the files. Did it actually save the changes were saved to the word document?

You should not be patching at all.

[japh42]

I turned off my firewall completely (Win7) and tried. Same thing.


This is what I have right now,

Error: Downloading Patcher Files

Error: Could not download to file.

Please rerun EverQuest.exe to try again.


This is what my shortcut says,

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest\EverQuest.exe" patchme


This is my eqhost.txt file, so nothing has been overwritten even after several instances of the patcher opening up.

I am on Win7 with EQ Titanium.

============================================

EDIT:
Fixed it, changed to EQGame.exe. I had avoided that due to reading somewhere to go to EverQuest.exe directly.

[Manaderf]

i had the same issue and read and reinstalled 3 times the stupid thing.... go into the everquest folder and find eqgame.exe and make a shortcut by right clicking it and put to desktop then change the path by adding patchme after what already there. then it works.:D
