When I log out of EQ now, my PC gamma appears to be crunk up to MAX, I have to reboot my PC just to be able to read webpages now. this is AFTER version 36

[Firebaugh]

Qeynos NPC's still not in place on Red either. Sorry guys, hope you get it figured out soon!

is that because you had jacked it way up on your screen beforehand and now that it's fixed, you forgot to change it back?

because that's my bet :D

[Lagaidh]

The initial flee speed is great in Sol A now. Feels classic. Thanks!

[Kimmie]

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

[Tankdan]

Mob flee speed still doesnt seem classic, but I could be wrong.

[Clark]

Grateful for such a quick fix! Woot thanks guys.

[RedXIII]

crashing a lot on zones, also sometimes getting unknown error when i try to log into the blue p99 server... not sure if thats just with me but, all after i apply the patch 36.

[foldupmonk]

Wait so the sitting to camp thing and the standing to cast is going to stay? Am I wrong saying not classic? Been too long.

[SamwiseRed]

its classic, reported it 2 years ago.

[SamwiseRed]

why is this patch not the top sticky?

[Deadlyfury]

Don't forget this also is a fix for the gamma issue!!!! thanks guys!

[Vega]

It is odd, I didn't download or install this patch, and I can still connect and play just fine.

Me 3! Still on v35 & been logging in fine. Should I chance it & grab v36? hmmm, maybe i will to help the testing effort. :)

[Faiding]

That was a quick patch. Thanks.

[Vega]

After installing the patch, I'm actually still getting a crash when I /camp while standing.

[salimoneus]

No crash here when camping while standing. Thanks for quick updates!

[Shutt]

Looked through the patch notes for Dec. 3 and 4, but didn't see the following, any input would be appreciated. I have a 26 druid on red, whom had his track capped out to skill lvl 50. Noticed today that it is now capped out at skill lvl 20 and the 20 is red as if I had delvled to a lvl that wouldn't allow my skill to function at its max cap. Is this intended? Does it recap to 50 skill lvl when I hit 50th lvl or higher?

[Stormfists]

Really pleased to see hotfix for resists so quickly. Thanks all.

[Sampten]

I gotta give you all a shot out for all your hard work. Putting out updates isn't easy. There are bound to be bugs/problems with updates and patches. The turn around time to resolve issues here has been absolutely fantastic.

You guys are great!

[Vega]

After installing the patch, I'm actually still getting a crash when I /camp while standing.

I might have mis-installed the patch before. I tried to reinstall this morning, and then when I /camp'd I didn't crash *shrug*

Can confirm this isn't on just red, but blue aswell. I'm sure Daldaen will be pleased ;)

[Daldaen]

I'm not having these 20 tracking cap issues. Mines at 50 like intended...

[gszero]

Login servers are down for both Blue and Red servers. Servers are online but can no longer log into them to play.

[petermetzger]

I was able to still log in and play on v35 last night, but having trouble now. It lets me sign in to the server select screen but when trying to access P1999 (1) it says "An unknown error occurred while trying to join the server." I updated to v36 as a test but it's still happening.

::edit:: error comes up on all of "Legends Servers" as well

[Infumous]

having the same issue as peter ^

[Honest]

^ same issue as the guys above me. Unknown error.

I also am having this error when attempting to log in the game. I was able to log in about 4 1/2 hours ago just fine, then when I came back home am having this login issue. Dunno what the problem is.

[Honest]

UPDATE: Unknown Error

I just rebooted my system and got in without issue. If you haven't tried it, I suggest giving that a shot.

[petermetzger]

I am now able to get in without having to reboot - also found http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173742 which suggests the login server was down temporarily.

[Firebaugh]

Everything seemed to be working for me last night, I can't remember if I updated from v35 to v36 on the laptop I was using last night. Tonight I will recopy the v36 files to the correct directories in EQ, and confirm.. But Qeynos bankers and vendors seemed to be in place, and I could zone with no problems. I didn't test the boats, but hey, wanted to get some faction hunting in Qeynos and some gnoll fangs!

[Ladros]

I never installed V35 patch, just the V34. So yesterday I installed V36 patch on my laptop, logged in and everything so far is great. No more issue with gamma either. Was in EC, Freeport, Dreadlands, and Karnors.

[hilaropus]

Does anyone know if the boats have been fixed yet? Haven't tried the newest version yet.

[gszero]

The boat at Freeport works just fine. Have not tried any others.

[bill614ctown]

did you fix the fact that mobs dont run out of mana?

[OriginalQin]

Thanks guys for the fix on being able to auto-stand to cast spells and auto-sit to camp. Those things were really ruining my classic experience!

[Aviann]

Thanks guys for the fix on being able to auto-stand to cast spells and auto-sit to camp. Those things were really ruining my classic experience!

I know its tough, but there is a way to hold your mouse button over the 'Sit' action command, and you can drag it to any hotbutton slot you wish. It will allow you to easily sit or stand on command of the button of your choice. I wish you luck, kind sir.

[Akito]

Thanks guys for the fix on being able to auto-stand to cast spells and auto-sit to camp. Those things were really ruining my classic experience!

Out of all the patch changes, this is the most annoying to me! I loved being able to just hit a hotkey with my spell icon on it and cast, without having to use a sit/stand hotkey first. I ended up making a social hotkey with /stand in the first line and /cast # in the second line, but now I have to always be sure my spells are in the correct slot for each named hotkey. Just seems awfully petty when people are used to playing one way. Oy.

You'd best change that "/stand" to "/sit off" now before the nerf. The :classic: gestapo is already on the case to remove yet another horrible Luclin-era EZMode[tm] change to the hallowed user-hostility of the Classic UI.

I'm pretty sure bras is spelled with a 'b' and not a 'p'. Also, I'm wondering what women's undergarments have to do with the topic.

[salimoneus]

Ain't it easiest to just replace the stock Camp button with a social that first does a /sit then /camp ? Maybe you need a /pause in there I don't know but I'm pretty sure something like that would work.

[raborj99]

Setting up for the first time and I am getting the same errors with v36 of the files. Did you find a fix for this?

When attempting to log into the blue server to create my first char, im getting an error stating Error code SP-1

Your spells file is outdated .. I have added p99files36. Please advise what I can do to try to fix this issue.

[Kuviet]

Getting Error code DLL-2 now. Tried updating three times. Still not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not able to download this file for some reason. It keeps saying download failed, and then it finally works but won't let me open the file. Says it is damaged.

Try downloading on another pc and move it using a usb stick.

[salimoneus]

If you're having problems logging in with the latest patch, one thing to try that comes to mind might be to go back a few patches and apply them in order consecutively. So apply 34, then 35, and then 36.

Although I'm almost positive that the patches are cumulative, and should not require doing this. Perhaps for some reason it might help in this case though.

[TheSchwartz420]

Turns out trying it on another pc fixed my problem. When I tried downloading it on another pc, the virus protector notified me why it was failing, but it didn't tell me why on my pc, just failed. So i disabled my virus protector and it works. Now i'm just waiting for my copy of everquest titanium to get delivered. I tried with everquest platinum, which has the correct expansions but apparently doesn't work with p99. So i'll be waiting 5-7 more days for the delivery lol

[Vatras]

Something is going wrong here. first I lost a dsetup.dll file, now my spellfiles arent up to date (they are) and cant download them again.

[Kella]

Having same problem as above people. dsetup.dll missing. Anti-virus turned off atm. Played last night just fine. Not sure what to do seems to be a few others having same issues today..?

[Kella]

Nm sorry. Turned out to be mcafee free trial crap on new pc. I never activated or used it ever but that was still causing my problem. Once I removed it & repatch all is good.

[Hitmonlee]

My anti-virus was disabling the DL and the dsetup.dll file because it has a trojan attached to it(at least in the name). Try turning off Anti-Virus.

[Hitmonlee]

Ugh, still not working.

File is flagged as a GenericTrojan. I take the setup DLL out of Quarantine and turn off anti-virus then try to launch the game and I get a different error code that the game failed to load.

Prior to that, it was launching but saying spell files were outdated. WTF.

turn your anti virus off and re download the patch and extract it to your EQ folder then try playing. Dont just unquarantine the file.

THIS! I can finally play again!

Even with this, once I turned my anti-virus back on, I still had to recover the file through my anti-virus's controls. Whatever is in this latest dsetup.dll, antivirus no likey!

Its not that antivirus doesn't like it, its that AV does not know what it is and cannot verify what it is, so it blocks it for "safety".

@Rogean (or any other dev/guide)

Ages ago I got a second bracer of hidden from a mob in LoIo. I juggled them because it was lore and a kind ogre offered to help me hold one till I could get an alt out there.

I lost the bracer to the exact cursor bug/s you have now acknowledged/fixed. [In the previous patches notes IIRC] I couldn't loot the second bracer or "drop" the vanished-until-zone-out one. So I lost this high value item. I made a post in the bug forum. It got marked as resolved. Made another with mods permission and I think they said it was a game mechanic so I wasn't eligible for "reimbursement" IIRC. But here it's been acknowledged as a legit bug?

Any chance this could be reviewed?

[AtlasMinor]

Patch v.36
Only ran into 1 problem after applying the patch and have been trying to figure it out since yesterday morning since im new to EQEmu.

Found it. My ver of titanium is base, fresh install with no mods/plugins,ect...

Hotbars.
EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml
This file either does not match up with my fresh install or im missing something that was added to titanium prior to my version. I did however make a backup of the UI_Folder and used the original EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml and it worked with the rest of the newest v36 patch extracted and in all the right places.

Thought i would submit the feed back.
# Using the LiveServer EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml will cause a UI_interface crash and log it in logs, will not work.Just thought i would mention that to let anyone else know they might be reinstalling if no backup's are found.

*EDIT* Fixed the entire problem since i had a backup fesh titanium install on my HDD, solved this by clearing / deleting all conetents of the default.Folder loctaed in the uifiles folder, but did not delete the folder itself, just the contents. COPIED over the fresh files into the default folder Then reapplied the patch and the entire patch worked including the hotbar fix. Have all 4 old style hotbars, big clunky never needed that many square boxed hotbars.... Should really grab a custom UI but non of them feel right to me.

Great job guys, all the work you guys have put into this is awesome and really the only thing a person has to do is mess with the ui, which is no big deal, not sure yet what people are using for a UI.

Is it missing? If so, check your virus-scanner's quarantine and/or copy it from the assets package again...

[DavidSherwin]

New, not yet made a toon yet.

fresh install followed all instructions to the T.

First install I got the error wrong spell file, I read a couple of posts saying it could be a false positive just keep tying to relog and it will go away... after about 20 log in attempts with the same result i reinstalled..

This time I used Duxas install program after another fresh install of titanium. Then I copied (and replaced) the files from the V36 patch. i get to char select now i get a different error "change zip"

I feel like this is progress any suggestions?


Edit: going to try the whole disable antivirus thing and try to recopy a new DL of the v36... hoping for the best


Edit: well i'll be damned that worked... good to know

[DavidSherwin]

Mcaffee users you are in for a treat. you can exclude a file/folder from a custom or regular scan BUT you can not exclude a file in real time scan.. that means until you turn real time scanning off that bitch will delete your file seconds after unziping it every time.

[herb_gotti]

what did i do wrong? ever since i extracted these files it, eq WILL NOT open. it will seem like it's loading then just close itself... help...

[herb_gotti]

i fixed it... i had to re extract the files into the folders... Dunno but it opened now... lol i'm so tech savvy.
