EQ not detecting new spell files QQ, can't play

[Burdoc101]

Copy, pasted and replaced files directly into EQ directory with v41 and keeps showing that my spells are not up to date on the character screen. I have used winEQ to launch the game before and haven't really "touched" anything, until the latest patch, since it just worked. (I was even playing this morning before everyone had to log off due to the patch). Every time I try to launch via the bat file it brings up "windows cannot find 'eqgame.exe'..." and etc. Any help or advice is appreciated.

Getting the same issue, I am currently reinstalling.

[Jkbeezy22]

Is there a way to reinstall without having to jump through all those hoops needed to play 1999?

[qety20]

yeah I'm also lost as hell. anyone lend a hand?

[Jkbeezy22]

WOOT. Got it boys. When extracting files from new p99, mine was default not putting them into eq folder but making its own folder instead. I might be wrong but in previous patches, i am pretty sure it automaticly unzipped into the right folder. Lemme know what happens

[qety20]

fixed it .. and my toons are gone.

[Jkbeezy22]

hmmm, diff server on accident?

[qety20]

Checked. correct server. can make a new toon. log and come back to the new toon. but my toons are gone

[qety20]

oh wait no! spell files outdated again... wtf.

[qety20]

Re un-ziped restarted. and then back to where I started with.. no toons but can login

[qety20]

fixed. gtg

Im still having the same issue. I have even manually replaced spell files but it continues to tell me spell files are out of date. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have multiple folders with p99 and had to find the correct area that winEQ 2 was pulling from. After a tiny bit of time, really like 2 minutes, reading the user guide for winEQ 2 I traced it back to the folder that I have the working p99 folder at and copy/paste/replaced and bob's your uncle I was playing again.

I forgot to finish my post above, but my suggestion for those still having trouble is to make sure they are accessing p99 from the folder they updated.
