Unable to Load my Client

[Zziek]

I've updated the files in my EQ Titanium Directory with the latest patch files. If I attempt to run eqgame.exe, I'm provided a dialog which states 'Please run EverQuest.exe'. When I attempt to run EverQuest.exe, I'm shown a Loading Dialog titled 'Patching Everquest' which appears to be attempting to connect to a server, but after spending about 5-10 minutes trying to connect, it informs me of the following:

Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com

My network connection is fine at this point, and I have my firewall disabled to avoid flagging DSETUP.dll as a virus as this was causing trouble for me earlier. Am I missing a step in installation? I don't recall it being this complicated when I updated my client for the last patch.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I need my fix. ;)

You have AT&T?

[Doctor Jeff]

Are you starting EQgame.exe manually or from the "Launch Titanium" batch file as instructed?
start eqgame patchme

To launch the game, use the "Launch Titanium" file found in your Titanium directory (This should have been extracted from the Project 1999 Files).

Remember to NEVER launch "Everquest.exe" or patch the game. Doing this will require you to completely reinstall Titanium!

Holy crap I forgot about the batch file. Thank you so much, that has to be the problem.
