Hi. I'm kinda new to project 1999, been playing some of it last year and had fun but after a hiatus I decided to play once again and present myself in the forums. Never really played Everquest before.

I've ran into an issue though, maybe someone out here could help me. "You cannot attach a debugger while playing project 1999". Someone suggested running it as adminstrator but I come up with another issue! "Windows cannot find 'eqgame'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

I tried downloading WinEQ, whitelisting eqgame in window's firewall and nothing. Still the same issue. :confused:

You need to turn off your antivirus software, I have the same issue, if I disable avg it goes away

Check your antivirus hasn't quarantined anything from your everquest installation?


Also ensure your shortcut is to "blahblah\eqgame.exe patchme" not just to "blahblah\eqgame"... obviously replace 'blahblah' with the correct directory path for where your everquest install is!

Had the exact same issue with the debugger - Avast was the culprit in my case

If it doesn't work after turning off your antivirus, reinstall the latest patch files to replace the file it "ate".

After that you should be fine ^^

Avast was it then. Thanks a lot!
