Returning player here

So I decided to return back to the game after 2 years after hearing about the new release of server green. I got quite excited and decided to reinstall the game.
So I did the same procedure as usual. Install the 5 discs and everquest titanium. Then I extracted the new files to the everquest.
Then after that I forgot how to actually start the game... Also apparently we dont have to take the 5 files out anymore that we used to?
Back then what I did to play the game was open eqgame while adding "patchme" to its directory but now it doesnt show that so now I dont know how to open the game
If anyone could help that would be cool.
Thank you!:)

I have a similar problem. I went to LaunchTitanium and it says Windows can't find eqgame.

Where did you install it at? Sounds like the OS doesn't understand where the exe is and just gives up.

It could be in a folder that EQ doesn't normally look at to launch.
It could be in a folder that your user ID on your computer does not have administrator rights to.

God I hate windows 10. Ok I right clicked and told it to run as administrator and it did the same thing.

Yes, but the folder that your EQ executable is in could be admin only rights.
Where is your executable? For instance, mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest

Mines in the same file, I have administrator rights. I did the thing about making the shortcut and the .txt file and it still doesn't work :(

Your installation confuses me. You still need to pull out the files to hear the correct classic music and there should have been a shortcut after installation that you could have clicked on to launch the game. You can also launch the game by clicking the executable in the Everquest folder.

Outside of that, maybe download and install Duxa's all in one and see if that helps..

There were posts in the Duxa thread over the last few months claiming issues with download links.

Great thank you. Blue works, green doesn't. It looks like I need some more files for green.

You don't need "more files" to play green. You need a different installation folder and a different patch to play green.

Ok I got in with the all in one but now I can't go full screen or access my options to change keybindings or spell book to memorize my spells. I followed the insturctions to go into one of the INI files and change windowmode=true to false and I specified my screen size. But for some reason every time I click on anything it nopes out and turns back into a small window.

Use "Launch Titanium".

And you can create a shortcut for Launch Titanium and change the name/icon for extra immersion.

YOu have to change the value from FULL to Windowed, have the resolution as low as you can in the ini file and also play in windowed mode while playing.
