Windows cannot find 'eqgame'.

[Thallvier02]

This keeps popping up when i try to launch. I do not see the 'eqgame' file in the folder. I have downloaded Titanium and P99 and extracted to same folder.

Make sure you do not install in Program Files, that will prevent a lot of issues

Set the 'Start in:' to your EQ directory

[khandman]

Check and make sure your installed AV suite hasn't quarantined the eqgame.exe file for whatever reason.

This worked for me. Same issue trying to start the game with the launch titanium .bat file. So i made copy of the eqgame.exe and went in and added "patchme" to that line and BAM it worked! thank you! four and a half hours spent trying to do all sorts of things but glad it was actually a simple fix.

In response to the above reply. "made a copy" How is that done? "went in" What does this mean and how is it done? "added "patchme" to that line" I do not understand this. This is why I was hoping someone could step explain thoroughly what to do. These instructions would help someone proficient at computers but to someone that doesn't know computers it isnt helpful.

Itd be like telling someone who needed to change oil on a car who never worked on a car, "Just take out the oil pan screw and drain the oil then replace the screw, change the oil filter and pour in 4 quarts on new 10W40."

Need more detail please.

You have a shortcut for EQ on your desktop? Right click and go to Properties

Make sure the "Start in" line is set to your Everquest folder

Now after installing again trying to follow your instructions I get 2 error messages.

Everquest Windows - Application Error The instruction at 00000000010100 referenced memory at 10010010100. THe memory could not be read.

and

Problem with Shortcut. The name C:\Norrath1\eqgame.exe specified in the Target Box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.


Please help me.

Thank you,

C:\Norrath1 is where you installed Titanium? Is the above what your shortcut looks like?

[Pixio]

Looks exactly like that

[Pixio]

But it wont save. It keeps switching back to C:\Norrath1 I click on apply and it wont stay

[Pixio]

"The name C:\Norrath1\eqgame.exe patch me specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."

I am right clicking on Shortcut Properties on the Norrath shortcut folder on my desktop

[Kavious]

patchme should be one word with no space

[Pixio]

Thank you. I deleted it and am going to try again tomorrow. This is the video tutorial I am trying to follow.

How do I put the startup icon launcher on my desktop? Then I can right click it Properties to set the Target path. Right?

I DID IT!!!!!! I am the worst computer person you will ever know, but finally I am in! I think where I got in trouble is I extracated files and I was just supposed to paste it in there. Thank you for the help.

[RazzPootin13]

I may be able to challenge for worst computer person ever. I don't have a shortcut, and when I try opening Launch Titanium, I get that Windows cannot find 'eqgame' message. I don't see any eqgame.exe file, either. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you browse to engage.exe, right-click it and click send to > desktop and then edit the properties to add patches to the end, it still doesn't work?

[RazzPootin13]

I appreciate the response, and I'm sure that there's something obvious that I'm missing, but I have searched all over the place, and I can't find anything called engage.exe . No worries, I'll figure something out.

I meant to say eqgame.exe, I guess autocorrect or I screwed up.

Way, way way way too hard to get running.
I'm giving up on day two. Most people will give up on day one.

I recommend someone who wants to see new players to get a more humane way to get it running ready. I could make it a 4 day project, tackling every issue and troubleshooting every error message, drivers, etc. But there's no guarantee even that would work. Watching others play on youtube will have to do.
