Wsock32.dll file missing from p99v62 download link????

[Justin1993]

hello, I have been troubleshooting for hours on my thinkpad T420 windows 10 trying to get my game to function properly.
I have downloaded the patch on two different computers with all of my security features off like 400 times and even transferred the zip file to my old dell 530 XP to try and unzip it there and I still can't find it????
is the link corrupted or am I missing something?
any help would be super appreciated I just want to play some classic EQ lol :confused:

wscock32.dll is a standard Windows file, you can try reloading it you can use
sfc /scannow
or
replacing wsock32.dll with another one from dll-files.com (https://www.dll-files.com/wsock32.dll.html)

Isn't dsetup.dll required for EQ v62? wsock32.dll was for older version. I think we don't need this file.

wscock32.dll is a standard windows libary used for network communications.

I believe dsetup.dll is the anti cheat. Watching for processes hooking into exe. Its possible that a socket lib is bundled in this but I would think both would be needed.

its good to get wscock32.dll because a lot of games/applications use it.

Send me DM and I can assist further. I fixed a lot of friends set ups.

I'm not sure I can DM people yet as I am a brand-new account, but I did send you a friend request, I appreciate everyone trying to help =]

I am not running an extra antivirus that I know of other than windows defender.
I had disabled it completely and reinstalled titanium in my C drive games file and the patch zip before unzipping and applying it again and then adding the patchme to the launch titanium desktop icon and even added antivirus exclusions for the launcher and eqgame.exe so that windows defender wouldn't interfere... the characters I made won't show up and I keep getting the client not supported character in the login...

I can't seem to send you messages either. :(

Maybe check your profile? maybe you can enable it now or something. I'm not sure what the cool down is for new accounts.

Lets try this first. Should solve the issue with the missing dll above.

Go to
https://www.dll-files.com/download/2afbb671a865f43c0476d685dc77b4df/wsock32.dll.html?c=dElqWktYZUhJaGduRTBSSEZEdWF0Zz0 9

download that dll.

then extract that into one of these locations:

C:\Windows\System32 - For windows 64 bit. Most likely this location.
or
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ - 32 bit Windows Installations

let me know if that makes a difference. I would suggest doing a system restart after placing it here.

Just to clarify - you're attempting to connect to one of the (3) Project1999 servers with this client and not one of the (79) others, right?

Can you please attach a screenshot of the error you're seeing? You mentioned the missing file, but are able to see character select?

lol I may be a victim of my own stupidity. I was trying to play on EQ might. Blue, green and red are working fine.
Trouble shooting using AI and it didn't tell me that you can only play on blue, green and red.
It just kept telling me that you can't connect to the p99 servers if the wsock32.dll isn't present.
do I still need to download the dll file and put it in my C:\Windows\System32 like Lambparade said?
what are the other servers and how do you play on them?

Again, thank you everyone lol I have to be honest I'm getting back into computers for the first time since like 2008 so I'm not exactly the best at all this.

My dad, his friends and I used to play original EQ back when it was released up until like 2004, but I was pretty little back then and probably never leveled past maybe lvl 25.
If Theres any old heads here, you might remember an Elf cleric named Nads Dangle, that was my father's main character and Dad lived on Ever Quest for years.
I'm super exited to play again this means a lot to me seriously lol

Ahh, glad you got it sorted. It sounded likely based on your description. For the other servers, you'll have to read their descriptions and they'll tell you what client they require. Your screenshot shows it wants the RoF2 client (I believe). A lot of them have details at:

Good luck!
