I get this all the time, and I dont know how to fix it either lol.

[gotrocks]

dont use the eqemu launcher, just run eqgame.exe

let me know if that fixes your problem.

[Rumzuck]

there is a context menu when you rightclick the launcher or the systemtray, this lets you run the eqgame.exe without patching..

[gotrocks]

thanks rum, I didnt know that. I just posted a FAQ on here to answer some of these common questions, I will add that in their in just a moment so we don't have to answer the same questions over and over.

[Rumzuck]

good job on that faq

[gotrocks]

its not working for me, the same issue. I created shortcut of EQGAME.EXE, i run it as administrator or normal, and it says: Please run EverQuest.exe
And when i run Everquest.exe it says: Connection Failure. Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com

WTF? how is it possible? i started to play yesterday and it worked really fine for me... i didnt touch anything... Thanks

I swear sometimes the EQEmuLauncher is more trouble than its worth. And I can't believe all the information regarding setting up P99 without the Launcher has been removed...

Here goes:
1) Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)
2) Right-click on the eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select Create Shortcut.
3) Right-click on the Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in step (2). Select Properties.
4) In the Properties menu that appears, edit the target line to say "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select Apply and then OK to close the properties box.
5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.
8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v27, found here (http://www.project1999.org/files/eqchangesv27.zip).
9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.
10) Within the C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
11) Log into the server with the account you created at EQEmulator.org (http://www.eqemulator.org/).
12) Select Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.
13) Enjoy playing on P99.

I'm having the same issue with no resolution. Have you discovered a solution to this yet?

the person right above you posted this.

srsly guys its a tech forum, when someone makes a long response to a post it probably means there is a solution in tehre somewhere.
