I should note that it took about a minute to startup - got the flash of the cmd prompt window appearing and then lots of disk activity. Probably because it's loading off a 5400RPM drive, or the 1.6GHz Atom cpu. Have you tried launching it (after killing any EQ process, or rebooting) and just waiting a while?

That's great to hear! I did the exact same setup and also waited 5-10 minutes. If my Windows 98 try doesn't work, I'll do a format/reinstall and give it another try. Did you do anything besides install Titanium and copy the latest patch notes over and run "Launch Titanium.bat"?

No, just installed from ISO and then extracted the zipfile. This isn't a clean XP install though - I used this thing for a couple years and it has numerous old games on it. There's a high possibility something I did to get Klingon Academy (picked that one because I remember it requiring some custom dx9 files) working is also affecting P99. I'm looking for the post I used to get KA working since they both released around the same time period.

Pretty sure this was it, but it's just a dx9 file in the KA directory so that wouldn't be impacting P99:

My XP is mostly patched - it popped up asking to install 92 updates so I'm guessing it was last used about a year before support for XP dropped. Not sure what patch level you're running, but if it helps I'm obviously not running the last patch bundle.

Awesome thanks! I actually have been trying to get KOG running anyways as I love Elite Force. Q'apla!

I'm slowly working through getting all my Trek games running on my current Win10 system. Bridge Commander works great (but I can't get it to run windowed), Klingon and Starfleet Academy are iffy (sometimes they fire up fine but then crash randomly mid-mission which is very frustrating). Haven't tried Elite Force or EF2 yet. Been poking at ST: Armada II lately.

Note - all of these work fine on that eeepc. That's why I'm thinking something I did to that is also affecting p99's ability to run. Keep working on the Trek games and I'm sure you'll have p99 running as well!

So I tried Windows 98 and got the unsupported dll error due to the anticheat, gave up on that. I tried Vista and I get a "illegal instruction 0xc00001d occurred in the application 0x6f34add6". I am about to give up at this point. I'm a little sad considering this is called Project 1999 and it can't seem to handle a computer/OS from 1999. :(

Another Quillmane poacher reveals himself through social media.

Lol yup - I'm bound there from the last time I tried camping her a couple weeks ago. Every time I leave SK I get a couple zones away and then someone dies in Paw and I end up gating back.

Tried putting together a few hunting groups for her, but other than the initial one I've had no luck.

A lot of the random "client fails to launch" errors are related to screen resolution. Have you tried editing the eqclient.ini under the [VideoMode] section, enabling windowed mode, and setting it to something straightforward like 800x600?
