Launcher Help Needed!
 

I'm new to the emu community and can't seem to get the Launcher links to work. Is their another way to download the patch files I've tried the patch notes page and a few other things I've found in the forums with no luck so far.

What error are you seeing?

Well I can't even download the p99 launcher to update game files (webpage is down or something). I've tried to just edit eqhost.txt and eqgame.exe files myself to atleast let me play but when I log in to the server it won't let me create a character and on the character selection just says to come to the site and update my files through the launcher.

Right now, the launcher itself is having trouble connecting to its webserver. I am willing to bet that the launcher download page is related, so both problems are the same thing.

In other words, you might have to wait a little bit until their webserver is fixed. you do need to go through the launcher to get in. So try checking back later today and see.

I think I may have figured it out I had been trying to download and manually replace the files through EQChanges V26 and didn't realize they were up to V27. (just a thought but it would help to make the latest patch notes thread a Sticky.)

The web servers are definitely down. I just installed a fresh batch of EQ and I cannot connect, nor is the 'just play EQ" working without the patch. Any spots where I can just download the patches directly?

this is what I did.

Step 1. change eqhost.txt file to say this

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Step 2. edit your Everquest desktop short cut by Right clicking it going to properties and changing target to say

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme -w

Step 3. go to http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=98761 and download EQChanges V27 and copy those files into your Everquest folder make sure to replace any existing files.

I'm not sure that's the proper way to do it but that's what I did and It allowed me to gain access to the game/server. I am new though so yea.
