Can't Get game to start
 

First time trying to get p99 to work, long time EQ player from long ago. Anyway, i've tried just about everything i can think of and every suggestion i could find on here and no luck. I checked out the dbg file in my folder and it reads as follows:

2019-09-28 18:17:19 Starting EverQuest (Build Oct 31 2005 10:33:37)
2019-09-28 18:17:19 Timezone: UTC-6h00m
2019-09-28 18:17:19 Loading graphics DLL.
2019-09-28 18:17:19 Parsing INI file .\eqclient.ini
2019-09-28 18:17:19 INI file .\eqclient.ini loaded.
2019-09-28 18:17:20 Unable to load EQGraphicsDX9.DLL (126)
2019-09-28 18:17:20
2019-09-28 18:17:21 Initializing timers.

I've tried turning off my firewall and starting and i get the same thing. I also cannot for the life of me find the eqclient.ini file anywhere on my computer, not in the EQ folder or in users/app data. Nowhere.

Open to any suggestions, thanks. I'm running windows 8.1

Forgot to mention the 2 errors i get when trying to launch. First is a windows system error "exception processing message 0xc0000135 and then windows application error memory cannot be read.

same issue after applying patch v50

eqgame.exe-System Error

"the code execution cannot proceed because DSETUP.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this this problem"

Make sure your antivirus didn't quarantine the dsetup.dll It shows up as a false positive because it uses themidia encryption
If you know how you can add an exception for it.

Uninstalled McAfee and still getting the error.
As far as i can tell windows defender is not quarantining the file.

WIndows 10

I reinstalled v50 and now it works.

Hi there, I am using McAfee antivirus. Is the only way to do this reliable to disable my protection, perform the extraction, then re-enable? I went into my quarantine and restored the file, then when I tried to run the LaunchTitanium exe my McAfee re-quarantined DSETUP.DDL.

Thanks!

Never mind - I figured it out!

Don't be that guy who figures it out and doesn't tell anyone what he did, jesus fuck.

Good point. It is in settings under "Real-time Scanning". You can add files to exclude from the normal scans (which would occur when you attempt to run a program). Adding the DSETUP.DDL file to this excluded list and then re-downloading and extracting the patch fixed the issue.

Thanks for the kick in the butt!
