It's making my game crash when I zone from Neriak to Nektulos, and I can't log into the character who's now stuck in Nektulos.

Think this is happening in most zones. Had the same when zoning from Steamfont > Lfay.

This is the error I get when the client crashes :

Maybe it is because you guys put the folder "old" in as well.

That has nothing to do with it and it happens either way.

It has everything to do with it. The ''old'' folder isn't supposed to be in the new patch file so you obviously extracted the ''old'' folder into your existing EQ folder along with the rest of the patch. You wouldn't be having this problem otherwise.

So how do you fix the problem if you unzipped the entire thing in your everquest folder?

I prompted it to rewrite the old and dll, all of it. Now crashing continuously as i tried to zone into feerott

If you just dropped it all in then it shouldn't cause problems, but you can always delete the "old" folder I guess. Otherwise just extract dbstr_us, spells_us, dsetup.dll and the global load file (in the resources folder)

Edit: May not want to take my advice, I extracted everything perfectly but still crash every time I attempt to log in.

Crashing here as well when attempting to enter world from character select.

They extract as a separate folder with the old versions of the dll and the spells file. The new V16 counterparts are included in the patch and extracted directly into the Everquest directory, doing their job. Having the old ones in a folder by themselves does nothing at all. It's like backing up your UI files or something. You can delete them and nothing happens, nor does it fix the problem. It's just a backup of the old files and they don't do anything as long as they're in a separate folder, no matter where that folder is. It has nothing to do with the crash problem.
