After updating to P99files53 - unable to connect to server

[Baszil44]

Patch Steps -- Patch was from Here https://www.project1999.com/ - top of page

Applying the Patch
Download the most recent patch (see above)
Open it up (the patch file is a "zip" file, ie. a file containing many files)
Extract every file in the patch zip file into the EverQuest installation directory, overwriting any existing files. (Again, if you don't overwrite you will keep the wrong versions of files.)
Once that is completed, the following files must be DELETED or MOVED OUT OF the Titanium directory (ed: is this still true?):
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
Failure to delete these files will result in problems accessing certain zones.

Used the Same Titanium launch.exe i have always used

Will get an error about being unable to connect to the patch server

if that error does not appear - will just bounce me back to the login screen

Im possibly missing a Step -- any help would be appreciated

Can anyone give me some next steps

thanks
