Error 1001

[Mylozen]

I decided to check out P99 but I am getting close to giving up on it. I've installed EQ twice, it is directly on the C drive and not in the Programs folder. I've installed the emulator and followed all the instructions on the getting started page. I am able to launch the server list and select the server but when I reach the point where I enter my password all I get is Error 1001 : Could not connect to the Everquest Server. Please try again shortly.

I am aware that the server has been having issues but I haven't been able to make it any further than this and it has been a couple days of trying at random intervals. Anyone have any advice or is this simply an issue with the server?

Right now, if all was as it should be, you would be getting

Error : 1017 Cannot login to the EverQuest Server.
You many need to re-run the Update Patch.

etc..etc.

If not mistaken Error 1001 is when you're trying to connect to the real/live EQ servers and it can't because you've made the changes with EQEMU.

Since you've already used the launcher to update your local files specifically for us with P99 server, then try this taken from EQEMU page to bypass the launcher.

Step 5 - Creating Shortcut
Now, you will need to create a shortcut to launch EverQuest and bypass the EQLive patcher (if this step is not taken, you will launch the patcher and overwrite the EQHost.txt file that you just modified, making you connect to the global EQLive Login Server). To do this, go into your EverQuest directory. Locate the EQGAME.EXE file. Right-click on the file and select "Create Shortcut." You can rename this shortcut and drag it anywhere you'd like (most people like to put it on their desktop). Now, right-click that shortcut and select Properties. In the target box, you will see the path to the eqgame.exe file. We need to edit this so that it will pass an argument to that executable when the shortcut is launched. At the end of the text box (after any parentheses), add "patchme" (no quotes). Your target box should look similar to this:

"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme


Or if you do not have spaces in the path, it will look like this without quotes:

C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe patchme
