EQ will not launch

[greatdane]

Yeah. It's been a couple of days now and we seem to be no closer to solving that issue. The problem is with the new dsetup.dll which doesn't work. Rogaen linked to a different one, and while that worked for most, it didn't do anything for some of us. If I use the original dsetup.dll from the disc, I can get to char select where it tells me my spell files are outdated. If I use either of the new ones, I get 0xc0000096 or 0xc000001d, seems to change back and forth between the two error codes. I hope the lack of resolution means they're busy figuring it out.

I am having the exact same issue as greatdane.

I DID get it to work on my laptop. So I tried a fresh install of everything. Still cant find the client and crashing with the appl error (0xc etc).

I have no started using the Emulauncher to start the game, I also loaded Duxa's all in one installer and tried that. He updated for this patch and it worked fine on the laptop install.

Current machine is running
ACPI x64-based PC
AMD 760G vid chips
ATI Radeon HD 5700 series vid card.
AMD Phenom II X6 1035T processor

Thanks Rogean

So it's possible that it works with a 32-bit OS but not 64-bit. It's a clue, at least.

[Wanderfar]

OFG! I FIXED IT.

Researching the error code I found how to review the event log. There is was telling me my Spyware Dr anti virus program was causing the termination. So I shut that down, repatched thru Emulator but rather then launch from the emulator, I just launched the program like usual. PRESTO. I am in the game.

I play on the Project 1999 server, Wanderfar. Hope this works for you guys too!

[greatdane]

Huh, yeah. BitDefender apparently fucked it up as well, and it's kinda tricky to shut that off. There's an option that looks like it disables the anti-virus, and I tried it without any luck. Deeply buried in a bunch of sub-menus was a way to actually desable the entire thing and that did it. Hah.

[Treats]

Glad you guys got this figured out.

Tried getting on EZ server, that patched through the launcher and loaded up just fine.
