Returning player, new problems!

[lavit2099]

So I haven't played P99 in a while but after finding a streamer streaming it, I figured what the smeg? I'll reinstall my Titanium and play again. I get it installed, rush here to get the latest patch files (since EQEmu Launcher no longer works/is supported). Open EQ, and what happens? I get the EQ cursor, but just a black screen. I've tried every tip/trick suggested on EQEmu's page, as well as the stuff in the FAQ here. I reinstalled, same effect.

I'm using a shortcut to eqgame.exe on my desktop that looks exactly like the path shown in the FAQ here, including the patchme at the end. Nothing. It's running as admin, in compatibility mode (xp sp 2). Anyone got any other ideas for me to try?
