Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt

and i did that and all i can see is:

[Tue Jun 24 16:16:57 2014] Error validating symbol table.

?! wtf

This happens when the "default" folder and files, which are found in the uifiles directory was overwritten by the patch.

Did you happen to backup your default ui folder before installing this patch?

After I installed the patch I had the same issue, however I did have my default backed up. I deleted the patch default ui files and renamed my backup (which was renamed to default_old) to default and everything works fine

I was just giving some input as I did not know that you might have noticed that there was a patch. I read your post and saw "Did you ever find a solution?" and figured you were talking about an old issue. Combining an old issue with a new patch might have confused the issue. I am at work and have no access to the game right now so I can not help much other that point out what I have seen on the boards.

LastBoss: are you using Duxa's UI? Someone on the Duxa page is saying you have to delete a file since the admins in some weird move decided to take out colored target cons.

Should the server currently be up? I extracted the files but the client isn't working.

I just grabbed them and installed them with no problem on Linux Mint (Ubuntu), so not a code issue - just downloaded, extracted to EQ folder, and started up. Make sure you're sticking them in the right place!

Okay thanks!

I messed around some more and noticed the files just weren't extracting from winrar. I manually grabbed each file and put them into my EQ directory and it is now working.

Thanks!

I'll have to try that myself and see if it works. Hopefully it will help thread starter as well.



Valdarious: I just re-read my post from earlier and I sounded like a total ass. Wasn't my intention =). I appreciate the effort in trying to help.

No problems. I was initially having an issue with the new patch when I got home from work. I had to reinitialize my permissions to the EQ folder to set my account to full access. The files worked after that point. I have seen some weird issues from other people though.

Hi guys,

I just want to post my experience here since I found this problem exasperating.

-I had followed all the instructions on the Project1999 Guidebook only to get the "Spells out of date" message.
-I tried Duxa's All-In-One Installer, only to get the "EQChanges.zip"(ERRORCODE DLL-2) message.
-I scoured the forums for a solution with no definitive answer.

FINALLY, I stumbled on the problem...
After opening WinRAR and manually moving the P99Files33.zip files to my EQ folder, my anti-virus(Norton) popped up a warning. DSETUP.dll was marked, blocked, and removed as a Trojan virus.

This had never happened before on my previous 15ish attempts. Why I got a pop-up on this attempt, I'll never know.

What had been happening is Norton was deleting DSETUP.dll before the copy was completed. The original DSETUP.dll was still in my EQ folder, so without the pop-up I'd never know that it wasn't copied.

So I whitelisted DSETUP.dll. Copied it to my EQ folder, and re-ran EQ from my patchme shortcut. Now I'm in!

Lesson: Check your anti-virus history if you've tried everything else!


Hope this helps someone. I'm sorry for the wall of text. I'm just so happy to finally be able to play.

Thanks Project 1999 for your efforts. This old vet has been thirsting for classic EQ for a very long time...

Happy Hunting!
