Coming to p1999 from SoD, please advise
Hey guys, I was wondering what I have to do to play p1999 after having playing SoD (Shards of Dalaya). Do I need to reinstall the game? I don't have my original CDs. Any tips would be very helpful. Thank You!

Complete reinstall is required. SoD patches like everything to a completely incompatible level.
Get one of those perfectly legal torrent things!

1. Copy your entire SoD EQ directory into a new place on your hard drive - the entire directory structure - lock, stock and barrel.
2. Uninstall EQ from it's original location. 3. Install EQ again from Titanium disks. 4. Follow the getting started instructions on the P99 site to get set up and running. If you do it this way and make a new shortcut for SoD, you can play both games from the same machine - even simultaneously if you like. I kept SoD alive so I can do this, which I did at first. But Project 1999 ultimately attracted me more and I pretty much never log into SoD anymore unless the P99 server is down.

Thank you, mwatt...I feared that's what I would have to do.
I actually only played SoD for a little bit (over 2 years ago). I mean, the game is fine, it's just that I found I can't be dedicating a lot of time to these games at this point in my life. My playing of p1999 will be very casual; I hope that everyone on this server doesn't just twink out their lower level characters and rush to the end game content. I'd really like to see a rule against that if possible (although I realize this isn't the place to talk about it).

Install fresh Titanium copy then use the installer in my signature to get it up and running with P99. Should be good to go in a few click no need to do anything manually.

Well, I did exactly what you said, and it gave me a "the referenced memory can not be read" message when I tried to log into the server.
When I first try to run the game it also says "We recommend you download the version 8185 NVIDIA Drivers before playing Everquest." My drivers are the most up-to-date, though. Does this mean I need to scale back my drivers to an older version to play the game? Are these two problems related?

You can run the installer and pick option (6) and try selecting Windowed 1280x1200 see if error goes away. if it does, make sure you chose the right resolution when you set it up initially.

Thank you very much, that fixed the problem. I wish I was able to play in non-windowed mode and the original screen resolution, though. Will that ever be possible here or is it something that is simply incompatible with my computer?
