Patch Notes, Saturday, September 10th, 2011

I'm pretty sure the -200 resist check for lifetaps is correct. They're not meant to be unresistable, just almost. With -200, you'll never get resists except against mobs that are virtually immune to magic anyway. It'll have absolutely no influence on 99.9% of gameplay.

Also, the game won't launch for me. I skimmed some pages and it's obvious that others are having the same problem, but is there a solution on any particular page? I'm not reading every post of a 17-page thread to track it down. Could we maybe get a post with the solution in server chat?

[Hobby]

I doubt anyone else wants to read a 17-page thead either.


Try making a thread in the Tech support section (which this clearly is) that way people dont have to wade through all the bullshit here.

[greatdane]

There's a thread in tech support, but the things that worked for some aren't working for others, and it doesn't even look like the problem is universally caused by the same thing.

To everyone having problems deleting wsock32 and eqgame:
If you had everquest installed in C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest don't forget that windows Vista and windows 7 has virtualstore and will put a copy of those files there.
Check C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr am Files\Sony\EverQuest
Don't forget to show hidden files and folders when looking for the virtualstore

Just going out on a limb here, but I doubt the helm graphic was intentional. Helm on/off has always been a bit inconsistent in the client, and Rogean posted somewhere that he forced Velious textures on for all clients through the .dlls

That likely forced helms on as a byproduct. It seems a bit unnecessary, since they will automatically come on when the server's expansion is set to Velious. At that point, anyone who wants to see them, will be free to take the time to dick around in their eqclient.ini

[Humerox]

If you go into options and click the helm graphic on and then off again, it will remove the graphic. Unfortunately, you have to do this each time you zone.

[Uthgaard]

The problem with that is that it's a setting that only updates when you zone. So what you're seeing applies to your client's viewport exclusively, and doesn't actually represent a change in the setting.

Any news for those of us who still can't get the game to run? We've tried all the things that have been suggested and it has been over 24 hours now.
