How exactly?

In preferences, I can change the path, but not the file it targets, so it always launches the Eq exe instead of the Launch Titanium.bat

How do I make WinEQ target the bat file instead?

I have the same question. I installed P99, and I installed WinEQ2. However, I'm afraid to launch WinEQ2, as it might launch the standard executable instead of the P99 Batch which could botch the install.

Does anyone know the proper way to utilize WinEQ2 with P99?

Here are the basic steps that have always worked for me. Hopefully it helps.

- Run WinEQ2
- Right-click WinEQ2 icon in system tray
- In the resulting window, go to "Options" > "Preferences..."
- On the left side, expand "EverQuest" > "Profiles"
- Click on any of the default profiles ("Profile 1", etc.)
- On the right, name it "P99" (or whatever)
- Click the browse (...) button to the right of the "Everquest Path" Field
- Browse to & select your P99/EQ folder and click OK
- With your Profile Name & Path now set, click Apply / OK

- Now Right-click WinEQ2 icon in system tray again
- Go to "Everquest" > and you will see your Profile available to launch from the menu
- To make a desktop shortcut, go to "EverQuest" > "Create Desktop Shortcut" > "P99" (or whatever you named your profile)

Sorry I don’t know anything about WinEQ2. I open that and p99 will be an option or something?
I’ve tried just about all the other options and nothing seems to fix it. It’s improved a little but still annoying.

You download and install WinEQ2. If I recall, you also need to sign up for a (free) account.

Once you have WinEQ2 installed, you can use it to create a custom shortcut, which will launch EQ using WinEQ2.

Great, thank you!

Installed the lite version and just by luck tried this.
Luckily I was smart enough to figure this out, but its important to note that when you create the shortcut, you have to change the "TARGET" and "START IN" to match the p99 launcher, via the properties window. I didn't see this explained anywhere but i managed to get it to work now.
No idea if the game runs better or not, EC tunnel seemed smoother at least

Thanks to the power of the Internet and this information. I also solved my question! Cool!

Hey, can I get some help with this? I just installed and I'm having some graphics lag. I tried the steps here, installed WinEQ2, tried to run it, and... nothing happens. I click "Yes" on the 'unknown publisher' window, and then... nothing.

Following Budder's advice 2 posts above, I then tried to set TARGET an START IN to my p99 launcher, and got a "not valid" error message.

When I click it again, it says "WinEQ2 has detected it's already running!" But I can't open it, can't see where it's running - it's not even showing up in my task manager.

Any advice? Thanks!
