The game client will only connect to the EQEmu server list if it has the "patchme" parameter passed to it at runtime, which can only be configured through a shortcut or a batch file - eqgame.exe is the client executable itself, which is why it lets you configure compatibility settings and such, while Launch Titanium is a batch file that runs eqgame.exe with the "patchme" parameter.

Right-click eqgame.exe to create a new shortcut and call it whatever you want, and then configure it as such:

Also, make sure you do not have EQ installed in Program Files.

This is the button i am referring too. If you notice the compatibility button; this is where i have to check the box that says 640x480 and also the run as administrator. Is this how yours is checked or do you have one of the other boxes checked? I'm not tech savvy so i don't know what the other box choices are for.

I added the patchme and now this button launches the game. Now if you can help me figure out which of these other boxes under compatibility I need to have checked so that I can uncheck the 640x480? that is so damn annoying to have my screen blow up like it does during launch. Your help is most appreciated.

remove Eq from your program folder and change all the eqclient.ini resolutions again.

Make sure you have not accidentally installed Everquest to its default path, Program Files. That fucks a lot of things up if you do that.

Move the folder to your C drive.
After all of the posts in this forum about not installing to the default path how is this still a thing?
