Or for a short video tutorial, one of our community members made this youtube video for MAC installations

For PC Users:

After installing titanium, do not run any files. Do not patch to live. Do not click everquest.exe or eqgame.exe, or you will need to re-install.

It is recommended you do not install Everquest to your C:\program files\ folder if you are running Windows Vista or later. It is better to install everquest to C:\Everquest instead. Vista/7/8 have user account controls that can affect your ability to play the game, save screenshots, or record logs if everquest is installed in the program files folder.

1) Download the latest patch files, found here
(You can always find the latest patch stickied at the top of the News and Announcements Forum

2) Move, rename, or delete the following files from your everquest folder, or these zones will not work properly:

arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt

3) Many users will need to set compatibility mode on eqgame.exe in order to run the client. This can easily be done by locating the file in your Everquest folder and RIGHT clicking eqgame.exe and going to properties. At the top of this window there will be a Compatibility tab. Click this, and under Run in Compatibility mode, select Windows XP sp3. Then click Ok at the bottom of this window.

4) Find 'launch titanium.bat' in your Everquest directory. This is the file you will use to launch everquest. If you would like to make a shortcut, you can do so by right clicking the file and clicking 'send to desktop (create shortcut)'.

5) Double click 'launch titanium.bat' to run everquest. Enjoy!
