1800 online tho is pretty impressive!

You probably didn't download the Quarm dll and paste it into the folder.

Get it here

Man, I've been trying for hours to download the client with no luck. The download is disabled. How is everyone else getting it? Is there an alternative download?

Sorry but this isn't the first go around. The entire point of the server was that it's a single-box alternative to TAKP in a client that's not a complete and utter mess of a hackjob. And it's been in beta for how long now? Simple things like "chaging resolution without the game closing itself on you and resetting your changes" shouldn't be an issue anymore. A simple thing like a game resolution change shouldn't require ini modifications from the end user, and guess what? You'll never change my mind about that no matter how hard you want this server to be a success. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For the client? Yup! I agree. Though, TAKP players have played on this exact client for years. The crash in particular is related to dgvoodoo, not the game, though.

Unfortunately we need to stay within Daybreak's good graces, so we are having to follow the similar policy on client distribution that P99 has - that is, you have to acquire it yourself and configure it yourself. If that's too hard, well, I understand your plight.

That's why we're moving over to the Evolution client long-term. I'm not happy about the state of the TAKP client, either, and over the next 6 months we'll be adding support for Evolution which should handle device resets natively, and also contain the "EQ Cam" patch that was introduced in LoY that stayed all the way through Titanium.

lol thats funny because once it got to about 2k the loginserver stopped working.

FUrthermore the client is every bit as trash as TAKP. Guaranteed in 3 months it's less popular than TAKP. What a shitshow. Guess those of us who have been dreaming for a pop-era server with a stable, functional client will have to keep waiting

This crash was on the TAKP codebase since its inception. I wrote the netcode a decade ago when I was still learning how to code, so I've since modernized the handling of the old netcode stream proxies in under 2 hours last night.

The result was a fix for memory corruption and a memory leak that resulted in both the loginserver and worldserver crashing under extreme load. They would've never found that without PQ's help, and now long-term, there's another huge fix for EQMac's emulation by proxy.

I suppose it's hard to really scope this stuff when you aren't working on it, but I figured I owed you an explanation of why it took 2 hours to unwind code from 10 years ago.

You can also see the commit that fixed it here:
