Can't log in after v31 patch

[One Tin Soldier]

Ok, I'm having problems after this patch. I have gotten as far as the character select screen but can't log in. I have one specific question I need answered if someone would help me.

When I was looking around I noticed that within my everquest folder there is a file <eqchangesv21>. Ok, should that be there? Should I delete it? The thing is it's been there since 2012 so it seems like if it was causing some problem it would have come up before this. But I don't know. I'm an idiot with this stuff.

Edit: I pulled that v21 file out of my EQ files and set it on the desktop. I tried to log in about 3 times and finally got one of my guys logged in. Haven't done anything with him yet. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm like a monkey banging at a car engine. If I did something right it was pure luck.
