Under Vista: Right click the shortcut Matt had you make, go to Properties, and then make sure the Target box reads:Just copy and paste from that code box if you need to.

lol sorry to say it again (dont mean to cause this much trouble lol) but it says the same thing "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme file couldnt be made (path and name make sure they are correct"

Go to your EverQuest folder.

Find the eqgame.exe file.

Right click it, choose 'Copy'.

Go to your desktop and right click; choose 'Paste Shortcut'.

Right click the icon that was just created, and go to Properties.

Find the target field, and paste in what I had above.

Find the eqgame.exe file. Done

Right click it, choose 'Copy'. Done

Go to your desktop and right click; choose 'Paste Shortcut'. Done

Right click the icon that was just created, and go to Properties. Done

Find the target field, and paste in what I had above Done
Result = "The name "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme specified in the target box is not valid.Make sure path name and file name are correct"

If you really can't figure it out... I made a shortcut for you.

Right click save (I don't know if it'll work without you making it, but eh, worth a shot.)

Click

And if you get errors after that, use Windows Explorer (Start menu, Computer) and find your EverQuest directory that way. It may not be in the location we said it is.

lol never mind i cant figure this out i might as well resubscribe to eq and go on a progression server would be much easier

Earlier in the thread, you showed G as your local disk. Is that where you installed EverQuest to? If so, then you just need to amend the target box as such:

Don't give up yet, we'll work with you here :)

What's the path to you EQ directory and are you using Titanium unpatched?

Just checked it myself (also under Vista); the error you're reporting occurs if I change that path to the G drive (which I don't have) instead of the C drive (which is where it is).

So just do the above and you should have it.

ok well my Everquest directory is on an external hardrive i installed it on a copmuter (thats now 7 years old and barely runs) so i moved it to the harddrive and kept it there so thats why its under G and to andrews question i think i got on EQ once only to the login screen though

If you made it to the login screen for live, you probably patched at least some files. You need to have a completely unpatched installation of EQ Titanium for it to work with the emu.

If you create a shortcut to your desktop to your eqgame.exe, you can right click on it and go to properties. Then all you have to do is add patchme at the end of the "Target:" line outside of the quotes.

ok i did this and for once it accepted it now what?

Now you log in?

well i mean do i download the EQEMU and extract the files and then try and launch eq from there?

No, just double click your shortcut. As long as you created an account on these forums to login with and you setup your eqhost.txt file, you should be able to play just fine.
