Bypassing patch trouble
 

So i've trolled the forums pretty well looking for something close to my problem, and can't seem to find anything. I think my problem has something to deal with running Vista, ( Hate vista ) but anyways heres the deal... I edited my EQhost file, and when I go to edit my eqgame.exe shortcut I make the target path "C:\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme just like that, when I click apply it automatically removes the " marks from the target path, autmatically making the target path look like this C:\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe patchme


And yes.... my EQ directory isn't under program files, I moved it from there trying to get it to stop getting rid of the " 's .... even have an EQ directory on my D drive :|Any help would be appreciated! :)

I run vista, works fine. Try this, go into your EQ folder, right-click on eqgame.exe and select send to-->Desktop (create shortcut). Then right-click on that new shortcut and go to properties and simply add patchme to the end.

It still keeps taking away the " marks.... do you have Vista service pack 1 installed?

So I guess a file named starteq in my eq directory with the line
start eqgame.exe patchme
would work... but I don't know how to save the file as a .bat file... when I go to save as type, the only options available are .txt and all files?

please help a retarded kiddo?

just rename it eqgame.bat after you save it

Never tested this on Vista but you could try download this, put in EQ directory and make your shortcut from this. *don't add the patchme stuff to this shortcut

Found out how to make the .bat file and it worked perfect..... thanks for all your help :)
