Last warning!
 

Do not patch EQ unless

1) You have a backed up copy of the directory
or
2) you dont want to use EQEmu for a while.


For those of you that dont have the hard drive space to backup the whole directory, you can backup only these files and EQ should work fine with EQEmu (after you copy them back to EQ directory).

NOTE: If you only backup these files and not the entire EQ Directory, you will no longer be able to get technical support for EQEmu. Always backup the ENTIRE EQ directory whenever possible.

EQ files will NOT be given out. Anyone found to be asking for, or giving out EQ files could get banned.

SO any ETA on a fix?

Had to uninstall EQ, don't want to patch until there's a fix...

4 months

sweet just enough time to poor some coffie!!

I mix my coffee with a packet of hot chocolate and a little vanilla extract..

u know guys if u have the extra 3 gig y not just make 2 EQ folders rename on to EQemu and use them sepretly so u dont have to wory about patching and such //shrug just my 2cp

Take a look at http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?p=27107 for some simple batch files to automate the partial backup and restore.

So is that "4 months" in Engineering terms or "4 months" real time?

/sarcasm off

8)

I bet it's "4 months" in EQ time

hmn well what about us people who dont have the files in the first place? I just installed EQ for the first time....

Nothing you can do.. you decided to join EQEmu at the worst time in 3 months hehehe.

EQEmu is "between patches" and will not work with current patch until it is fixed.. no eta

Bah!Bahh?! BAH!...

No ive seen worse, remember back about a year and a half ago (rough estimate) it took 2 months (yes, REAL months, maybe a little less) for eqemu to be fixed from a eq patch, your in for the long haul now

damn i have the same problem too :cry:

Well, I patched recently and was able to use the EQEmu servers rather simply last night... it was great. Just check out the IRC channel to find out details.
