I was having trouble and completely un-installed and re-installed everything. Anyway, I click on the Start.bat and a couple windows flash so fast that I cant see them. Here are the error logs:
---------------------------------------------
[08.22. - 16:39:08] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world_3516.log
[08.22. - 16:39:08] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1045: Access denied for user 'eq'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
So then I also used the cmd line to try to get world.exe to start that way, after reading about the thousandth+ post on here....
Any idea's what's going on?
