I am getting this exact same error.
Ok here is what I have done. I have a zip file with all of the EQLive files current as of 03/31/03 the day before the next patch. If I use these files and then patch with EQEmu I can log in...create the characters and everything else but when I try and enter the world it boots me, and in WORLD.EXE it says something to the effect of:
Error: InflatePacket: inflate<> returned -3 'unknown compression method'
It does this after the Sending List of guilds section and then Unknown opcodes twice and then gives the above error.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now if I install straight from the CD and just run the EQEmu patcher I have all kinds of missing files, I extract those specific files from the EQArchive zip file and then repatch and run the client. It will let me log in, but before I get to the Character creation screen it just blows up. No errors no nothing, just back to the desktop.
Any Ideas?
