Ok, so I patched the Aug 26th patch and got 1017. I decided to wait patiently for the new version.
But then I remembered another computer in my house has EQ installed and patched pre-Aug 26. So I load eqemu the same way I normally do:
Change eqhost.txt to this:
[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
Then create a shortcut of eqgame.exe to desktop and put the word 'patchme' at the end of the command line in Properties after a space.
Now, I still get 1017 as if I have patched Aug 26 on that computer, but I haven't. Any suggestions?
