No eqhost.txt file

Endramada · #1 05-12-2010, 11:26 PM

I recently downloaded SoD from direct2drive and installed it. I was unable to find the eqhost.txt file in the folder so I uninstalled/reinstalled again and still I have no file. Any idea why this is happening?

The only SoD client we support is the one you can download from Steam. You can check the version of your client by opening your Everquest/Logs/dbg.txt file and posting the date that the build shows there near the top of the file.

Regardless, shouldn't the eqhost.txt file be in the folder? If I download it from steam is it possible I am going to have the same problem?

I don't know what should be in the folder from that download, since I haven't downloaded, which is why it isn't supported. We can't really support something we haven't even tried yet. I would assume the eqhost.txt should be there, but there is also a chance that they expect you just to patch that in when you first connect to Live. Steam is the only one that is confirmed to have everything we need. Though, you may soon have the option to patch to Live and play on some of the servers that keep regularly updated. We have been working on it a bit and should be able to get it mostly functional with fairly little work. Though, it will probably never be quite as bug-free and functional as Titanium or the Steam SoD is. We will see.

Just downloaded SoD from Steam, activated it and made a folder on my hard drive with the sim disk backups, how do I locate the eqhost.txt file from here?

I uninstalled Titanium awhile back and the cds are 2,500 miles away

. I entered my account and password on the proj eq site but said it wasn't found.

I can give you the characters names on my acct on EZ and proj99 if you need to verify any of it.

The conversion tool on the PEQ site only works for accounts that are older than about 6 or 8 months old. If your accounts are newer than that, they won't exist there. If they are old enough, it should work for them, but they use an old backup of the account database, so if your password has been changed in the passed 6 months or so, you will need to use your old password to do the conversion on that screen. It is probably also case sensitive, so check your User CP and make sure you are putting in your account name(s) exactly like they show up in your User CP.

My account was created in late december so it isn't old enough. I tried logging in with all the possible passwords I could have used so it doesn't look like it can be found there.
