Under Vista: Right click the shortcut Matt had you make, go to Properties, and then make sure the Target box reads:
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme
Just copy and paste from that code box if you need to.

Go to your EverQuest folder.

Find the eqgame.exe file.

Right click it, choose 'Copy'.

Go to your desktop and right click; choose 'Paste Shortcut'.

Right click the icon that was just created, and go to Properties.

Find the target field, and paste in what I had above.

If you really can't figure it out... I made a shortcut for you.

Right click save (I don't know if it'll work without you making it, but eh, worth a shot.)

Click

And if you get errors after that, use Windows Explorer (Start menu, Computer) and find your EverQuest directory that way. It may not be in the location we said it is.

Earlier in the thread, you showed G as your local disk. Is that where you installed EverQuest to? If so, then you just need to amend the target box as such:

Code:
"G:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme
Don't give up yet, we'll work with you here

Just checked it myself (also under Vista); the error you're reporting occurs if I change that path to the G drive (which I don't have) instead of the C drive (which is where it is).

So just do the above and you should have it.

If you made it to the login screen for live, you probably patched at least some files. You need to have a completely unpatched installation of EQ Titanium for it to work with the emu.

If you create a shortcut to your desktop to your eqgame.exe, you can right click on it and go to properties. Then all you have to do is add patchme at the end of the "Target:" line outside of the quotes.

No, just double click your shortcut. As long as you created an account on these forums to login with and you setup your eqhost.txt file, you should be able to play just fine.
