So is it because I have a bad install of EQ Titanium?
Or is it because of my network problem or whatever?

If the former, is it illegal to ask for files?

[trevius]

Yes, it is illegal to ask for files. The rules of the forums clearly state that. Go buy a legal copy of Titanium. Illegal copies mostly don't work, and will absolutely not be supported on these forums.

[swiftiey]

Ok its pretty clear that that isn't the problem. Someone else is having the exact same problem as me and he installed it from the discs.
Heres the thread.

We have tried basically everything we have found and it still doesn't work.

This is what exactly happens to both of us.

Start EQ Up
Login to server select
select server
get to loading screen
loading screen finishes loading
boots us back to login

Some servers don't even let us get to loading screen just freezes and brings us back to login.

I'd also like to add that I get the error 1017 without fail after failing to connect at the server selection page.

[swiftiey]

Ugh I'm terribly embarrassed why is there no edit function.
Anyway, I also want to add that this happens with every server.

[swiftiey]

FIXED!!!

I was missing the GlobalDRK file.
I got it from the free eqtrilogy.exe install sony gives out, that i had for other reasons.
I think this should be added to the list of fixes or something, because if someone who had the cds for some reason didnt have this file, then it is probably more widespread of a reason than it appears. Probably isn't allowed though, since it would be considered illegal i guess.

[swiftiey]

In addition, do NOT follow this guide (http://forums.pwnedemu.com/showthread.php?t=2556) , particularly the part that says change spells_us to spells_us.old.
For me anyway, it doesn't change the file type, just the name, and that messes things up.
I hope I help people, because this really annoyed me.

change 'Hide extensions for known types' in tools > folder options > VIEW > "Hide extensions for known types" to be able to see / change file types.

[Theeper]

You'll need to change that file if you want to play on VZ/TZ emu without wierd issues.
