Unable to login

[thecftbl]

I recently setup EQEMU and am having difficulty logging in. Every time I am at the login screen and I try to type in my account information it just enters numbers no letters. I have read similar forums regarding this issue and have disabled all antivirus programs on my computer and still have the same problem. Nothing seems to work is there something I am missing?

Are you saying that when you attempt to type in your username it prints out, for example, "1232183218," instead of your actual account name?

Just curious, if you open wordpad or notepad and type the exact same password, does it show there?

[thecftbl]

Yeah it just does the number strings continuously. It is odd too because it is a different number each time. I have not attempted wordpad yet but when I type in anything else while it is running there does not seem to be a problem.

You are typing in the EQ client? What version of the client?

[thecftbl]

Platinum. I used the beta launcher which seemed to work. I also check the host file and it has the correct pathway.

Just curious, what language is the client?

Try without any launcher and use the client directly.

English as far as I can tell

I just tested notepad and it works fine while eq is open. I had already made a shortcut so I could just access the client directly and that is where the number stream is happening.

You may want to try renaming the eqclient.ini file and let it build another one, just for test.

When renaming is there anything specific to rename? Also after renaming should i open up the shortcut or the emu launcher?

OK. I was just thinking that if it was set for a language that uses a character set that is different from english it would print gibberish looking text, but ironically it night still work since what you typed is still the same characters you typed.... in binary. Just LOOKS different to you. So it's possible that in that case you could go ahead and sign in (and it work) anyway. Just a thought.

Just rename it something like eqclient.bak, then open up the shortcut

I would think with it being binary it would appear as 0 and 1 but if you press the keys it goes from 0 to 9 oddly enough when I press shift it goes to the alternate characters (!@#) etc.
