If i understand right.

You have eqemu 0.6.2 on a linux computer
You want to play on it.
That no work, but you can play on scorpious2k.

Answer:

Scorpious2K use a eqemu 0.5.7 heavy mod by scorpious.
This server need is client compatible with 0.5.7 eqemu version.
This version isn't compatible with 0.6.2 eqemu.
You don't have right client for 0.6.2, you can't play.

Before ask how have the right client, i suggest you than read this forum :

I am on a windows platform. Sorry for the messup.

Also, I am running 0.6.2 and I have not patched since before 9/13 and I get past the logon screen, but when I come to the server select screen I get the error "Error 1017: Cannot login to the EverQuest server. You may need to rerun the Update Patch. Repeatidly seeing this message indicates a loss of conectivity to the patch Server. This is usually temporarily."

--If patching to Skorpious wouldhave caused any problems, I think I can still fix that. Any help would be much appreciated.

Ok we progress

You have a client everquest on windows
An you try to connect to the server to play.
You haven't patch after 09/13 but when have you patch ?
You need everquest software with latest patch BEFORE 09/13
Thats right ? you have this ?

if i'm right,
Are you using this playguide ? : http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=PlayGuide

I don't know if i have the patch before 9/13 but i have one before that...that could be the problem. But yes I am using that playguide.

Ok,
Check your Eqhost.txt like playguide.
Check your shorcut on eqgame.Exe like playguide.
If you can't connect on any server and you don't have the patch JUST BEFORE 09/13, your client isn't compatible with eqemu 0.6.2 and you can't play.

And next time, ask help in support section
