Do not Patch!! - Page 2

ndnet · #16 03-26-2004, 12:48 AM

I'm patched to live (Mar. 25th) and run fine. Many of the updates to the client lately are in the graphic side of things, which is also causing quite a few system crashes.

As an additional note, EQW is now updated to work with the latest patch.

im confused. image says not to patch, yet people are saying they have no problems patching. i dont want to do anything i will regret since i dont have enough space to make a backup of eq. Are the current eqemu servers working with this patch?

They changed a few things actually nothing that is going to majorly hurt you, their sky (along with weather patterns) have changed, so if you patch to live the game will be rather foggy for you :P

I just got EQemu up and running, however when I try to log into a server I get "EQgame.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" - Im unsure of what to do about this, however I HAVE been able to log into a server 2 out of the prolly 80 attempts...Is there a way I can fix this?

Much thanks

I'm waiting for Intel to exchange my CPU so I can't test for the moment...
but what I know is that EQEmu servers don't want to run with
Sonys latest update on EQ??

so... what for me to do??
I don't got any EQ that is before the patch...

I mean... I got all the packaged and so on CDs...
but I don't got it on my puter... so when I install and start
it will automatically patch right??
Don't remember that much =/

well anyways... hope you got me any answers

Im just gonna wait until the OK is let out to patch.

I've heard from a lot of people that they can still play EQEmu with patch if they use the eqgame shortcut and add patchme. I think EQW released a new version that works with patch too so that should work also. If you have no other options then just go ahead and patch and see if you can get it to work. Only way to find out for sure.

ok... EQW = Everquest World ?
where to find that then??

sorry for my questions...

but I'm pretty new

<<- *check the newbie* :p

EQW = Everquest Windows

Its a program for people that 2 box on EQlive. It automatically adds the patchme to the end of eqgame.exe so it can be used to play EQEmu too.

oh ok thank you

Patched to 29/03, replaced eqhost.txt and can connect fine to 5.5 servers. Have DX9, everything works fine no crashes. Also on nVIDIA Chipset, needed a graphics driver update but that's all.

toffie · #28 03-29-2004, 07:28 AM

ok... just stupid question but

it shouldn't matter what nVidia card or any other card you have??

as my GF2 Ti card don't run DX9... it still can have the latest drivers right??
I'm a little too tired to understand... :P

Jezebell · #29 03-29-2004, 07:36 AM

thats correct

RexChaos · #30 03-29-2004, 07:36 AM

If it doesn't run DX9, then I'm pretty sure you're out of luck. I think that GF2 should work though. It may not FULLY support DX9 instructions, but I think it should work for playing EQ.

But while we're on this talk of upgrades to EQ's engine...anyone else agree with me when I say that they're upgrading the WRONG stuff? The models and spell effects look good...now what about this world that looks like it was slapped together with play-doh? When are they gonna upgrade THAT!?!?
