Default Determinging Steam Build Date
I did a backup of my steam EQ F2P installation folder 3/8/2014. How do I determine if it is the build 5/10/2013 or not?

Thank you!

Might be able to go by eqnews.txt. Mine shows the latest news entry at the top as May 15, 2013, and I did my download this April.

As long as you don't patch it, it should still be RoF2. But you can tell from the version number printed in the Logs/dbg.txt file. It will say something like "[Sat Jun 06 15:40:08 2015]00000:Starting EverQuest (Built May 10 2013 23:30:0"

There are also some tools that will tell you the version of the exe.

Hey demonstar55!

Looking now.

==original msg===
eqnews doesn't appear different between to different backups. However, running a md5 hash I am seeing different files in the sub-directories. <-- ignore this. one of the two installation is suspect.

Too funny. I thought maybe you were having too good of a weekend for I couldn't find a /log much less a dbg.txt. My backups of everquest have never been used thus no logs--separate workstation used to backup steam.

executed eqclient.exe, closed it, and got this:
[Wed Jun 06 14:48:05 2015]00000:Starting EverQuest (Built May 10 2013 23:30:0


Woot!

Not seeing a missing files for RofF2 on the wiki. Suggestons, please.

Thank you, demonstar55.

I am going to retract my earlier statement regarding the usefulness of eqnews.txt. It may be a perfectly valid check, I don't honestly know.

The other installation is suspect. It is possible I had data corruption at some point on that data. Matter of fact, going to delete it so there are no unpleasant surprises at a later date. Besides, I have what appears to be a good known backup.

Thank you for the suggestion.
