error 1017 ...the latest patch version?

[reuben420]

I know that this problem is beat to death, but I was wonderin which patch version is supported with the latest version of eqemu. the last few days I have been tring to make my own server using minilogin.....Im gettin the 1017 error as soon as I try to login to the server ....
I get a server list and I pick my local server and hit connect and bam I get the famous 1017 error...
I have read all the 1017 posts and done all of the things in the posts....I am a computer tech so its not that I dont know about computers because i do.
So im guessing that it is the the version of the patch that I have....the only cd that I have of EQ is Kunark, when I tried to use just that I wasnt even getting to pick a server, all that would happen is I would get booted out ...after I put the user name and password. Then I patched to the latest patch last night and now with out changing anything on the server I can login and see the server in the list . I pick it and ...well you know the rest.
On the server I see the connections coming in ok...

So ummm whats the deal...can anyone offer some kinda help...please

can I just use kunark with out patching at all? Or could I get an older patch from some where? Is anyone else having the same trouble?

thanx

Read the forums before you patch, this last one broke the emu, no ETA

I do have the EQ directory backedup, but it is an older install from kunark cd...no patch

I have nothing in between...

can I use just that install with out patching?

No, last version you needed a "patch before the most recent patch" to play.

Just Installing it will allow you to play www.hackersquest.org EthernalQuest 1.0

Pretty much your without the emulator until they fix it, and as they said a lot of shit was fixed last patch.

The only thing you really can do is go back in time a week before the patch and read the news.

ok thanx everyone.....I used EthernalQuest before and it didnt seem to have everything workin right. It seemed kinda buggy to me, so I thought I might give EQemu a try ..oh well ....Ill wait till its fixed
