Not sure if its an issue, but in due diligence...

I load my crew via AutoLogin>Profiles> "Launch All Starred". As the program begins to spin up I briefly see Everquest's EULA "Agree / Disagree" popup in between each account as it spins up. It travels by so quickly I'm unable to accept or decline. Yet if I launch via EQ's launcher alone I get no such pop up for any of the accounts.
Is there a way to step start thru the autologin process and provide enough time to answer the popup (hopefully clearing them for a while)? It doesnt prevent the toons from logging in but my OCD kicks in for the multiple unanswered EULA popups.

Thanks!
 
Autologin is answering it for you. You don’t get it from Launchpad because you accept at Launchpad. If you’re bypassing launchpad you’re prompted to accept. Declining exits the game so there’s really only one answer.

We will not be accepting feature requests for the software that violates the EULA to be paused to allow you to manually accept the EULA :D

I have same issue. It pops up every time I login except on the accounts I was manually able to catch the pop up. So I just assumed auto login was bypassing it somehow.

Tinfoil hat… DB is using it to see who is using able to bypass using mq2…

Looks like I may have given the wrong impression. I'm not looking for a feature request (agree that its dripping with irony). Perhaps a workaround or technique to simply answer/clear the popup? I'm not sure autologin actually answers it, more like ignores the popup, as I see it every crew launch. Still functioning so minor issue for sure.

*secures tinfoil hat*

Thanks for the replies everyone :)

Autologin clicks I agree, just like you would manually

In the past you only needed to select the "I Agree" button once. So why, once Autologin accepts (Clicks I agree button), would it show up regularly every time I launch? Just find that odd.
 
This isn't an issue with autologin. This isn't an issue at all.

When you launch the game from Launchpad, it already asks you for the eula and does login, so you go straight to server select. If you launch the game without launchpad, it ALWAYS asks for eula.

This is just how the game is. You're not missing out on anything, believe me.
 
Not sure if this is related. I'm getting the following error when I try to launch a group of toons on test from AutoLogin.

Not sure why the the versions are mismatching.

Wrong!

We're missing the tin-foil hat!!!

Or is it a helmet in this case?

At the risk of sounding argumentative, before Feb 21st launching my crew didn't have this minor annoyance. They all loaded up with barely anything to see. I do agree its not an "issue" as a matter of semantics. Perhaps I should have said "I noticed an irregularity".

I won't pursue further.

Cheers all.

Yeah, and I'm just letting you know, its always been this way.
 
On the serious side, no tinfoil, I logged into each of my accounts with the regular EQ patcher and ticed the "Accept" button.



After that I hadn't seen it again with autologin.


Tinfoil off~

Ticked the accept button where?

I really want to understand this because the EverQuest side behavior hasn't changed and you're making me wonder how the MQ side might have changed. (ie, was it just clicking accept faster than you could see it before and now it's not).

My understanding so we're all on the same page:
If you go through the launcher -- you don't get the eula screen.
If you don't go through the launcher and pass "patchme" to eqgame -- you get the eula screen.
 
This thing-a-majig here. Logged on to the account with the regular patcher and after never saw it again. Even with autologin in.


/shrug Maybe I'm spilling the wrong info. Hope not

Are we talking about the same screen? You said "popup" are you talking about the ingame screen? Looks like this:

Tinfoil hat moment ... I think @Knightly took a screenshot and put that in to fuck with everyone during autologin ... but yea i'm seeing the black EULA screen fire up every time too since last patch when autologin does its thing.

Knightly, the screenshot you posted above IS what I see when I launch my full crew using MQ2 via Autologin > Profiles > Launch All Starred. This happens on all but one account as I watch them sequentially (and automatically) continue the auto login process. This was NOT the case last week when I was performing the same actions.
In all honesty I was hoping someone would show me how to make them go away, however they cycle past too quickly to scroll down text (to unlock I Agree) and click the button. In the past when these have been pushed by DBG I have selected the "I Agree" button and will not see this screen until DBG pushes it out again.

My crew still has access to the game so it has zero impact to game play/program use, and is rather an annoyance...nothing more. I still need to try Bluebugs suggestion and report back in the event someone else has the same OCD for EULA screens. :P

I don't think this is the case, I think the more likely answer is that MQ was possibly moving past it faster before.

But if you want to test why I think that's true, you can run eqgame.exe patchme and click "I Agree" -- in my expectation it will come up every single time. But if your experience is different, I'd like to know.

However, you'll also note, that's not even the current agreement that's showing (the current agreement is June 8, 2022, and that one is Feb 21, 2018).
 
It seems like MQ isn't clicking through that screen as fast as it used to, so now we are actually seeing that screen when before it was clicked through so fast we didn't notice it.

@Knightly all jokes aside @Caibek is right, that's the same thing I've been seen for the past two days. I'm loving the new log-in organization by server...with little power buttons...rock on....

Using patchme bypass does indeed produce the EULA as mentioned every time. Interestingly it did show the older EULA date of "February 21, 2018". The result does seem to be that MQ is moving slow enough (?recent changes?) to allow the EULA to be seen, where it had'nt before.

Thanks for the feedback!

Agree, it feels cleaner.
 
That EULA popup screen definitely wasnt visible before the patch, and the only way to not get it to pop up every time is to quickly click accept before the autologin autologsin. I feel like you guys almost gaslit OP into thinking he needed that tinfoil hat

Can you show me a video of the situation where you quickly clicked "accept" before autologin did and then the EULA screen did not come back? I'm not sure if you're gaslighting, joking, or having a magically different experience than everyone else.

Not for me, just made double sure, mq not running. logged in with a shortcut and patchme bypass. No EULA

/patchme would tell you to run the launcher -- I think you mean patchme. But I'm 100% sure the issue that they're talking about is that we just weren't clicking accept as fast as we were previously and that's now been fixed.

To clarify some confusion, these are the states we were talking about:
Launcher --> No Eula
eqgame.exe patchme --> EULA
eqgame.exe patchme /login:something --> No Eula (probably conditional based on the above)

The scenario that changed was eqgame.exe patchme which was taking longer to accept the EULA than previous and has now been fixed. But I believe that caused people to think that there was something new added.

Carry on :D
