Did you use the migrator tool here: https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/macroquest-migrator.2156/ ?

I don't remember if it copied over autologin settings from the older implementation. You should be able to do it manually by loading up the old version and and exporting your autologin settings to a file and then importing them in the new live version.

yes i have tried that and still dose not work. EQBCS is also not working for me when i launch mq2. eqbcs starts up but says waiting for connections on port: 2112. not like before when i would hit standalone and then eqbcs would fire right up.

re eqbc: it is supposed to have the server window that lets you know it is waiting for a connection - you can see > HERE <

re logging in: - there's not a whole lot of information to go by. is autologin trying to connect? if not, how come? do you have mq2autologin set to load? did you migrate correctly including your autologin profiles?

a: there is no mq2 - "MacroQuest - Live" is correct
b: yes, reinstall would be correct if there are already files there
c: i would check your registry for any compat layers

Need to check if windows added something to your compat layer?
Check these locations in your registry for anything eq/mq related and delete.
INI: 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

if you need to reinstall the launcher for some reason

1 - delete your AppData - paste this in windows explorer search window (any folder) %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and then delete the contents in that folder
1b - Did you skip step 1? if you did, go back and do step 1 :)
2 - then go to add/remove programs, and remove the redguide's launcher
3 - reinstall the launcher
4 - open launcher
5 - point the re-install to your existing mq2 directory
6 - boom - back in business
7 - get a snack/drink - you earned it!

only thing i can think of. and you said not to do it in your video is i accidently installed macroquest- live in the same folder as my original install.

There might be a bit of unfortunate news for you if you did install over the existing legacy installation, you might be in a state that cannot be easily recovered in an automated fashion.

You can try changing the location of your install under the settings area of the RedGuides Launcher and then installing MacroQuest - Live to this new location and then re-run the migration tool using the old install location as the source and the new install location as the destination which may provide a version that could run again but it might also contain duplicate files. Worst case scenario you will need a clean install of MacroQuest - Live to a new folder and you will have to manually copy over the macros/configuration files that are important to you from the legacy install.

I have had this happen to me twice before, I run autologin, gets to the login screen and stops. Both time I ran the eq patcher and it cured the problem. I'm guessing if eq is not up to date it won't log in? Ah well just thought I would share what worked for me.
