Problem - MQ2 not loading after today's update (autologin not working either)

[adamk10288]

Hello, I just tried to log in today and there was an update. I try and autologin and it just goes to the login screen with the group name:character.

When I actually manually login, there is no MQ2 terminal on the screen and it says connecting to the EQBC is an invalid command.

What changed??

Hmm, are you playing on Test ? Test had a patch today, otherwise there should not be update to regular MQ2.

 

[adamk10288]

Yes I am playing on test.

You need to wait for an update of mq2 for test then. MQ2 can't inject into the new executable, so autologin wont work.

Gotcha, how long typically until there is a new MQ2?

 

[playj]

Depends on how busy eqmule is. He is the main maintainer of mq2.

Usually about 24 hours for a regular server, maybe a bit longer for test. Sometimes major changes happen at test then it could take longer.

Hint: eqmule appreciates donations

and you can set yourself up to be emailed as soon as the new compile is live by following the thread below:

MQ2 Source Code is in overhaul right now.

There is a major feature being added that has to be done before live gets patched.

Unfortunately this is delaying the update of the test server compile. We apologize for the delay but we have no control over it.

The MQ2 Devs are literally working 18 hours a day on this.

I just learned from the devs they are pausing work on the change until later. It is too big and they don't think it will be ready by live patch. Hopefully Test compile should be updated later today

Great, thanks for the info! No need to apologize from my perspective, I love what you guys are doing. I am just happy to be able to play everquest again without having to give up my real life to do it.

and it appears test is getting patched again so that might delay the update some if they have to restart from scratch.
