Patch - New Client been pushed - Old exe no longer available as MQ2 has now been updated for todays patch

[EQaddict]

Good idea to run the patcher or stay with whats working for now as it might break MQ2 ?

 

[eqmule]

It will break MQ2 100% for sure.
Stay with old exe until I push an update.

 

[EQaddict]

Thanks bud will do

 

[kitsiulo93]

so it is not working atm?

 

[EQaddict]

if you want MQ2 to work don't run the EQ launcher or it will break MQ2 until EQMule pushes an update for MQ2

 

[rainer09]

so happy i checked this website before logging in......

 

[EQaddict]

Yeah they done a rolling patch 21/9/2018 about 30 mins ago we got a system wide message asking us to log out and patch at our earliest convenience.

 

[Fueil]

Note too self, always read the forums first before logging in haha! I'll wait for the patch

 

[hawk_EQ]

yeah it caught me by surprise too. I hate that. I think maybe from now on I might try backing up the EXE

 

[stvski]

anyone have a backup exe out there

 

[EQaddict]

I have a un updated EXE don't know how ide get it to you tho as it 9mb in size. <--- before I knew I could post it as an attachment via the forums lol

 

[Marnan]

Lol, I didn't even know I was updating, but I got the new patch when I logged on and yeah, MQ2 is broke. Look forward to the fix, but in no hurry. I'm headed to the pool.

 

[metsman4u]

[EQaddict]

Deleted the old exe as its no longer needed as MQ2 has been updated to work with todays patch.

 

[metsman4u]

[EQaddict]

ty so very much that worked

Cool thanks for the info I am glad it will help others now until EQmule pushes out a update for MQ2

 

[Scadr]

ok can someone explain with i do with this please lol
thanks

 

[EQaddict]

download the exe file and replace the one in your everquest folder and MQ2 will work again. but only if you patched everquest via the launcher today 22/9/2018 the Exe I have provided is from 19/9/2018

 

[Scadr]

i have replaced the folder then just start the game reg way it says its still outdated . thanks for helping me btw

 

[EQaddict]

Folder? you only copy the eqgame.exe into your everquest folder you don't change anything else...

 

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

Yeah, I screwed up and patched on one machine today. But since I have EQ on multiple computers I'll just grab the EXE from one of them across my LAN.

 

[saar]

FYI downloading the old exe and still using the patcher will fix the EXE to the newest version which will again break it. You need to right click the eqgame.exe and select send to desktop, once on desktop you need to right click the file that was sent to the desktop and select properties and in the target bar left click and move to the right and add -patchme to the end and click apply then double left click that file and it should launch eqgame without running the patcher.

 

[stvski]

download eqaddicts file and paste it in your eq directory

Hey macromanic, you may need to update the updater. Our one from 2017 and earlier no longer works.
