EQ did an emergency patch and pushed a new .exe

this means if you patched eq, you will need to wait on a new mq2 / mq "next" build.

the mq2 and next devs know.
redbot knows
I know.

don't panic.

as soon as a re-build is available they will be updated in their respective places.

You can watch the LIVE Resource > here < to get notified when VV MQ2 is rebuilt

You can watch the LIVE MacroQuest "Next" > here < to get notified when Live MQ "next" is rebuilt.

Just as a followup:

MQ "Next" is back up and has been for a while.

And mq2 "legacy" will be rebuilt when possible.

I posted the "watch" links in the first thread if u want to get notified, etc.


If you are interested in migrating from legacy over to next:
Easy way to go from Legacy -> Next?
1. download next via the RG launcher
2. hit the migrator tool (will move any configs/macros etc from old install > vid <
3. setup framelimiter > vid <
4. load mq2lua /plugin Lua
5. if you want the functionality of the MQ2 "MQ2TargetInfo"
- They are now in 3 separate plugins:
/plugin groupinfo
/plugin targetinfo
/plugin xtarinfo

mental notes:
1. mq2map click is Control+Shift+Click
2. new easyfind self travel is Control+Click (reminder in find window title bar)
3. new easyfind group travel is Control+Shift+Click
4. If you selected a destination in your zone guide and want to activate it you /travelto activate

soon macroquest "Next" will be *the* version that we have here at redguides.
as i mentioned MQ "next" will soon be the version we have at redguides, as in *the* version.

in the near future the sole, single, solitary, only version of macroquest for Live serversthat redguides will have will be MacroQuest "Next", that will be slightly slower for test server and for emu but eventually, Next will be the platform


I see, but for now.. ' later on will say, I can use the good n old KA and MQ2 when the patch is done?

''Patch day'' it says.
 
Is MQnext updated fully? I am unable to launch due to "macroquest version missmatch"

eq version oct 22 2021 11:46:02
macroquest version oct 21 2021 12:04:16

I have reinstalled mqn just incase.

They just released another hotfix in the last 30 min or so, so everythings down again if you have patched since then.
 
They just took down eq for another patch. So same song and dance as last night
 
I use ISBoxer, which bypasses the patcher.... but let me check.... there's a way you can edit the shortcut that runs your eqgame.exe.
 
I updated at lunch and everything was great. Got home ready to play and now it says it's a patch day again. Will it be up sometime today do you think?
well, they just took eq down like an hour or so ago.

mq next is already back up and running, and mq2 is being rebuilt as we speak.


You can get notified when things are back up if that is helpful for you:

Curious when Very Vanilla will be updated? You'll get a web notification (if we have permission), site notification, and email (optional)
