Problem - Procedure entry point could not be found mq2main / mq2plugin.dll etc (1 Viewer)

[paman]

Hey all,

I returned from about a year break from the game. When I reloaded the launcher, I updated everything, and when I tried to launch the game through MQ2 I get this error. "The procedure entry point pTradeSkillDeptWnd could not be located in the dynamic link library". I have looked at previous threads with similar issues and tried the suggestions to fix the issue (redownloading MQ2, checking the ini file for plugins, and I verified my licenses are still valid for about another month). I am not sure where I should take my troubleshooting from here. I will attach a screenshot of the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok so I deleted every CWTN plugins I had. It stopped giving me the message. Then i downloaded MQ2necro from the redguide launcher and /plugin mq2necro from within the game. Got the same message as before but with necro instead :/

I re installed MQ2 and started from fresh, installed the plugins from the launcher and it worked fine. Still not sure what caused it but its fixed. Thanks you two.

I just purchased and installed CWTN mq2mage, mq2enchanter, and mq2cleric. When I try /plugin load mq2xxxx any of them I get the error in the attached picture. I extracted them into my plugin folder (file path and mq2mage.dll can be seen in the picture), watched and installed them from the RedGuides launcher, and have all of the other required software installed. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or haven't done? I found a previous thread about procedure entry point failures being due to outdated plugins but I just installed it and even verified it as up to date in the launcher so I'm not sure how mine could be outdated.

If you have already checked the RG Launcher Plugin Tab then read the following:
- The RG Launcher is unable to *delete* old files.
-- This means you will get an error box if you don't have a current plugin that matches the mq build
-- your options are:
--- a: purchase a license
--- b: delete the old .dll in your plugin folder, and/or
--- c: change your macroquest.ini to MQ2PluginName=0 under [Plugins]


your MQ isn't updated.

you need to update the mq in your rg launcher then, go back to the plugins tab in the launcher, and hit refresh and reinstall, that should hopefully fix it.

You need to renew your mq2 ber or delete that plugin from compile

I have the same error. I have not touched my EQ files/folders in months. Today, after the patch, every char logged in comes up with this error, but appears to load ok ??

Are you sure some of yours are not plugins?

I'm receiving the same error every time I log in with AutoLogin, ALL 6 of my boxes are giving me the same error with MQ2Necro.dll as the culprit. I have never purchased any of the plugins, But CWTN did give me a few week trial of MQ2Berserker a couple years ago. So deleting that file will fix this? Just odd that it started doing this out of the blue...

 

[LrdDread]

Sorry, I don't see where it's mentioned above that the plugins are trying to load. That might have been a little more helpful... And while I was in there, I did see the MQ2Paladin.dll, which I never used or tested, should that also be removed?

 

[LrdDread]

Odd, if that is in any of the above post, I can't see it and I've looked through them more than a dozen times and twice since your reply.... Guess it's something wonky on my feed. Apologies

if your error is not "mq2main.dll" but instead "mq2plugin.dll" where "plugin" is anything like necro, paladin, grind, berzerker, enchanter, cleric, monk, rogue, bst, shaman, war then it is because you are trying to load a .dll in your macroquest plugins folder that does not match your MQ build (which is loaded from what you have set in your macroquest.ini unde the [Plugin] section)

 

[LrdDread]

Ok, I've never been good at letting sleeping dogs lie, I looked it over again and finally spotted that line I quoted above. It LOOKED like it was part of the response of "Getting Started / Returning user" response you were making to the original post. Which made me skim right past it every time I looked for it.

And no, that does not say it either in that last post quoted at me...

Again, I apologize...

 

[LrdDread]

I said it was and apologized for it

Good Evening;

I've been getting the

Procedure entry point could not be found mq2main​

error for the last two days on all my accounts. I think it is due to the fact that I used the MQ2Paladin and MQ2Necro pluggins at one time when they were being tested. The problem is, they are not in my plugins section of my launcher.
I've attached a screenshot of the launcher pluggin section to show this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

sincerely;

Jarlentor



WELL....... Immediately after writing this and posting it.... I thought...... "Self..... you should check the PLUGIN directory in your MQ2 folder" and there we found the two errant DLL files.....

Sorry to have caused any confusion.... Problem solved!!!!
