windowskey and s not working

Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋 -
We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.Read more
a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over/ooc,/shoutor other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.
Why Does RG Review Scripts?
Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering,/targetover impossible distances when/nav spawnwould passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.
You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting/lua run

Heh, I like the screenshot'd directory including "../Bill's Fucking CPU/.."

Well-known member
It's " windows + shift + s " by default now.
Good idea and something you suggested worked, but I was unable to recreate an issue with special characters in folder names.
I've noticed that last two times I ran the updater that the files in my \mq2\release folder were timestamped several hours into the future. Everything still works! The only practical effect this has is sorting the files by date is sort of wonky for a few hours. This is just an FYI sort of message.
@B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y hmmm I will take a look at the file details and see if I can figure out whats going on there. It should be stamping the date time with whatever time you extracted the zip file.
@madkiller44 I will check the logic around the folder names. I am pretty sure I accounted for spaces, but it may be blowing up on the ' for some reason. At least you are up and running with @kaen01 's help.

I seem to be having issues also! I am trying to see if I have 2 different mq2 directory's, I have tried setting the launcher to the folder I can find but when I hover over the mq2 icon in the taskbar it says "jan 9th... I run the reinstall in the launcher and it says last installed 1-18-20... I get the "no nav mesh files loaded" Unfortunately I feel like I am making it worse each pass..
Are you saying you've updated Vanilla and MQ2/KA isn't working? Like you're getting the "out-of-date" error window and MQ2 turns off?
For that you can double check you updated EQ too and then re-run the Vanilla launcher.
You can also make sure the launcher is updating the correct Vanilla install folder. A few users have noted it was reverting to a default directory instead of their custom one. You can see this in the settings tab of the launcher.

What would cause the launcher to "loose track" of somebody's custom install folder and revert to the default one? That seems to be a common trouble shooting thread. They pick their own folder on install and it works for awhile, then one patch it reverts and they don't notice until something doesn't work. Ini files are missing or their startup icons are starting out-of-date MQ2 or such.
Check in the settings tab of the launcher. Is the folder correct? Are your meshes in the Release/Mq2Nav folder?
What message do you get in MQ2 window for these commands?
Anything?
/plugin mq2nav load/nav reloadAnything?
MacroQuest.ini in the Release folder has plugin autoload (=1) section.
Maybe something is turning it back off. Check this thread that was having a similar issue with commands not working on some toons.
I'm not convinced that's the same folder as the address bar on the right isn't clear.
Go to the "Very Vanilla" tab in the launcher and click "open mq2 folder" and make sure they're the same
Be sure to also run MeshUpdater
That's correct as of this post, what's the "last installed" date?
My Dad (Dead2) is having an issue with the RedGuides launcher and I am his IT guy. Below are the 2 errors we are getting in event viewer every time we try to launch the application. This is a Standard windows 10 machine that the launcher has worked on before and it just stopped working today.

When was it last working? Or is this new for him?
It was last working yesterday, not working today after a reboot. Which made me think it has to do with windows updates...
And that's exactly why I asked, nice call. I seen a few people have been dealing with issues with the latest security patch, specifically with the microsoft certificate fix. Roll back the installation before 1903, and then put him in the pool to force 1909.
Thanks @wired420 , he worked through one of the first.
If you are having issues with running .NET apps after installing the Windows Certificate Update (Or at this point lack of installing or rolling back because the underlying certificate previously used has been officially revoked) message me directly, and I'll determine the steps you personally need to take to remedy the problem. It's not a one size fits all solution. In @Sum1's case I used a enterprise level tool to rebuild his registry and updates db which reset the pool he was scheduled to get 1909 in. Had him visit the site and click the update button for 1909 before he could be reassigned.
In cases where the registry didn't get borked I can just slide you a Microsoft KB beta (that actually SHOULD'VE started rolling out today general release via updater) file.

Got this message this morning when I tried updating.
"Sorry looks like there was an issue:
End of Central Directory could not be found.
Please report this to management."
The first time I got the message I clicked ok and the button on the launcher showed I still needed to update so I closed the launcher and rebooted my pc. Got back on the launcher and hit the update button. Got the same message again but this time it shows update complete with today's date.
Can't load any toons. Everything was working fine yesterday morning.
This is the message I'm getting when it tries to log into EQ.
"Either MQ2 or eqgame is out of date (that,s the header)
MQ2 expected eqgame Date and Time to be:
Feb 10 2020 18:39:00
But eqgame's Date and Time is:
Jan 9 2020 13:39:57
Do you need to patch one of them?
Loading of MQ2 can not be completed.
