RedGuides Launcher (8 Viewers) 1.1.0

[r1pt1de]

Oh, also, I run RGL as admin and even open Mozilla Firefox prior to trying to run RGL. Some days it works just fine, others I have to do the %LocalAppData%\RedGuides reset instructions. Also RGL and MQ2 load different versions of my profile lists whenever I redo the install. (not all log ins are posted when I try to log into EQ either). I still enjoy it just trying to help figure out the cause. lol. The antivirus is Trend Micro Internet Security.

What version of Windows are you on? If its Windows 10, are you getting any messages from Windows about being logged in to a temporary profile? I can't for the life of me reproduce the issue, but I know quite a few people are seeing it so trying to figure it out.

Windows 10 and no I am not getting any messages. Yeah it was strange how it started happening.

I am in the process of reinstalling the launcher and VV. I get as far as running the Launcher and have this error in the lower left corner of the launcher - "Auth: Failed to authenticate with the Forums".

Is the Launcher trying to use an old password?

Possibly. Try pressing the "logout" button on the launcher.

I don't have a 'logout' button. Just the minimize/close at the top right and all the normal menu buttons on the left.

Sorry - I should have stated that I get the error message when I click the "login" button.

check your browser, maybe you have default browser in windows with old password

I tried that as well, and removed any RedGuides login from both Chrome and Firefox - unfortunately I still get the same error message.

Still having the issue with the launcher login - "Auth: Failed to authenticate with the Forums". Are the creds for connecting back to RedGuides stored in a hidden file somewhere that I may have missed while cleaning up the old installation?

I hadn't logged onto the website for ideas since my last post, however I did notice the logout in the upper right and hit that before closing the app. Since then I have had ZERO issues with the app. I figured it was something easy and obvious lol.

None of that works. I think everyone is assuming I am getting logged into the forums when I am not. I click "Login" and I get the auth error which I posted previously. If I click "Settings" I don't get anything. If I click any of the menus/buttons on the left hand side of the Launcher window nothing happens.

Then you may need to reinstall the launcher

Delete your appdata - paste this in windows explorer search window (any folder) %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and then delete the contents in that folder
then go to add/remove programs, and remove the redguide's launcher
reinstall the launcher after downloading from > HERE <
open launcher
point the re-install to your existing mq2 directory
boom - back in business

Unfortunately, that didn't work either. I am still getting "Auth: Failed to authenticate with the Forums" on the launcher when I click "Login". The %LocalAppData%\RedGuides folder didn't exist. I tried creating it and reinstalling but that didn't work. I have disabled the firewall and AV (Windows Defender) still get the same auth error.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I am going to just run VV and skip the launcher.

Thanks again all.

Looks like there was a launcher update. I'm trying to update and it keeps giving error message about some center directory cant be found and wont update.

 

[MrPatate]

Launcher update or VV update? It's not the same thing. Recent update was VV.
If it's VV then try:
Delete your appdata - paste this in windows explorer search window (any folder) %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and then delete the contents in that folder.
this usually means you got a bad download - often due to slow internet. I would give a restart to your computer and perhaps your router and give it another try.

Hi, I went to update my version last night after patch and it states that everquest has locked files that I need to /unload. It also says that I have outdated version of mq2 or everquest after last nights test server patch. Any ideas? thx

 

[lolofmgrfm]

Test did an update and I don't see where anyone has updated mq2 for it yet.

 

[suitepea79]

ok thanks..is there a way to tell when new updated mq2 is up?

 

[swiftymuse]

There is an updated TEST/BETA update, however RG has not yet merged the changes and made a build to distribute.

 

[SomeTester]

The build version has not yet been updated to match the patch from last night. You need to wait for that to update. When this updates:

mq2tracking has been removed as kaen said, you need to delete the .dll from your release folder or edit your macroquest2.ini entry to mq2tracking=0

if you just mean "mq2 and eq" dates don't match - it means you need to patch either your game or your mq2.

Yeah the MQ2 and EQ dates dont match. I have patched EQ. Been using the updater for red guides but all it says is reinstall.

if this is for test - it is because test is still down. it has been down for several days as DBG has been having patcher issues

Test is patched and working again. I got on this morning for the first time since like Tuesday.

it is now, but it has been down for several days. MQ2 for test was only patched recently, and red is re-building VV for test as we speak. (the VV patched was accidentally turned on pre-maturely, so likely why --- test VV needs to be rebuilt before it would connect to test server)

Test is up launcher still got to be repatched?

yes, VV needs to be rebuilt. you can check the RG launcher or > Get Notified When Test is Patched <

The RG Launcher worked fine for me for updating test. Maybe try restarting your computer. Then launch RG and try again.
