what goes "do you wish to let this program" are you saying your windows UAC is asking you?

It almost sounds like windows added it to your compat layers.

you will need to check your registry and see if it did, in which case windows might be preventing it from running

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

sometimes you need to delete and reinstall the app entirely

1 - delete your AppData - paste this in windows explorer search window (any folder) %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and %LocalAppData%\RGResourceManager and then delete the contents in that folders
1b - Did you skip step 1? if you did, go back and do step 1 :)
2 - then go to add/remove programs, and remove the redguide's launcher
3 - reinstall the launcher
4 - open launcher
5 - point the re-install to your existing mq2 directory
6 - boom - back in business
7 - get a snack/drink - you earned it!

App data is that a file name

did all this patcher still won't load but i can load toons from mq2 I don't know what the problem is

I was having some serious login issues with EQ and had to do a fresh install. So, now I am trying to reinstall the Launcher and MQ2 again but the launcher installs but will not run. It opens for a brief second and then disappears. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but it keeps doing the same thing. Help would be most appreciated. FYI ...I disabled my Firewall just in case that was the issue. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

 

[Redbot]

If the launcher had worked before but is now crashing on startup, open file explorer and go to %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and delete the folder ResourceManager

If what redbot suggested doesn't work, look a couple posts back in this thread for longer instructions/steps.

Sometimes just using a different default windows browser will fix the open and instantly close issue, sometimes you need to take more steps

1 - delete your AppData - paste this in windows explorer search window (any folder) %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and %LocalAppData%\RGResourceManager and then delete the contents in that folders

well. do you have any feedback from the instructions i provided? did everything go as expected?

because if you're saying that you followed the steps, removed the program and deleted the two appdata locations as instructed, and you checked your registry for any compat layer issues that your windows is still not allowing you to run the launcher - I would suggest re checking your antivirus and ensure nothing eq or mq related (including the rg launcher) is being quarantined or held hostage.

Yes, sorry for the delay!!! I was having an issue finding %LocalApp% but it is done and the launcher is up and stays up ...now I need to see what everything else I need to do to get everything back the way it was in game. Thank you for your assistance as always and I will let you know if there are any other issues that I can't figure out. Thank you Redbot as well.

Yes, just got it done ....thanks that seems to have resolved the immediate problems ...now to get all my config files moved back to the new install of EQ so I don't have to re-setup all that too. Thanks again!!!

What is the best way to get all my NAV Meshes back for all the zones?

 

[Sic]

What is the best way to get all my NAV Meshes back for all the zones?

a: run the mesh updater from the RG launcher
b: migrate them from your previous install with the migration utility
c: download them from > MQMesh < and place them in your release -> resources -> MQ2nav folder

Now I am right back to the same problem I had that caused me to have to reinstall EQ in the first place and that is when I load a character, the character screen comes up and as soon as I hit enter world ...it just unable to connect to server and then you have been disconnected. It goes right back to the Server Select screen rinse and repeat. It was working fine until I just put MQ2 back in the mix???

unable to connect to server sounds like an eq problem and not an mq problem.

 

[Medicman]

unable to connect to server sounds like an eq problem and not an mq problem.

I agree, and that is why I did a clean install of EQ and it was working fine. Logged straight in every time. So, then I started to re-install MQ, with your assistance, and now it is doing the can't connect to server problem again. I don't get it.

Redbot updated RedGuides Launcher with a new update entry:

mesh updater fix

Mesh updater fixed as well as some other issues. Thank you CWTN

Read the rest of this update entry...

I know this is likely a me problem, but could use some help for sure.

Yesterday I started the launcher and said there was a new version (v1.0.85), so I clicked yes to update. After the update, the Last Installed section is blank and the install button is back. When I click install, the launcher crashes.




I can still launch MQ from the Launch MQ button and it opens the correct folder when I click Open MQ Folder.

Thoughts, suggestions, buy a new pc?

hrm that's a new one.

Definitely give yourself a computer restart, and make sure that in your settings tab you have a location set

 

[Mikey02]

Any idea how I can fix this? I unwatched kissassist and still getting this error. Tried reboot a few times for good measure.

That usually means something has your file locked. Like it is open in an editor, or you have antivirus or similar holding the file hostage/quarantine.

You should exit all editors, and consider whitelisting any file scanning or syncing of your mq or eq folders.

Also make sure you reboot your pc.

Kiss is an included macro, so you don't need to watch it.

Yep that did it, thanks Sic

I tried to patch it under safe mode with network. The file should've not been held up by anything. This only started happening when I decided to watch kissassist a week or so ago. Not sure what the correlation is.

Despite the error, all seemed to be working normally with the exception of the Last Installed field being blank, and the dynamic button saying Install. I was able to click that button, and everything seemed to do what it was supposed to. At this point, no errors and no problems to report. It either fixed itself or someone did something on the back end.

This just started a couple of days ago. I can login fine with chrome. It acts like it logs in fine with brave, but it just goes back to asking me to login again.

would recommend ensuring your brave is up to date, you don't have anything preventing scripts from running, and possibly clear out your cookie/cache

i use brave on a few pcs with the launcher so it isn't an inherent issue with launcher/brave

No luck with any of those. Thanks though.

thats interesting, mine isn't allowing me to log in and apparently I have updated to the latest:



Although I must admit - where it says last installed - I had to click "Reinstall" because following the last Redguides update - it removed the date and time of last install and didn't offer an update button. Am now receiving the following message:



Judging by this I am assuming that the Dev's are still hard at work or am I mistaken?

Thank you

That reads to me like you haven’t patched EQ.

 

[Nihkasilma]

Damnit, I'm sorry again everyone for being an idiot.

I never open the patcher and therefore the error is mine. Thank you Armyboxer99 will give you a cent when my daily renewal comes up.

I am still having this problem. How do I go about fixing it?
