Kernel32.dll

Would also be an option, but probably A LOT of work, and would most likely take a very large team of developers a long time to do.

I wouldn't be against it, the question is, can DBG afford it?, if they can be completely sure to attract a lot of new subscribers, sure. But financially it would be a risky move.

Other classic games have sold well as a "HD-remake", might happen here too...

sadly the old models look better

They will NEVER do an overhaul of the game, engine gfx etc etc whathave ya, it is not costeffective...

Im also a bit skeptical that they will do a complete overhaul of the game-engine, because of the cost. However I wouldn't rule out that they could gradually upgrade parts of the game-engine to take advantage of win7(+) features.

And just because you think the old models look better, does not mean they don't have the talent to make something even better. Other Daybreak games have better looking models than the EQ1-1999 models imo. I actually like the human models they use for newer NPC's better than the current player-models.

They tried to do a graphic overhaul when DoDH launched, tell me how well that worked and how much you enjoy Freeport, please.

Many of the upgraded zones were awesome, Freeport is the exception, it feels more like a mutated empty castle, than a capital city, they should have kept the original layout imo.
Lavastorm, nektulos, commonlands ,oasis, were all great imo, mostly because they were faithful remakes.
Even later remakes used in SoD like blackburrow were great.

If they had just merged east and west freeport leaving the layout as it was I would have been hapy.

The changing of Freeport was in the Prophecy of Ro expansion.

Can somebody please post the patch files again? It would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I also need the patch files, if someone would be so kind.

I dont think anyone has posted the new patch files yet

anyone have a step by step how to acctually get the patch files working

Files for today:
https://mega.nz/#!M1IXUDyD!Ef--HKXYms5XpSQKuIef4g1oSk6GD7NjO82AM1ekSKY

Just extract right on the eq game folder. Haven't checked the winxp box yet though, so hoping it still works and they didn't ninja-change the reqs on the executables this time.

Thank you Kahlev Al-Calen!

Thank you SO much! ^_^

How in the heck do you isolate those files, anyway? If you don't have time to explain it, no problem.

Thank you Kahlev =) This is a temporary fix that will last at least me till i get my new rig =)

Works on my xp box. Thanks again

The files work perfectly, BTW.

Having trouble getting these patch files to work properly on my XP box. I used the patchme workaround for the last patch, and everything worked, enabling me to log in successfully. Following the same procedure for this patch, however, I'm getting error 1017: cannot log into the everquest server, you may need to re-run the update patch. What am I doing wrong here?

Someone posted the details earier, but too lazy to search. On the eq folder, there is a filde called ".DownloadInfo" which lists what files are updated, for today, it shows:

So you just copy those files from a win7/8/10 machine to your windows xp/vista machine, then run eqgame.exe patchme instead of running the patcher again.
