    By manually installing the patch, I was able to get my WIN XP computer running EQ.

    I copied the 39 files listed in the .DownloadInfo file Apr 19th entry from my WIN 10 EQ patched computer to my WIN XP computer. I then started EQ on my WIN XP computer using eqgame.exe PATCHME.

    So far so good.

    And for those of us who only have a vista machine.... where can we find these files to copy?

    Some assistance would be helpful. )

    Think I screwed something up. After doing this I get the extremely useful "unknown error" when trying to join a server.

    I have the same issue on one of 3 xp machines. One stopped working with a patch months ago, and a 2nd machine stopped today. Also getting the K32 problem. Thought it was my machine and reinstalled a ton of stuff today. And, of course, after deleting eq I cann't reinstall it. DAYBREAK DOES NOT GIVE A ... I was charged $199 yesterday for a membership and today I can't play. Based on their response from months ago, they don't care.... it was basically "you need a new machine"

    Candaan - excellent suggestion and much appreciated.

    I copied the patch files from a Windows7 box to XP and ran the eqgame.exe PATCHME shortcut. Had no problems getting in afterwards.

    For those that don't have an alternate box, maybe completely downloading EQ in a fresh folder, using the eqgame.exe PATCHME short would work. Just a thought.

    Not even a remotely equivalent analogy.
