Title: Underfoot Client
Post by: kuahara on July 21, 2011, 12:21:25 pm
Is there anything special that is required to get the underfoot client working?  Right now I am using titanium and it comes with various bugs.  The most troublesome bug being that most of the time, in the AA window, a great number of AAs simply do not show up and are not available for purchase.  Most of the time I look under the archtype AAs, there are only 2 listed, but sometimes when I log in they're all there and go away after I zone.

That said, I've tried using both the SoD and UF clients and both give me the same error when I first attempt to launch eqgame.exe

In SoD, I extracted the missing file from an April 2006 .CAB file and put it where it was supposed to be, but then the error message just changed to something generic like, "Cannot start Everquest"  (real informative).


If anyone knows of anything that needs to be done to run the game on EZ Server please let me know.  Thanks.

Also, I prefer to run them without using the steam client.

Do a DXDiag.

I have it posted on the Storm Haven forums that while Titanium will work with DX11 UF says aww hell no.

Install this and you'll be fine:  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35

You also need to copy some files from live or another client to make Underfoot complete.  Instructions here: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=UFMissingFilesList

personally, I always just look for the DLL it tells you its missing and download that from a free website.  Just drop the file inside the eqgame folder, and problem solved (as far the DirectX issue)

as stated though, that only causes it to shift to a generic / non-descriptive / vague / worthless error message.

You actually aren't without 11...You can have them both installed at the same time.

This is off the machine I run UF with. Holy crap I has DX11 and can plays on UF?!?!?

Lies..I have DX9 installed also.

P.S yes I know I need more ram...stfu!!!!!!

Is there any real benefit to upgrade to UF? Just curious, thanks :)

i like using UF -shrug- only thing i really hate is /pet hold and other /pet AA's dont work. Wake the dead works , Swarm of Decay does not. If you go over a certain amount of HP it wont show up properly in the inventory window either :( oh and you cant zone into zones like High Hold pass.
