`Did you get SoD from Steam?`
no was on an old hdd. eqgame file dates from march 2009
so originally downloaded from soe within a month of release.
Well 1. SoD was released October 2008. So March '09 is well after release.
2. It's the wrong one. You NEED SoD from Steam. Release date:
[Wed Oct 13 20:46:01 2010]00000:Starting EverQuest
(Built Dec 19 2008 15:22:49)If you think you're running Steam but the first line of "dbg.txt" in the logs folder says anything but what's above then you have the wrong client or you updated/patched.
Tbh I find it truly amazing that someone always finds something wrong with the client >.< I've had SoD since a week after it was first made compatible with EQEmu back when it had all sorts of AA errors and such, downloaded it once and never reinstalled never had an error. Only time the client bugged out on me is when I replaced some files with files from Live while testing something. That's not luck. Yet something goes wrong and instead of thinking they did something wrong or got the wrong client people flip out and call it "broken" and revert to another client. "Sigh" We're never gonna be rid of Shitanium. /rant
Anyway as I said in another thread sadly the only way to get this client is Torrent now, I won't post a link but if you want it send me a PM.
