Seems Akkadius has made available a server login patch program for EQEmu that is easy and helpful.
http://moestaverne.com/downloads.htmlThere are 2 files available for download at version 1.71, seems the smaller one is "portable" or doesn't need to be installed, and the other is a regular install, either will work and basically do the same, so just choose which one you want, if you want to install it, or just have a folder for it as portable.
Personally, I had a graphic issue due to my graphic settings in Windows 7, but when running the EQEmu Launcher, it'll auto detect a new version 1.76 available. So just accept their new patch 1.76 when running 1.71 for first time and its all good.
During installation, only thing you really need to configure is in options pointing to your eqgame.exe and then the rest of the default choices should work well.
Got this in an email just now from Akkadius:
Also, the Launcher server moved DNS recently so some people might not see it as 'Up'
So far I've only tested this with EZ Server. This program is suppose to allow you to switch between servers and auto patch to that servers files, without having to do it manually for each server each time you switch servers. And when going back to a server again, if any of your files are out of date like the spell file then it'll auto update it.
During my test, I removed eqhost.txt, zone_chr.txt, and spells_us.txt files and they were all auto downloaded into my eq directory ready for play, so worked real good.
I'm still new to it myself, but looks promising. Post any questions here and we'll work together any issues.
