EQPN 1.13 and WINEQ .992 not working - intended?

pcmodem · Post by **pcmodem** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 2:43 pm

the subject says it all. Have you intentionally crippled eqpn so that it won't run with wineq .992 (the last non-crippled WinEQ)?

To clarify, when I run WinEQ .992 EQPN gives a "you must update EQ" error msg, when I relaunch with WinEQ .995 or higher, there is no error.

No, WinEQ has nothing to do with EQPlayNice not working. However, WinEQ 0.992 is pretty crippled (your framerate is much lower than it should be, for example)

Did you authenticate through EQPlayNice?

Yup. This is all on the same machine, no relaunching of EQPN, just relaunching WinEQ. With .992 I get the error, with .995 I get none (and its working)

Its nice to know you didn't do it intentionally. I have no problems with you making your money, I'm just not sure I'm enjoying the way features are being yanked / "enhancements" are being made. Its just...giving me a shifty feel to the whole deal.

Also, you're more than welcome to continue to use WinEQ 0.992. It is not officially supported, so please don't ask for support on that specifically. EQPlayNice should work fine for you and I will help you resolve that issue.

Hence the reason this is in the EQPN Lite forums

The problem, however, remains a specific point, that WinEQ .992 provokes an "incorrect version" response from EQPN whereas later versions do not. I assume it won't be resolved

EQPlayNice delays its initialization 25 to 30 seconds if WinEQ is detected, to help prevent seeing multiple login dialogs in the new WinEQ versions. It checks the EQ version and asks our server for usage on that version. If it gives you "This version is not currently supported by your access group" and gives something like "eqgame.exe Jul 15 2004 18:01:16", just report the exact date/time given to me and I will add support for that EQ version.

Aha! =)
